[ The Problem ]
Most people can name maybe two or three African women from history — yet there are over a hundred whose stories shaped the continent and never made it into classrooms.
[ The Solution ]
A fully static, searchable archive built on Nuxt Content: profiles are Markdown with Zod-validated frontmatter, prerendered into fast pages with search by region, era, and cause, an interactive timeline, contextual articles, and built-in text-to-speech.
[ Highlights ]
- ▸139+ profiles across 26 countries, plus 24 in-depth articles
- ▸Content-as-data architecture: Markdown + typed Zod collections, zero backend
- ▸Text-to-speech playback, favourites, reading progress, RSS feed, and newsletter
- ▸Open source (MIT) with good-first-issue onboarding for new contributors
