Hello World - A Fresh Start
AstroTailwind CSSWeb Development
Why Astro?
After going through Hexo and Pelican, I decided to rebuild my personal site with Astro — a modern static site generator that ships zero JavaScript by default.
What I was looking for
- Performance: Ship minimal JavaScript, fast page loads
- Developer Experience: TypeScript, component-based architecture, hot module reload
- Content-first: Native Markdown/MDX support with content collections
- Flexibility: Easy to integrate with any UI framework if needed
The Stack
This site is built with:
- Astro - Static site framework
- Tailwind CSS v4 - Utility-first CSS
- TypeScript - Type safety
- MDX - Enhanced Markdown for blog posts
What’s next
I plan to write more about:
- Data structures and algorithms
- Web development techniques
- Tools and productivity tips
Stay tuned for more posts!
