So far, everything’s been great with Astro. Great break from React. In fact, I’ve realized that only 20% of web dev I’ve done in my life ACTUALLY needs React. That being said, React’s component model was what kept me in, and Astro is similar.
I want to start a mini restaurant blog on my site. I eat out a lotta nice places but when someone asks me for recommendations, I can’t remember any.
I’ll make it simple: make a micropost each time I got to a memorable restaurant. Purposely keep it unstructured so I don’t get lazy and stop updating it.
I’m switching my personal site from Nextjs to Astro. I’m taking a break from React, ShadCN, and Nextjs.
With everyone arguing about Nextjs and Tanstack Start, I wonder if Astro is the best “one-size fits all” option. Built in content layer, Astro actions, caching, SSG, and SSR. I’ve been having a great experience, and it’ll likely dethrone Nextjs as my default framework.
