About
WaterWord is a Markdown-first technical blog for sharing notes, tutorials, and project write-ups on R, Python, bioinformatics, deep learning, and scientific visualization.
What this starter optimizes for
- Plain Markdown content that works well with editors like Obsidian
- Fast static delivery with built-in RSS, sitemap, and search
- A focused editorial layout for computational research and technical writing
- Room for future AdSense placements without making the site heavy
What WaterWord will cover
- R data analysis workflows
- Python scripting and automation
- Bioinformatics and omics-related notes
- Deep learning experiments and model practice
- Plotting, scientific figures, and data visualization
Writing workflow
Use pnpm new-post "Post title" to create a draft in src/data/blog/<year>/.
Each article uses standard frontmatter:
titledescriptiondatetagsdraft- optional
cover
That keeps the content portable if you later decide to move to another blog stack.
Project direction
The current version focuses on publishing and discoverability first. It does not implement login, subscriptions, or a paywall yet.
Instead, it already includes the base pieces needed for a future content business:
- global AdSense bootstrap in the page head
- reusable ad slot components
- homepage, listing, sidebar, inline article, and article footer placements
When paid content becomes a priority, WaterWord can either evolve toward Astro SSR plus auth and payments, or migrate to a more subscription-oriented platform.
