Overview

Astro's islands model lets the marketing surface stay static and fast while the editor surface ships the React it actually needs. MDX gives writers components without leaving Markdown.

Stack: Astro, MDX, TypeScript, Tailwind, content collections with Zod schemas, full-text search via a build-time index, deployed on Netlify.

Highlights
  • Islands architecture: static where it matters, interactive where it has to be.
  • Typed content collections with schema validation at build time.
  • Lighthouse 100s across the public surface, no compromises.
