Code for everything but this file can be found at:

You can just check out Astrowind and drop in my replacement file AFAIK.

Here is my personal site that I built w/Astrowind and deployed to https://www.theoryofgeek.com/ via Vercel.

Right now my personal site is in a private GitHub repo, if you want me to export and attach just LMK.

Thanks! Much appreciated. I assume this is the code that solved your image issue? I seem to remember getting linked to this gist from an image-issue related bug post.
images = import.meta.glob('~/assets/images/**');

RE: the fix as that import.meta.glob, I think so? It's been a few weeks now. I just remember thinking how hilarious it was that the two biggest stumbling blocks were a) a path-related issue for the images and b) trying to center a few divs. Felt very 90s, lol.
