Astro

A site builder that ships static HTML by default and hydrates only the components that need to be interactive. This site runs on it, which is why most pages here arrive as finished HTML, with JavaScript only for the parts that need it.

This website, jws.dev, is my first big experiment with Astro, which I use to build content-rich sites that combine static delivery with focused interactive components.

Experience highlights

• On jws.dev, Astro handles routing, content generation, and static builds in English and Spanish.
• Use framework islands where interactivity adds value while keeping most pages lightweight.
