Building a Minimalist Blog with Astro & Vue

How I built this blog using the latest web technologies. A deep dive into Astro islands architecture and TailwindCSS styling.

Introduction

Welcome to my new blog! I decided to build this site using Astro because of its incredible performance and flexibility.

Why Astro?

Astro allows me to use my favorite framework, Vue.js, for interactive components while shipping zero JavaScript for static content. This “Islands Architecture” is a game changer.

The Stack

  • Astro: The static site generator.
  • Vue 3: For interactive widgets like the clock and music player.
  • TailwindCSS: For rapid, utility-first styling.

Code Snippet Example

Here is how I configured the Tailwind theme:

@theme {
  --color-primary: #8FBC8F;
  --color-secondary: #F5F5DC;
}

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more updates!
