Building Modern Web Apps with Astro
Astro has quickly become one of my favorite frameworks for building content-focused websites. In this post, I’ll share why I think Astro is an excellent choice for modern web development.
Why Astro?
1. Island Architecture
Astro’s island architecture allows you to build interactive UI components that hydrate independently. This means your page loads faster because JavaScript is only sent where it’s needed.
2. Zero JS by Default
By default, Astro ships zero JavaScript to the client. This is a game-changer for performance-focused websites.
3. Component Flexibility
Astro supports React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and more. You can use whichever framework you prefer for your interactive components.
