Day 0: Building 100daydash.blog

Today is the foundation day for 100daydash.blog, a public sprint to publish 100 dashboards in 100 days.

The goal is simple: each day should produce a useful data artifact and a short writeup that explains the question, data source, method, and result. Some days will be exploratory. Some will be polished. The important thing is that the workflow stays repeatable enough to survive the full run.

The project is organized as a small monorepo:

• web/ contains the Astro site, content collection, layouts, and public media.
• dashboards/ contains Python dashboard code, tests, data folders, and outputs.
• scripts/ contains local automation for creating and validating dashboard days.
• docs/ captures architecture, security, and development notes.

The Day 0 dashboard folder lives at dashboards/day-000-introduction. It is intentionally lightweight: it proves the repo shape, test setup, and static output flow before the first real data dashboard begins.
