Sample post: a day in Kyoto

A demonstration post showing the travel-post format — cover photo, location, galleries, and captions. Delete before launch.

Placeholder cover image

This is sample content. It exists to demonstrate the post format — a geotagged travel post with a cover image, inline photos, and a gallery. The "photographs" are generated colour gradients. Delete this file and replace the images in public/photos/ with your own before launch.

A post starts with ordinary markdown. The frontmatter above sets the title, date, tags, a cover photo, and — for travel posts — a location with coordinates, which will drive the travel map when it lands.

Single photos drop in with a caption:

Body text flows around them like any article. When a day produces more photographs than words, group them into a gallery:

Placeholder gradient — market
Placeholder gradient — shrine
Placeholder gradient — dawn
Placeholder gradient — night

Plain markdown images work too — they get the same treatment automatically:

That's the whole format: one .mdx file per post, photos in public/photos/, push to main, and the site deploys itself.
