Welcome to Zen

This is your new personal blog built with Astro and powered by Inkdrop. A minimalist, performance-first approach to personal blogging.

Features

Zen comes packed with carefully selected features that enhance your writing and reading experience.

The Solarized Osaka dark theme gives your blog a distinctive terminal feel that developers love.

The carefully crafted color palette includes:

BlexMono Nerd Font provides excellent readability with monospace charm.

Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) to instantly search through all your posts.

Pagefind creates a static search index at build time, making searches lightning fast with zero runtime dependencies.

Write in English or Vietnamese - the blog handles both seamlessly.

The language switcher in the header lets readers toggle between available translations.

Ready to start your Zen journey? Here’s what you need to know.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Create your content in Inkdrop or directly in markdown files.

Each post needs frontmatter with title, description, date, and tags.

Here’s a simple TypeScript function:

function greet(name: string): string {
  return `Hello, ${name}! Welcome to Zen.`;
}

console.log(greet('Developer'));

Make Zen your own with these customization options.

Edit the CSS variables in global.css to change the color scheme.

Modify the layout components in src/layouts/ to adjust the structure.

Deploy your blog to the edge with Cloudflare Pages.

Run yarn build to generate the production build.

Set up your environment variables in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Happy writing!
