Welcome to HackDrops

This blog is a 100% static Astro site with articles written in MDX — Markdown supercharged with interactive components.

No WordPress, no GraphQL, no server required.
Every article is a .mdx file in src/content/posts/.

What is MDX?

MDX lets you use JSX (React/Astro components) inline inside your Markdown:

import Callout from "../../components/Callout.astro";

<Callout type="tip">This is a tip rendered as a component inside Markdown.</Callout>

Writing a new post

1. Create a file: src/content/posts/my-post-slug.mdx
2. Add frontmatter (title, date, categories, tags…)
3. Write your content with full Markdown + any Astro component
4. git push — GitHub Actions builds and deploys automatically
