I recently found myself with some free time on my hands, so I decided to rewrite my website using Astro. Why did I choose Astro?
Astro
Astro builds fast content sites, powerful web applications, dynamic server APIs, and everything in-between.

Starlight 🌟 Build documentation sites with Astro
Starlight helps you build beautiful, high-performance documentation websites with Astro.

Skylight
Want to actually see the people you follow? Done. Want to decide what shows up in your feed, and what doesn't? Easy. A social app where your interests come first.
Why I'm betting on ATProto (and why you should, too)
Social media was supposed to connect us, but most of it has turned into ads, division, and loneliness. I'm betting on ATProto as a way to fix that, and not just for developers. Whether you're a scientist, journalist, or just someone who wants the internet to feel human again, I think ATProto matters for you too.
