I've been working on Buzz.

Right now, it's in the I-know-it's-gonna-work-but-there's-a-hundred-little-papercuts-to-incur phase. Proof of concept is there, MVP is in sight, and I can see 100 other attempts in the same general direction, almost all of them way more polished[^1] than my POC.

So I took a little side quest this morning, for ENERGY.


The Task: make a folder of Markdown files available on web

The stack:

  • Astro
  • Starlight
  • some simple plugins

The site is live.

This was close to no-code, just 12 files of mostly configs.

I had to write one plugin, to add a custom permalink for each Markdown document. And two little scripts to apply one-off fixes against raw data.

Astro is really fast to render; fast to build; simple yet powerful.

So easy, I could tinker away at this side quest, while monitoring my agents doing the heavy lifting on Buzz[^2].

It gets slightly harder for no-coders if you want to add auth, but anything outside of web3 auth is already done for you via Astro integratio...
