Astro Blog built for Speed ⚡️
Apollo is a tiny blog built with Astro. The goal is to have a small tiny bundle size, near zero javascript, and an elegant design. The blogs are stored as markdown files in the repository itself.
- Astro - Static site generator.
- Tailwind CSS - CSS framework.
- Vercel - Hosting platform.
- TypeScript - Type-safe JavaScript.
This uses Astro content collections API to manage the blog articles. The articles are stored in as markdown in src/content/blog. There is frontmatter, but that is taken care of by Astro.
There are two types of SSG routes created:
| Route | Description |
|---|---|
/[number] |
Paginated list of articles (12 per page). / is the same as /1. |
/[slug] |
Individual article page. |
It uses Astro's RSS integration to generate an RSS feed for the blog.
Experimental API for fonts is used to load fonts from Google Fonts. It has optimizedFallbacks disabled, because it was switching fonts after load which was jarring.
