Stack

• Astro 6 — static site generator, MDX content
• Vanilla Extract — typed CSS-in-TS
• Bun — package manager + runtime
• Rust — design tokens authored in tokens-gen/, codegen'd to TypeScript at build time
• Fraunces + JetBrains Mono — typography
• Shiki + KaTeX — code highlighting and math
• Deployed to GitHub Pages via the workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml

Local development

bun install
bun run dev      # http://localhost:4321/niekkamer/

Build

bun run build    # runs `bun run codegen` (Rust → TS) then `astro build`
bun run preview  # serve the built site

bun run codegen requires a Rust toolchain (cargo). The deploy workflow installs dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable automatically.

Content

• src/content/writing/ — long-form posts (MDX, math + Shiki code)
• src/content/projects/ — project case studies
• src/content/about/ — about-page prose
• src/data/site.ts — site metadata, author socials
