I wanted to learn more about Astro and wanted to take advantage of it’s fast by default philosophy.
Over the years I’ve learned how to work with JavaScript frameworks fairly quickly, and it seems like a new one pops up every week. Having the ability to make this site’s components a blend of familiar and new frameworks was a big learning opportunity, so Astro was a no brainer.
As of today, the reactive components on this site are primarily built with Svelte.
