Writing on dimasbaguspm.dev — how posts go live

This site is built with Astro in SSR mode. Posts live as Markdown in content/posts/, fetched from the GitHub repo at request time via Octokit. That means writing a post is just a commit: no build step, no admin panel, no database.

// a post is Markdown + frontmatter, versionable and portable
export const prerender = false;

The shape of a post

Every file starts with frontmatter. Three fields matter most:

• title becomes the H1
• description becomes the SEO and share-preview text
• pubDate sets the sort order (newest first)

Tags render as small #pills under the title. Keep them short and lowercase.

What renders well

Inline code gets a grey pill. Fenced blocks get a dark GitHub theme:

pnpm build   # only if you want to verify locally

Links are underlined green. Quotes get a green left border. Tables scroll on mobile. The accent is a calm green (#2f6f4f) pulled from the site theme.

The rule that saves you

SEO tags are generated for you from the frontmatter. Write a real description and you never touch a meta tag by hand.

Keep it simple, keep it stupid.
