Why Astro

This is my first post on this site, and I am excited to share how I set it up using Astro. I chose Astro because it allows me to build fast, modern websites with a focus on performance and user experience. The framework’s component-based architecture makes it easy to manage and scale the site as needed.

I started the site using the Astro-Nano template. It provided a great start with a clean minimal design, and with most of the features that I was looking for.

Some of these features include:

• using tailwind for styling
• a simple blog / project system
• dark/light mode
• a clean and minimal design
• lightweight (full CSR) and optimized for SEO

Hosting Setup

My domain was purchased though cloudflare, but I am not using their static page hosting. I am instead using github pages to host the site as it seemed to make the deployment process much more straightforward, push to the repo and in about a minute the changes are on the site.
