Welcome to the new blogging system! This post is compiled dynamically from a raw markdown file stored in /notebook/2026-06-26/post.md.

Here is a quick look at the features supported:

1. Bold and Italic Styling

You can write standard Markdown elements. For example, this is bold text and this is italicized text. You can also write inline code for technical terms.

2. Structured Lists

Here is a bulleted list:

  • Brutalist Grid Layout: Perfectly aligns with site dimensions.
  • Auto-compiling Script: Instantly compiles on npm run dev or build.
  • Easy Media Attachments: Place images in attachments/ inside the date folder.

And here is a numbered list of features:

  1. Markdown Frontmatter Parsing (slug, title, date, excerpt, readTime).
  2. Word count automatic reading time estimation.
  3. Path rewriting of relative image URLs to match /public exports.

3. Code Highlighting

Here is an example JavaScript code block:

const compilePosts = require('./scripts/compile-posts');

// Compile notebook markdown files on dev server reload
compilePosts.watch();

4. Blockquotes
