Rebuilt my website https://sandroroth.com from scratch with @astro 🚀

@sandroroth I was thinking about to do the same for my website. What I dislike the most about 11ty is the lack of editor support for the template languages.
Astro is awesome and I like that you can easily integrate React components.

How much did the build time change for your entire site?

@lgk It increased from ~1.3s to ~10s (~8s with cache) on my machine. This isn’t a fair comparison since I redesigned the site, switched to Tailwind, and added dark mode. It’s also noticeably slower during local development when making changes, but still better than Eleventy’s WebC, which often misses changes and requires a server restart.

Overall, the developer experience is worth the trade-off.
