Building this site with Astro

This whole site is just a handful of files. Here’s the gist of how it works.

The stack

• Astro builds everything to static HTML, so pages load instantly and there’s no JavaScript shipped unless I add it.
• Markdown for posts. Each post is one .md file in src/content/blog/.
• Cloudflare Pages hosts it — every git push triggers a fresh build.

Adding a post

Drop a new Markdown file in src/content/blog/ with a little frontmatter:

---
title: My new post
description: A one-line summary.
date: 2026-06-02
---

That’s it — it shows up on the blog automatically. Hard to beat for a personal site.
