🌲 Veka — Minimalist Digital Garden & Wiki Starter
Veka is a highly-optimized, zero-config digital garden and wiki template built for developers who want a fast, distraction-free environment to log their thoughts, permanent notes, and technical documentation.
Unlike massive enterprise documentation frameworks, Veka is tailored for organic, interconnected knowledge management. Just drop your Markdown files anywhere inside the directory, and Veka will weave them into an elegant, high-performance web experience.
🚀Key Features
- Zero-Config Directory Routing: No more tedious sidebar navigation mapping inside configuration files. Veka automatically scans nested sub-folders recursive-deep and generates your navigation sidebar on the fly.
- Obsidian-Style WikiLinks ([[Syntax]]): Native integration for bi-directional linking. Veka parses custom WikiLink syntax at build time, connecting your notes effortlessly just like your favorite local note-taking apps.
- Lightning-Fast Static Search: Integrated with Pagefind. Search indexing happens locally during the build process—meaning zero production runtime bloat and no dependency on heavy third-party cloud search indexes.
- Rigid Zod Schema Validation: Powered by Astro Content Collections. Your frontmatter metadata (including tags, dates, and growth stages) is fully type-safe, preventing broken builds from typos.
- Digital Garden Methodology: Built-in tracking for note maturity with the `growthStage` property (`seedling`, `budding`, `evergreen`), allowing readers to navigate your evolving thoughts.
- Perfect 100% Lighthouse Score: Crafted with modular, lightweight Astro-native components and minimal vanilla JavaScript for interaction. No heavy UI framework runtime overhead.
