Source for cosmiccoding.com.au — Sam Hinton's personal site. Books, reviews, blog posts, tutorials, an artist corner, and a CV.

The site is a static build produced by Astro v5 with Svelte 5 islands for the interactive bits (reviews explorer, artists explorer, mobile menu, code-toggle on tutorials). It deploys to GitHub Pages from master via .github/workflows/gh-pages.yml.

It used to be a Hugo site. The migration is documented under plans/.

make install   # installs casks, node deps, python deps via uv
make blog      # `npm run dev` — local Astro dev server with HMR
make prod      # clean build into `dist/`

• src/content/ — Astro content collections (reviews/, blogs/, tutorials/).
• src/pages/ — routes; dynamic [...slug].astro files render collection items.
• src/components/ — Astro components, with Svelte islands under components/islands/.
• src/data/ — typed YAML-replacement data files (books, artists, podcasts, …).
• src/lib/ — shared helpers (covers, content sorting, types, the fancy-card 3-D effect).
• src/styles/ — Tailwind v4 entrypoint plus plain-CSS partials, all imported from main.css. The CSS-first @theme block in main.css replaces what used to live in tailwind.config.cjs.
• src/assets/ — images and SVGs that go through astro:assets for hashing/optimisation.
• astro-public/ — verbatim static files (favicons, CNAME, podcast thumbnails, CV PDF).
• content/ — markdown sources. Tutorials are generated from notebooks via builder/convert.py.
• plans/ — phase-by-phase migration plan, kept around for context.
• skills/ — authoritative operational playbooks (book reviews, find-artists, humanizer, …). make install symlinks these into .claude/skills/ and .cursor/skills/.

• Drafting a new review — see skills/book-review/.
• Refreshing the cover-artist database from r/ProgressionFantasy — see skills/find-artists/.
• Editing review prose without sounding AI-generated — see skills/humanizer/.
