About This Site
This blog is built with Astro, a modern static site generator that delivers lightning-fast performance with a JavaScript-first approach.
Why Astro?
Astro represents a new way of thinking about web development. Rather than shipping a whole page of JavaScript to the client, Astro only sends the parts that are absolutely necessary. This approach results in significantly faster loading times and better user experience.
Key Features Demonstrated
- Component-Based Architecture: Reusable components like BlogPost and FullBlogPost
- Shared Layouts: Consistent design across all pages with BlogLayout
- Static Site Generation: Pre-rendered pages for maximum performance
- Zero Client JavaScript: Fast loading with minimal JavaScript overhead
Technology Stack
