Hello World

Posted on Thursday, 26 June 2025

This is the start of my new blog. This is the third time I’ve made one, the first time I used React on its own, realized that was a bad for SEO because of the amount of JS being sent to the frontend so I switched to Next.JS to get some of that sweet sweet SSR. Next.JS is great but it always felt a bit overkill for a basic blog so I switched over to Astro and so far so good. Really simple project structure and sending markdown files to the client is nice and easy. I can also use React components which will help me in the future if I ever want to add any interactivity to this site.
