| Astro is fantastic. I initially used NextJS with MDX, and something simple like using relative markdown links to images was utterly impossible. I remember going down a day long rabbit hole to understand why, and it boiled down to content layer, MDX and NextJS using different, incompatible module loaders, bundlers or transpilers of some kind[1][2][3]. Ridiculous. And don’t get me started on the image component. In the end, Astro just works. No need for React (unless you want it), it’s simple, fast and produces a static site you can use without JavaScript. Data fetching is also utterly trivial, so you can have a fully static site with “live” data pulled in at compile time. I recommend it to anyone with frontend fatigue. 1. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63957018/how-to-use-imag... 2. https://mmazzarolo.com/blog/2023-07-30-nextjs-mdx-image-sour... 3. https://github.com/contentlayerdev/contentlayer/issues/11 |
