i moved my personal site onto a static site generator. i'm not really huge on like, making my own sites and stuff, i just self-host everything possible, but this site is where i well, list all those self-hosted sites. and stuff about me. and it was getting annoying manually updating a nav bar so i figured it was time.
i chose astro because my fancoder discord friends love it, and it's wonderful to work with, even as much as i hate javascript. so convenient, easy to pick up (at least at my skill level), and gets the job done while being very powerful. i managed to set up a now page with a content collection so i can preserve previous updates. that's pretty cool.
Your site looks so nice!! I can't wait to learn how to use astro once I have the brain power to climb the learning curve. Your now page is so nice too!
