Personal site for Sina Saeidi — a single reverse-chronological stream of writing, links, and notes, plus a Projects page. Built with Astro, no client-side JS to speak of, deployed on Vercel.

Site colours, fonts, and the about copy are the obvious first things to make your own:
src/styles/global.css, src/layouts/Base.astro (font link), and src/pages/about.astro.
The repo ships a Dockerfile (multi-stage: builds the static site, serves it with
nginx) and an nginx.conf tuned for Astro's directory-style routes.
In Coolify:
- New Resource → your Git source → this repo, branch
main. - Build Pack: Dockerfile (auto-detected from the
Dockerfile). - Port: 80.
- Set the domain to
xesina.comand let Coolify handle TLS.
Every push to main triggers a rebuild. The production URL is set via site in
astro.config.mjs (currently https://xesina.com) — update it if the domain changes.
Prefer Coolify's static build pack instead of Docker? Use install npm ci, build
npm run build, output directory dist.
