Resources
Tools, repositories, products and services with enough context to decide whether the next click is worth your time.
Web Framework
Astro
A content-focused web framework that works especially well when most pages should ship as HTML first and add client-side JavaScript only where needed.
Developer Tools
Minted Directory Astro
A lightweight Astro + Tailwind directory starter that is useful as a reference for static-first listing pages, tags and content loading.
UI System
Tailwind CSS
A utility-first styling system that makes it practical to build one responsive interface instead of maintaining separate mobile and desktop versions.
Infrastructure
Cloudflare Workers
An edge runtime that can host lightweight server logic close to the static site when the project eventually needs redirects, APIs, auth or event collection.
Automation
n8n
A workflow automation platform that can connect content intake, enrichment, review queues and publishing without hard-coding every integration into the main website.
Analytics
Plausible Analytics
A lightweight analytics option for understanding traffic and page performance without turning the content experience into an ad-tech style tracking stack.
UI Components
shadcn/ui
A practical reference for polished interface patterns when you want component code you can own and adapt rather than a black-box design system.
Developer Workflow
GitHub Actions
A straightforward CI layer for checking builds, validating content and deploying automatically once the project is ready to move beyond local development.
Content Management
Directus
A headless data platform worth considering later if the editorial workflow grows beyond Markdown and needs a structured admin interface for non-developers.
Frontend Polish
Motion
A small animation library that can add deliberate interface feedback later without turning every page into a heavy client-side experience.
