Experimenting with SSG

Today I want to experiment with building this in Astro.

I had a lot of issues porting the project to Astro and spend a lot of time trying to fix random Tailwind and style errors, but it's working.

It takes 9 seconds to build 200 pages. I would have to trigger this build every time any article is updated.

Doesn't seem like this app is a good fit for Astro SSG, but it could work nonetheless. I won't be migrating it though, yet.

I wasted a full day on basically nothing. Got more comfortable with Astro - I guess that's something.

Had some other ideas, namely:

  • make the blog pages prettier. fix the markdown rendering of links, headings and stuff. Make the text bigger.
  • make the project sites better. Show images and stats.

But I ran out of time and energy.
