gatsby-theme-wirehead-tree

I wanted to make Gatsby work the way I wanted it to work, which turns out to be a little non-trivial.

Specifically:

I don’t want to be too wedded to a “blog” idea where it’s just an about section and a single blog. Hierarchial trees are great.
I want a content folder that contains a bunch of markdown or MDX files with frontmater
I don’t want to have to put slugs in the file names, I just want the file name to determine the path.
I want to be able to generate queries for the structure of the site easily, including breadcrumbs.
I want to have titles for each of the pages (specified as the title key in the frontmatter) and I want them to be respected in the navigational elements and breadcrumbs with.
I want to be able to add dates with a date key in the frontmatter and be able to search on them.
I want to be able to use a type key in the frontmatter to select the template because MDX has some weird stuff with it’s native idea of templating and it doesn’t really work the way I wanted it to.
I also want to be able to make JSX pages that have front matter in them. And I don’t want to have a bunch of special-case code generating the navigational bits of the site that check if it’s using JSX or MDX.
I wanted to mark something as a draft and have it not be published.
