Welcome to JD Blog

Introduction

Welcome to JD Blog
This site was created as a personal and technical space to document learnings, share experiences, and publish content related to modern web development.

JD Blog is not just a blog, it’s also:

• an ideas lab
• a reusable template
• a reference point for content-based projects

What is JD Blog?

JD Blog is a personal blog built with Astro, focused on simplicity, performance, and full control over content.

The main goal of the project is to show that it’s possible to build a blog that is:

• fast
• easy to maintain
• well structured
• without relying on large client-side frameworks

Why Astro?

Astro was chosen as the project’s foundation for several reasons:

Performance by Default

• Static rendering at build time
• Minimal JavaScript submission
• Excellent Core Web Vitals score

Focus on Content

• Native support for Markdown and MDX
• Typed Content Collections
• Simple and predictable routing

Total Flexibility

• Integration with Tailwind CSS
• Ability to use Preact, React, or other frameworks only when necessary
• Scalable architecture without unnecessary complexity

What Kind of Content Will You Find?

The JD Blog is primarily focused on technical content, though not exclusively.

Some examples:

• Articles about Astro and modern frontend development
• Conceptual explanations of JavaScript
• Documentation and step-by-step guides
• Architectural decisions
• Real-world project lessons learned

The idea is to prioritize clarity and depth, avoiding superficial content.

The Blog as a Template

One of the central goals of JD Blog is to also function as a reusable template.

The project is designed so that you can:

• clone the repository
• change the content
• adapt the design
• extend functionalities

without having to rewrite the entire base.

That’s why emphasis is placed on:

• reusable components
• clear layouts
• separation between content and presentation
