Hello, world — building tyfn.online in public
A short note on why I turned the portfolio into an MDX-driven Astro site and what I plan to write about.
Welcome to the new blog. I moved the site over to Astro a while back, and today I finally added a proper MDX-powered writing surface so I can publish notes next to the code.
Why MDX
MDX lets me write normal Markdown for prose and drop in Astro components when a post needs something richer — a code sample, an embed, or a bespoke diagram — without leaving the file.
import { getCollection } from 'astro:content';
const posts = await getCollection('blog', (e) => e.data.lang === 'en');What’s next
I’ll be writing about three things:
- Mobile engineering — Swift, Kotlin, and the parts of Kotlin Multiplatform I actually use in production.
- Design & craft — the small decisions that make an app feel polished.
- Building this site — short retros every time I ship a meaningful change.
If you’d like to follow along, the site supports both English and German — use the language switcher in the floating menu.
