Site rebuild with Chirpy

Rebuilt this site from scratch using Jekyll and the Chirpy theme.

Why

The old site was unmaintained and based on a custom theme with no clear structure. I wanted something that:

• Supports a note-taking workflow (write locally, push to publish)
• Has good dark mode and code highlighting out of the box
• Doesn’t require a CMS or web UI

Stack

• Jekyll — static site generator
• Chirpy — theme with built-in tags, categories, dark mode
• GitHub Actions — build and deploy on push to main
• scripts/publish.sh — helper to validate front matter and commit posts

Post types

Posts are tagged with a type field:

• investigation — explored a topic; notes on findings
• plan — scoped a project; goals, approach, open questions
• idea — rough concept, not yet investigated

What’s next

• Add posts for ongoing investigations (GC analyser, agent patterns)
• Flesh out the projects page descriptions
