Hello, World
============

Kicking off the new portfolio with a fresh Laravel 13 stack — here is what is on deck.

 This is the first post on the new site. It is rendered straight from a Markdown file in `resources/content/posts/`, with YAML frontmatter at the top.

What changed
------------

- Fresh Laravel 13 install
- Vite + Tailwind v4 instead of Mix + Tailwind v3
- Markdown-driven blog (no admin UI required)
- Multilingual (EN / DE / TR)
- Privacy-friendly analytics by default, GA4 + Clarity gated behind cookie consent

Why
---

The previous site was a SmartAdmin starter with a single landing page glued on top. Most of the framework weight was unused. Time for a lean rewrite.

Run `php artisan blog:sync` to refresh post rows from the markdown sources.
