Learning Astro Framework

Documenting my journey learning Astro and building this personal website.

Learning Astro Framework

I’ve been diving deep into Astro lately, and it’s been an amazing experience. Here are some key takeaways:

What Makes Astro Special

  • Component-based architecture similar to React/Vue but with better performance
  • Partial hydration - only load JavaScript when needed
  • Content collections for better content management
  • Great developer experience with TypeScript support

Challenges Overcome

  1. Setting up content collections properly
  2. Understanding the build process
  3. Configuring deployment to Cloudflare

Next Steps

I’m planning to add more interactive features and improve the design. The journey continues!
