Hello World
First post on the new site. Testing out the blog setup.
metaannouncement
This is the first post on the new site.
Why a new site?
I wanted something fast, minimal, and easy to edit. Hugo was nice but felt limiting when I wanted to do custom things. React-based frameworks ship too much JavaScript for what should be simple content.
Astro hits the sweet spot:
- Zero JavaScript by default
- Full custom control when needed
- Markdown for content
- Static output for speed
The stack
- Framework: Astro
- Styling: Tailwind CSS v4
- Font: JetBrains Mono
- Hosting: Cloudflare Pages
What’s next
I’ll be writing about:
- Things I’m building
- Code patterns and techniques
- Design decisions
- Random thoughts
Stay tuned.
