Purpose

Serves the "build in public" ethos — a landing page for Discord, GitHub, and the blog/journal. Targets homelabbers, infrastructure engineers, and anyone interested in self-hosted infrastructure.

Architecture

  • Route: /community
  • Rendering: Static (SSG)
  • Layout: BaseLayout + Starfield + Nebula
  • Styles: <style is:global> (JS-rendered content)
  • Data: Uses getCollection('posts') for recent blog entries (safe — SSG page)

Sections

Hero

  • Badge: "OPEN CHANNEL" with pulse animation
  • Headline: "Where we hang out."
  • CTAs: "Join the Discord" (primary) | "View Services" (secondary)

Community Spaces

Three cards for community channels:

  1. Discord (primary, emphasized) — Real-time chat hub
  2. GitHub — Code, discussions, issues
  3. Blog & Journal — Long-form build logs

Discord card is visually emphasized (wider, glow effect, featured tag).

What We Talk About

Topic pills in a glass panel: Homelab builds, infrastructure architecture, cloud cost optimization, Gentoo, AI/RAG, DevOps, self-hosted, networking, Proxmox, local LLMs.

Community Pillars (3)

  • Build In Public — Transparency, shared mistakes
  • No Gatekeeping — Questions welcome, no judgment
  • Real Engineering — Actual problems, actual solutions

From The Lab

Three most recent blog posts pulled from the posts content collection. Proves "build in public" is real.

CTA

  • Primary: "Join the Discord" with Discord SVG icon
  • Secondary: /services, /start, /homelab

Funnel Position

Homepage hooks → /services converts → /cost proves → /community retains

The community page is the "soft landing" — for visitors who aren't ready to hire or buy but want to stay connected.

Notes

  • Discord invite URL is currently # (placeholder until server is created)
  • Recent posts section only renders if posts exist
  • Green/cyan color palette differentiates from the purple-heavy services page
