You are reading this on a platform you own.
Not a platform you rent. Not a dashboard behind someone else’s login. The actual files, on your machine, that you can read, change, move, and run anywhere.
What you have
This Skeleton ships with everything you need to publish on your own terms:
- One working chamber with a clean layout and responsive design.
- One content type (posts) with a typed schema that validates your work at build time. Bad data never reaches production.
- A draft gate that makes shipping unfinished work nearly impossible. Mark a post as “draft” and it disappears from your live site and your RSS feed. It only shows in dev mode, where you can preview it safely.
- An owned RSS feed. Your readers connect through a pipe you control, in a format you can export, that no company can cut.
- A sitemap for search engines, generated automatically.
- Four total dependencies. Four things that can break. Four things to audit.
What you should do next
- Read the Build Bible to understand why every piece is here.
- Follow the Deploy Guide to get this live on free infrastructure.
- Read the Make It Yours guide to rename things, adjust the design, and start writing.
The architecture is yours. The decisions are explained. The teaching is free.
