ptycoin

Overview

PTYcoin is a bilingual crypto publication — news, market reads, policy coverage, project spotlights and explainer guides — written for Latin America but relevant anywhere. The premise is simple: most crypto coverage is English-first and US-centric, so PTYcoin treats Spanish and English as equals and keeps a LatAm lens woven through the reporting rather than bolted on. Every article ships in both languages, paired so a reader can switch between them and a publisher can trust the catalog is never half-translated.

How it works

Content is the product, so the content model carries the weight. Each story is two Markdown files — one English, one Spanish — joined by a shared translationKey; CI rejects any post that isn’t paired, which keeps the bilingual promise honest. Articles fall into a fixed set of beats (news, markets, policy, projects, guides) and run through a bespoke plain-CSS Hugo Extended theme with light/dark theming, hreflang, and a language-preference redirect so visitors land in their language. Search is client-side via Pagefind, indexed in both languages at build time. GitHub Actions builds the site and runs the pairing and front-matter checks on every PR; merging to main triggers an automatic deploy to Cloudflare, so publishing is just merging.
