Personal Website

• Favicon source: https://favicon.io/favicon-generator/
• Font: Assistant
• Canonical URLs have trailing slashes to be most compatible with Github Pages
• Uses Next.js for SSG (Server-side generation) to be SEO-friendly
• Uses Chrome's Lighthouse to verify SEO friendliness
• Uses Google Search Console and URL Inspection to request re-indexing

Getting Started

npm install
npm run dev

The dev server runs on http://localhost:3000 and hot-reloads changes in pages/, components/, and public/.

Content

• Home page content lives in public/data/home.md.
• Published posts live in public/data/blogs/*.md; update public/data/blogs/index.json to adjust the list page metadata.
• Draft or private pieces are under public/data/unpublished_blogs/.

Build & Deploy

npm run build

The build step runs next build (configured for static export) and writes the static site to out/, then regenerates the sitemap. Deployments run via the GitHub Actions workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml, or locally via:

npm run deploy

If the website is not updated in Google Search, request re-indexing from Google Search Console → URL Inspection.
