Lab Notes

Static Publishing Workflow

Notes on using a Markdown-driven static site as a durable personal technical notebook.

This note outlines the publishing approach behind The Labs @ Milchuck.com: keep technical writing in Markdown, organize it with content collections, and generate a static site that is simple to host and maintain.

The initial publishing model is intentionally simple:

  • write notes as Markdown
  • validate metadata through content collections
  • build static HTML
  • deploy the generated dist/ folder

The goal is a low-friction place for lab notes, project pages, field observations, diagrams, fabrication sketches, and software implementation details without carrying the overhead of a database-backed CMS.
