Hello World

This is the first post from One Who Makes. It confirms that mdsvex is working — markdown compiled to Svelte at build time.

Why this exists

I built this site to share what I learn while building with AI. Not theory — the actual workflows, tools, and decisions that go into shipping real projects.

The site itself is proof of concept. It was built with SvelteKit, styled with Tailwind and DaisyUI, and developed almost entirely through agentic coding with Claude Code.

What the stack looks like

Here’s a quick overview of what’s under the hood:

• SvelteKit for the framework and routing
• Tailwind CSS v4 with DaisyUI for styling
• mdsvex for writing posts in markdown
• Shiki for syntax highlighting
• GSAP + Lenis for animations and smooth scroll

Code highlighting

The blog supports syntax-highlighted code blocks. Here’s an example:

const posts = import.meta.glob('/src/posts/*.md', { eager: true });

for (const path in posts) {
  const file = posts[path] as { metadata?: Post };
  const slug = path.split('/').at(-1)?.replace('.md', '');
  console.log(`Found post: ${slug}`);
}

Inline code also works: bun run build produces a static site.

A note on craft

The tools changed. The standards didn’t. — That’s the thread running through everything I build and write about here.

This is just the beginning. More posts coming soon on workflows, tools, and the thinking behind the work.
