Why I built this site as markdown in a folder
Blog posts live in git — add a file, push from anywhere, and the site rebuilds.
I wanted a blog I could update from my phone without touching a CMS or admin panel.
So posts live right here in blog-posts/ as plain Markdown files. Add frontmatter at the top, write the body, commit, push — Vercel rebuilds and it's live.
The workflow
- New file in
blog-posts/(e.g.2026-05-31-my-thoughts.md) - Frontmatter with
title,date, and optionaldescription - Push to GitHub — even from the mobile app
- Done — the post shows up at
/blogand gets its own page
What I'll write about
- Building and shipping (unpaste.ai, side projects, infra)
- TIBER — Technology, Innovation, Business, Entrepreneurship, Research
- Early founder life as an 18yo in Brisbane
- Tools I actually use: Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js, Python
More posts coming soon. If you're reading this, the pipeline works.
