Why the switch

I moved this site from Astro Paper to Astro Erudite. Paper was fine, but the layouts and type did not match how I write. Erudite gives me tighter pages and built-in subposts. I also aligned tokens so the blog and Quartz feel consistent.

Front matter

I kept only what I use.

  • Required: title, description, pubDatetime, tags.
  • Defaults: author falls back to SITE.author. Add authors only when needed.
  • For series: order keeps subposts in sequence. parentSlug lets me nest posts under a parent.

Pages CMS

The editor matches the schema and handles uploads and scheduling. When a post belongs to a series, adding a parent nests it automatically.
