TLDR
Migrating all existing settlers-journal entries into a static website built on AstroJS and AstroPaper (this website). Deploying this static website on my portfolio website. Automating the migration of journal entries by using Claude Code for formatting and frontmatter generation.
Main work
- Researching different static site generator tools.
- Researching different static site themes and libraries.
- Manually converting a single existing journal entry.
- Building out a thorough prompt to execute all N journal entry migrations using M subagents.
Challenges
- Lots of choices for static site generators and particular styles or themes.
- Balancing the amount of out-of-the-box features with the number of dependencies you’re reliant on.
Learnings
- Claude Code can come up with pretty decent summaries of content.
- It is still not useful for generating genuinely novel content.
- With my Pro subscription to Claude Code, it’s beneficial to execute batch work that eats through tokens towards the end of my session and before my token quota refreshes.
