Building a Git-Native Cocktail Site

Why markdown in git beats a headless CMS for a recipe site like this:

Version control — Every recipe change is a commit. Roll back, branch, review.

Static generation — Velite turns frontmatter into typed data at build time. Pages are fast and cheap to host on Vercel.

Agent-ready — Phase 3 adds an AI cron that commits new .md files via the GitHub API. No admin UI required.

Structured frontmatter — Season, occasion, spirit, and tags power filtering without a database for content.

Stay tuned as we wire up the newsletter, weekly digest cron, and eventually the variety-indexed recipe generator.
