My personal website is written with Astro. I love it! Admittedly I'm still a little trigger-happy with my JS usage, but overall the ability to write templated pages and utilize islands that don't require big dependencies is the most friendly web development experience I've had.

Your website isn't loading for me.
Give it another shot. Azure static web apps are no bueno when it comes to reliable hosting...
The second shot didn't go well :-)

Edit: Ah, finally, it loaded after about 30 seconds.

Edit 2: Fairly neat.

From what I understand static web apps have a 'cold start' where if they haven't been touched in so long they get killed. I need to just add a function app that pings it periodically so it never goes down.

Thank you! Appreciate you sticking around and trying it again :) I am fairly proud of it, even in its simplicity.

neither for me
Try again, I had to adjust my hosting plan.
