Hello, World (Again)

Welcome to the first post on the rebuilt World of Obi.

This site started as plain HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. It’s now an Astro project written in TypeScript — same look, same feel, but posts like this one are just Markdown files in a folder.

How a post gets here

Every post is a .md file in src/content/blog/. The frontmatter at the top is type-checked at build time, so a typo in a date or a missing title fails the build instead of silently breaking the page.

const blog = defineCollection({
  loader: glob({ pattern: '**/*.md', base: './src/content/blog' }),
  schema: z.object({
    title: z.string(),
    pubDate: z.coerce.date(),
    tags: z.array(z.string()).default([]),
  }),
});

Code blocks get syntax highlighting out of the box, links work, and images drop in like any Markdown doc.

More posts on FPGAs, low-latency C++, and whatever else I’m building — coming soon.
