Content Guide

How to add and edit content on the site. Two sections use Content Collections (typed markdown/MDX); the interest pages are hand-built .astro files.

---

Projects (Professional page)

Projects render from src/content/projects/*.md (or .mdx). Each file is one project card. The schema lives in src/content.config.ts.

Add a project

Create src/content/projects/my-project.md:

---
title: 'My Awesome Project'
role: 'Lead Developer'           # optional, default: 'Developer'
tech: ['TypeScript', 'Node.js', 'SAP BTP']  # rendered as pills
summary: 'A 2-3 sentence description of what it does and your contribution.'
repo: 'https://github.com/you/repo'    # optional
demo: 'https://demo.example.com'        # optional
caseStudy: 'https://blog.example.com'   # optional
cover: '/images/my-project.png'         # optional, public path
order: 20                               # lower = shown first, default 100
placeholder: false                      # true hides it from "real" styling
---

Optional longer writeup in markdown here. The card only shows `summary`, but you
can link to a case study for depth.

Field reference

Field	Type	Required	Notes
title	string	yes	Project name
role	string	no	e.g. "Lead Developer"
tech	string[]	no	Tag pills
summary	string	yes	Short card description
repo / demo / caseStudy	URL	no	Outbound links
cover	string	no	Image path in public/
order	number	no	Sort weight
placeholder	boolean	no	Marks it as a TODO card

To remove the seed placeholder, delete placeholder-project.md. Aim for 3-6 real entries per the spec.

---

Experience (Professional timeline)

Experience renders from src/content/experience/*.md. Each file is one role on the vertical timeline.

Add a role

Create src/content/experience/another-role.md:

---
company: 'Previous Co.'
title: 'Junior Developer'
period: '2016 - 2020'             # free-form date label
focus: 'What you primarily did.'  # optional
icon: 'briefcase'                 # mdi icon name for the marker
order: 20                         # lower = more recent / first
---

- Bullet point of an accomplishment.
- Another bullet, ideally with a metric.
- One more, showing impact.

The body renders inside an expandable "Show details" panel. Use markdown lists for bullets. Replace the bracketed placeholders in the seed implico.md with real outcomes, metrics, and dates.

Icon names

The icon field takes an mdi name without the mdi: prefix. Browse names at pictogrammers.com or search the installed set:

node -e "const m=require('./node_modules/@iconify-json/mdi/icons.json'); console.log(Object.keys(m.icons).filter(n=>n.includes('cloud')).join('\n'))"

---

Interest pages

Each interest is a hand-built page in src/pages/interests/. They follow the spec's template: Header (title + tagline), Overview (narrative), Highlights (card grid), Currently (active now), Related (cross-links).

To edit content, open the relevant .astro file and change the copy in the frontmatter arrays or the section bodies. To add a new interest:

1. Create src/pages/interests/my-interest.astro (copy an existing page as a template).
2. Use <BaseLayout surface="interest">, <InterestHero>, <InterestCard>, and <RelatedInterests>.
3. Add a card for it in src/pages/interests/index.astro (the hub).

---

Global content (nav, socials, tagline)

Edit src/lib/site.ts:

• siteIdentity — name, tagline, domain
• navGroups — the two-group top nav
• socials — footer + contact links (replace the [Greg to fill] handles)

---

Finding placeholders

Every [Greg to fill] gap from the spec is rendered as a styled Placeholder slot (dashed border + pencil badge + "TODO · label"). To find them all:

grep -rn "Placeholder label" src/
grep -rn "Greg to fill\|\[Greg" src/

Replace each with real content as you gather it.
