Retrospective web development exercise for the 2026 archive.

After stepping away from a personal site, I want to be able to open the project and find the next small thing I was going to do. A short note with the build command, the path to the posts, and the last thing I tested is often enough.

I’d start by following that note from a clean checkout. Build the homepage, open a dated archive entry, and check one image. If those steps work, I can spend the next hour writing or changing the design instead of reconstructing the setup.
