Site rewritten with Astro

I used to run my site using Gatsby and liked a lot about how it worked, but there are a few things that are annoying about it and it now seems to be a little bit abandoned as a standalone/self-hosted solution as it’s now moved/moving to a cloud-based solution.

Astro offers a lot of what I like about Gatsby, but without any of the annoyances, that include:

  • long build times for processing images (that only increases when adding more images)
  • the GraphQL-reliant setup meant overly complex page coding (for my use-case anyway)
