How this blog was made
Well, what else would it be if not a typical story of:
- This is easy, lets just deploy a ready Markdown renderer with a blog plugin
- That did not work, lets build our own frontend with NextJS like all the cool kids do
- Lets think carefully this time. There are actual blog starter projects made by professionals, and there is no reason not to use them, so long as they are fitting our use case.
And here we are! A blog made with Astro based starter made by a talented frontend dev, but powered by my ingenious backend skills! So it includes a dedicated CMS, a dedicated What you see is what you get editor, and a multi cloud hosting and deployment solution that reads the content from CMS, adds summary by an LLM, then prepares a image generation prompt based on that summary, and finally creates a headline image! The content of the post is fully human, with my own choice of images and content 😃
