This blog application is a part of a monorepo that is currently hosting both the portfolio and the blog (too much I know). This website is written in Next.js and uses MDX for the blog posts. The blog posts are written in markdown and compiled to React components using remark.

The main alternative most teams reach for is markdownlint, which works well but requires a Node.js runtime. For Go projects running in a lean CI environment, pulling in Node.js just to lint Markdown felt like the wrong tradeoff. gomarklint ships as a standalone binary installable via Homebrew, npm, or go install, and integrates with GitHub Actions and pre-commit out of the box.
