jumploops.com

Personal blog for @jumploops, built with Astro. Lightly neobrutalist, light/dark mode, and a cursor-following circle generator for fun.

Writing a post

Drop a markdown file in src/content/blog/:

---
title: "Post title"
description: "One-line summary shown in the feed."
pubDate: 2026-07-14
tags: ["tools"]
draft: false
---

Post body here.

The home page shows every non-draft post newest-first. Posts longer than CLAMP_THRESHOLD characters (see src/pages/index.astro) are clamped in the feed with an "expand more" link to the full post.

Commands

Admin editor (/admin)

A hosted markdown editor with exact-render previews. All public pages stay prerendered static; only /admin runs on the Worker (Astro + the @astrojs/cloudflare adapter).

• Drafts live in Workers KV (DRAFTS binding) — nothing touches the git repo until you publish.
• code / preview toggle: preview renders the draft through the same markdown pipeline (@astrojs/markdown-remark) and the same layout as the live site, so it is pixel-identical to the published post.
• Publish commits src/content/blog/<slug>.md to main via the GitHub Contents API, which triggers the Workers Builds deploy. Publishing an edit to an existing post updates the same file.
• Auth: HTTP Basic Auth (user admin) enforced by src/middleware.ts. Fails closed if the secret is missing.

Required Worker secrets (one-time):

npx wrangler secret put ADMIN_PASSWORD   # login password for /admin
npx wrangler secret put GITHUB_TOKEN     # fine-grained PAT, Contents: RW on this repo

For local dev, put ADMIN_PASSWORD=... in .dev.vars (gitignored) and run npm run dev.

Deploying (Cloudflare Workers)

Auto-deploy: pushes to main build and deploy via Workers Builds (build command npm run build, deploy command npx wrangler deploy -c dist/server/wrangler.json — the adapter generates the deploy config into dist/server/).

Manual deploy: npm run deploy (requires npx wrangler login once).

The Worker is jumploops-com, served at jumploops.com via a custom domain (Workers & Pages → jumploops-com → Settings → Domains & Routes).
