🌟 Why Astro?

Astro stands out because it delivers lightning-fast sites with zero unnecessary JavaScript by default. You get a modern developer experience, flexible integrations, and the freedom to use your favorite UI frameworks—without sacrificing performance. Building with Astro feels effortless, letting you focus on content and creativity instead of wrestling with complex configs.


🛠️ Technologies I Used

Here’s the full toolkit I worked with:

  • Astro: Static site generator built for speed ⚡
  • TypeScript: Type safety + cleaner code
  • DaisyUI & TailwindCSS: Utility-first styling made easy, with components out of the box
  • Markdown: Because writing posts in plain text just feels right ✍️
  • VS Code: My coding playground
  • Git & GitHub: Version control and collaboration (or just me arguing with myself in commit messages)
  • Netlify: Seamless deploys in seconds
  • Netlify form: Easy contact form

🚀 Final Thoughts

Building this site with Astro was honestly fun. If you’re thinking about starting your own blog or portfolio, give Astro a try. You’ll get modern features, fast performance, and a great developer experience.
