Hello, world
This post exists so there is something in the list while the real writing gets started. Delete it whenever you like.
How posting works
Every file in src/content/writing/en/ becomes an English post, and every file
in src/content/writing/de/ a German one. The filename is the URL slug, so
src/content/writing/en/hello-world.md is served at /writing/hello-world/.
Posts don’t have to exist in both languages — each listing only shows what’s available in the current one.
The frontmatter block at the top is validated at build time — a missing
title or a malformed date fails the build rather than shipping a broken
page. The available fields are:
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
title |
yes | Used as the page title and in listings |
description |
yes | Shown in listings, meta tags, and RSS |
date |
yes | YYYY-MM-DD; controls sort order |
draft |
no | true hides it from production builds |
tags |
no | A list of strings |
translationKey |
no | Ties a post to its counterpart in the other language |
Slugs differ between languages (hello-world vs hallo-welt), so
translationKey is what lets the language toggle jump between the two
versions of the same post.
Drafts
Set draft: true and the post stays visible in npm run dev but is dropped
from the production build, the sitemap, and the RSS feed. Flip it to false
when it’s ready.
Code
Syntax highlighting is on by default, with separate light and dark themes:
export function greet(name: string): string {
return `Hello, ${name}`;
}Use .mdx instead of .md if a post needs components embedded in it.
