Choosing the stack

The structure of this site set the requirements. Build logs nest inside their project, so a log’s address reads /projects/<project>/<post>, and every project gets its own RSS feed.

I looked at three options:

• WordPress stores posts flat. Nesting them under projects means a custom post type, a relationship plugin, and permalink rewrites, plus ongoing plugin updates.
• Kirby handles nesting naturally because folders are pages. But it’s a PHP app, and my stack is GitHub, Vercel, and Supabase, which are built around JavaScript.
• Astro with Keystatic keeps every post as a file in my GitHub repo, gives me an editor to write in, and deploys to Vercel on every save.

I went with Astro and Keystatic. Content stays in Git, so every change has history and a preview. And since Ghost Writer exports Markdown, it can eventually draft build logs straight into this site.
