GitHub Repository Live Demo

Markdown-powered blog engine with dynamic routing and clean design.

Goals and Motivation

I built this to explore Astro’s capabilities as a content-focused static site generator. It serves as a minimal and performant blogging solution without relying on external CMS tools.

Key Features

  • ✨ Dynamic route generation using Astro’s content collections
  • 📦 Posts written in Markdown and validated through schemas
  • 🎨 Styled using global CSS and modular layout components
  • 🧪 Easily extensible with pagination and tags

Lessons Learned

Integrating frontmatter schema taught me to think more deeply about content modeling. Astro’s file-based routing made development intuitive, and the build-time rendering gave me fine control over the final HTML structure.
