0.1.1 Starlight fixes
The Starlight sidebar order, page addresses, and heading anchors now match what Starlight builds, and frontmatter edits touch only the line you changed.
A small release focused on Starlight sites, plus safer frontmatter writes.
Starlight
- The Starlight sidebar sort in the dashboard now matches Starlight: frontmatter order first, then slug. Manual groups and link items land in their groups.
- Starlight page addresses no longer carry a stray
/docs/prefix, so site preview, the slug display, and Copy URL all point at the right page.
Writing
- The outline shows headings as plain text, and heading anchors match the ones Astro generates.
- Frontmatter edits change only the line you edited, and keep your comments and number formats.
Images
- Stock photo search now needs your own provider key. The shared proxy is gone.
0.1.0 First public release
Zeku opens your Astro project, reads its content collections, and lets you write, preview, audit, and publish without leaving the app.
The first public build of Zeku, for Windows 10 and 11, with a 14-day free trial.
Opens your project
- Point Zeku at an Astro repo and it finds the content folder on its own.
- Every collection your
content.config.tsdeclares shows up, including collections whose folder is nested or named differently from the collection. - Field types come from the schemas
astro syncwrites, with a fallback that reads your config directly. - Folders that are not Astro projects open too, as plain markdown.
Writing
- Live preview editing: formatting renders as you type, and the syntax shows only where your cursor is.
- Callouts, Starlight admonitions, tables, footnotes, KaTeX math, mermaid diagrams, and Expressive Code blocks.
- YouTube, Vimeo, X, Bluesky, CodePen, Spotify, and GitHub Gist embeds render inline.
- Spellcheck that runs locally, with your own word list.
- Zen mode, folding, multiple cursors, outline, tags, and links panels.
Frontmatter
- A frontmatter editor that knows your schema: enum suggestions,
reference()lookups, date pickers, checkboxes, and required-field markers. - Keys your schema does not know keep working.
- Dates are written in the format you choose.
MDX and images
- A component builder (Ctrl+/) that finds your components, fills in props, and adds the import.
- Drag, drop, or paste images and they land in the right assets folder with a clean name.
- Stock photo search for Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay, with your own free API key.
Preview, audit, publish
- Site preview runs your project’s own
astro devbeside the editor. - SEO audit per note and per collection, with thresholds you set.
- Publish shows what changed, takes a commit message, pulls, and pushes.
- Dashboard with cards or list views, filters, bulk actions, and Starlight sidebar ordering.
Safety
- Autosave, crash recovery outside your repo, and outside-edit detection.
- Deleted files go to the Recycle Bin, never straight to nowhere.
- Zeku never reads or writes
.obsidian, so Obsidian and Vault CMS can share the same folder.
