yanjiyu.com

Personal website for Jiyu Yan, built with Astro and deployed at yanjiyu.com.

The site is intentionally English-first and job-search oriented: a concise profile, selected technical writing, and a smaller set of curated personal essays.

Sections

• Home: professional landing page
• About: profile and CV link
• Dev: technical posts, tooling notes, and implementation writeups
• Journal: selected essays, translations, and reflective writing

Stack

• Astro
• React islands for interactive UI
• Tailwind CSS
• Astro content collections
• pnpm

Development

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Run the Astro dev server:

pnpm exec astro dev

Run the full development script when generated theme files need to be watched:

pnpm run dev

Build the site:

pnpm run build

Preview the built output:

pnpm run preview

Content

Main writing collections:

• src/content/dev
• src/content/journal

Each section has scoped taxonomy pages, so Dev posts should link to /dev/tags and /dev/categories, while Journal posts should link to /journal/tags and /journal/categories.
