Building the Daily Log Section

Today I focused on implementing the Daily Log section of the blog, which is where I’ll post daily updates about my development activities.

What I Accomplished

  • Set up the content collection for daily log entries
  • Created a layout specifically for daily log entries
  • Designed the daily log list page
  • Added sorting and pagination for the entries

Technical Details

For the content collections, I’m using Astro’s content collections feature. This allows me to organize my content into typed collections and query them with full type safety.

// Example of the collection schema
const daily = defineCollection({
  schema: z.object({
    title: z.string(),
    pubDate: z.coerce.date(),
  }),
});

Insights

I’m finding that maintaining a daily log of my development activities is not just helpful for documentation, but also for my own reflection. It’s a good way to track progress and identify patterns in my work.

Next Steps

Tomorrow I plan to work on the Tutorials section and improve the SEO metadata for the site.
