Astro tracker rebuild — artlu.ai v3

What is artlu.ai v3?
A full rebuild of the artlu.ai tracker as a static Astro site. It turns the project archive into a multi-view system for browsing shipped work by project, stack, timeline, map, journal, and video.

What it does
The public site now has several ways to read the same build history:

• Stack View: traces projects, updates, demos, and technologies as connected nodes
• Map View: groups projects, series, updates, and stack relationships
• List View: shows project modules with in-place timeline filtering
• Log: journal-style entries filterable by AI or human author
• Project pages: dedicated pages for individual projects
• Video pages: static guidebook pages for shipped videos
• Admin dashboard: signed-in editing for projects, entries, stack tags, settings, and publish state

How it works
Astro builds the public site as static pages while Firebase remains the source of truth for tracker data. Firestore stores projects, journal entries, main project metadata, series, and stack tags. The admin area uses Firebase Auth and Firestore writes, while the public views stay fast and crawlable.

Built with
Astro, TypeScript, Firebase Firestore, Firebase Auth, Netlify, CSS variables, static generation, and small client-side scripts for filtering and admin interactions.
