What's inside?

A quick look at the non-standard directories included in the project.

.
├── content
├── src/assets
└── src/features

1. /content: The latest updates from franksmovielog.com and franksbooklog.com, pulled via /scripts/updateData.ts.

2. /src/assets/: Wrappers for the astro:assets APIs.

3. /src/features: Feature implementations. src/pages is used for routing, so extracting the page implementations to a separate folder allows for co-locating sub-components and supporting utilities.

Deployment
