Hello, world — Vincet Chen

Welcome. This is the first post on a quiet, formal corner of the internet — a place for writing and work.

Why this site exists

Over the years I have accumulated half‑finished notes in a dozen apps. None of them encouraged me to finish. A small, public space — owned end to end — does. Here I plan to publish:

short essays on the things I’m building,
longer write‑ups when a project is done, and
the occasional list of tools I’ve found useful.

How it’s built

The site is built with Astro and styled with Tailwind CSS. Posts live as Markdown files in a Git repository; pushing to main deploys instantly via Cloudflare Pages.

// src/content/config.ts
const blog = defineCollection({
  type: 'content',
  schema: z.object({
    title: z.string(),
    description: z.string(),
    pubDate: z.coerce.date(),
  }),
});

Zero JavaScript ships by default. The whole site is a few hundred kilobytes.

What to expect

Cadence will be irregular but honest: I post when I have something to say. If you’d like to follow along, the RSS feed is the most reliable way.

Thanks for reading.
