Moving from Ghost to Astro


I’ve been working on moving my blog from Ghost to Astro over the last few days. This was mainly a technical exercise in getting to a solution that seems only useful to me but maybe there’s things you can take away from it too.

Some of the content in this post is to make sure everything is working as expected

I’ve been thinking about making this blog less cumbersome to post and Ghost was fine on that front. I am now using Obsidian to write my drafts and publish them too.

Pardon the dust

There are some pretty bad UI bugs right now and some small things missing but overall, I just wanted an MVP (minimum viable post) ready today to start my trip to Mexico in a few days.

Things that are broken right now

  • headings aren’t getting formatted
  • Lists aren’t formatted at all
  • Mobile CSS is lacking
  • MD to MDX line spaces aren’t working?

update checks

this will be removed soon
