## Why This Template?
Most blogging platforms butcher code formatting, strip metadata, and lock your content in a database. This is a **technical blog built for people who write code**, not just about it:
- **Data scientists & ML engineers** who want to publish Jupyter notebooks as blog posts — code, outputs, and narrative intact
- **Technical writers** who need proper syntax highlighting, LaTeX math, and Mermaid diagrams
- **Researchers** publishing analyses with citations, BibTeX references, and reproducible content
- **Developers** who want a blog that loads fast, ranks well, and doesn't cost $20/month to host
> *"I moved my blog from Medium to this template and my organic traffic doubled in three months. Turns out owning your own domain and having proper SEO metadata makes a difference."*
> — **Priya Sharma**, Senior Data Scientist
> *"I publish my Jupyter notebooks directly as blog posts. No screenshots of code, no copy-paste formatting disasters. Just drop the .ipynb and it renders beautifully."*
> — **Tom Eriksson**, ML Engineer, Stockholm
