Danny van KootenPlaying with Astro to see what the fuss is about.
What I like:
- It's just JS. Very flexible.
- Component-based.
- Schema validation for front matter.
- Can be a completely static site, can have dynamic content.
What I dislike:
- It's just JS 😅
To add to this, it's definitely not as simple as something like 11ty or Gozer.
Also seems a bit focused on client-side frameworks (although it can definitely be used without, it mentions them throughout the docs), where I'm mostly looking to use it for static content sites.
I rewrote my personal site using Astro.
Nothing fancy, but I do like how Astro makes it easy to have semi-dynamic content. Like the # of GitHub stars on this page here.
Jorijn Schrijvershof@dvk Astro is pretty neat. I use it to run Arbory.io on cloudflare workers.
