Hello, world
A first post — and a quick tour of what the writing template can render.
Welcome
My name is Ankur and I ask questions to understand things that either interest me or trouble me. I write about some of these questions here. Read the About section for more.
Writing
Writing with markdown
A short guide to the markdown features wired into this template — cover images, code, math, footnotes, and admonitions.
Writing with MDX
Posts can also be .mdx — same frontmatter, but with imports, JSX, and inline expressions on top of plain markdown.
Notes on the tooling
What's underneath this template — Astro, Pagefind, Giscus, KaTeX — and why each piece is here.
On restraint in design
A short note on the editorial choices behind this template — and why most things are quiet on purpose.
