Recent posts is empty if all the current posts are marked as featured

On my version of this (Smale.Codes there is only one post and it is featured. As such there is nothing in Recent and nothing to say 'no posts here' or similar.

I intentionally filtered Featured Posts under Recent Posts section.
In this way, I can avoid redundant posts in the index.

Maybe the best way to deal with this problem is to hide Recent section if there's no blog post for that.
Alternative method to solve this issue is displaying all posts without filtering featured posts.

To do so, for now, you can remove the filter logic in src/pages/index.astro

    <section id="recent-posts">
      <h2>Recent Posts</h2>
      <ul>
        {
          sortedPosts
            .filter(({ data }) => !data.featured) // 👈🏻 remove this 
            .map(
              ({ data, slug }, index) =>
                index < 4 && (
                  <Card
                    href={`/posts/${slug}`}
                    frontmatter={data}
                    secHeading={false}
                  />
                )
            )
        }
      </ul>
 ....

understood, I wonder if there needs to be some smarter logic to see if it is going to be empty then populate it as a message saying 'there are no posts' will be a bit odd.

something like, if there are posts and there is something after the filter, show that, if there are sortedPosts but nothing after the filter, remove the filter, and if there are no sorted posts, show 'no posts yet'
