I LOVE ASTRO
Astro is now my framework of choice. I am also creating templates for use but still a bit behind where yours is.
I could see Astro becoming the framework of choice in the near future.

Yes!! Astro FTW.
I also thinking the same.
Now, its the best static site generator. I will believe its SSR feature will be a contender for next.js in the near future

I have replaced all my PHP with their SSR using express.js. I'm working on converting a site right now.

how does it work?
You can just use Astro SSR right?

Astro SSR has to have some sort of middleware such as node or netlify to handle the request. It's in the SSR docs. I use a server.js entry point and that has Astro route handlers in it. I also use separate middlewares in the /src/middleware folder to handle auth and verifications.

Thank you for the template. Template looks clean and simple.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Astro in terms of static site generation. I've used Gatsby before which is good but it has horrible mobile LightHouse scores. The desktop scores are really good.

For Astro, I've done LightHouse tests on multiple sites and it has very high scores on both mobile & desktop...I wonder why Gatsby lacks in that. Have you used Gatsby before?

Also Cloudflare Pages is awesome, I don't know how I didn't know about it before. It's great for hosting front-end projects, maybe even full stack if you use Workers.

I havent use Gatsby before.. but its probably how it handle the javascript overhead. A lot of factors involved though.

Thanks a lot for this. Will be very useful for my portfolio building. I looked through some posts and found an existing site called Devencyclopedia.dev that uses ASTRO as well.

I'm a react developer that uses mostly Next.js in work, but I'm looking forward to this in personal development
