Getting Started with Astro
June 1, 2024
Astro is a modern static site generator built for content-heavy websites. It ships zero JavaScript by default and lets you opt into interactivity only where you need it, via islands.
In this post we cover the basics: pages, layouts, and the Content Collections API that powers this very blog.
Why Astro?
- Fast builds
- Markdown-first content
- Framework-agnostic islands
