Welcome to Astro Devblog
Before deploying to Netlify, generate a CockroachDB serverless database and copy the connection string.
For a more detailed set of instructions, see this blog post.
Astro devblog has several benefits for use as a developer blog.
- Completely serverless (no need to pay for hosting with awesome tools like Netlify)
- Automatically post to Medium and Dev.to, two blogging platforms often used by developers.
- Extensibility - I have done nothing fancy with this template. If you want to change something, it shoudn't be too difficult to do so.
- Static - Astro ✨ships zero JavaScript by default✨ which means that Astro Devblog is 🔥blazingly fast🔥.
I'm done actively contributing to this template (unless I decide otherwise), but if you see something that can be improved, feel free to submit a PR. Three things that come to mind:
- Image optimizations
- Improved security (encrypt API tokens in db)
- Improve the UI/styling
