Hello, High Signals

A quick introduction to the High Signals blog and what to expect.

Hello, High Signals

Welcome to High Signals — a place for writing that cuts through the noise.

What this is

This blog is built with Phoenix LiveView and stores posts as plain markdown files. Short URLs are tracked in a Postgres database so every campaign link can be measured independently.

How short links work

Each visit is recorded — including timestamp, IP, user agent, and referer — so you know exactly where your readers are coming from.

Writing posts

Drop a .md file in priv/posts/ with YAML front-matter:

---
title: "My Post Title"
date: 2026-03-19
description: "Optional excerpt shown under the title."
---
Your post body goes here.

Code example

Here is a tiny Elixir snippet just to confirm that code blocks render properly:

defmodule Greeting do
def hello(name), do: "Hello, #{name}!"
end
IO.puts Greeting.hello("world")

That's it — enjoy writing!
