## What it is
The open-source codebase for Cali Castle's personal website (cali.so), built with Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS v4. It is a production personal site with MDX blogging, bilingual routing, an owner-only admin for media and AMA management, and hardened security practices — explicitly not maintained as a general-purpose blog template.

## Use cases
- study how a production Next.js personal site is architected
- learn how to build an MDX blog with Next.js and Tailwind
- see how to implement bilingual routing with localized content
- understand how to secure an owner-only admin with Clerk auth and rate limits
- explore ISR-based social data fetching with fallback snapshots
- reference a real-world media library backed by Bunny CDN
- learn fail-closed provider credential patterns
- clone the site to launch a personal blog as described in the author's post

## When to choose
- you want to read or learn from a real, actively maintained production Next.js site
- you need a reference for Next.js App Router, ISR, MDX, and Tailwind v4 patterns
- you want examples of security hardening like CSP, origin checks, and rate limiting
- you are cloning it for personal use as the author documents

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose blog template with support and customization docs
- you want a simple static site generator without a database or auth dependencies
- you expect community-driven feature requests or contributions to be accepted
- you need a multi-user or team blogging platform
