Dumping Nuxt for Astro

1/1/2022

Coming from Vue the idea of Nuxt was great. I could statically render my site so search engines could find it. It would load fast and I could use components on repetitive parts of the page. Best of all I could use my vue skills and not start from scratch with a new framework. I spend a lot of time making my screenshots look nice and the idea of putting this in a component to reuse and save my time was very alluring.

Nuxt was great but adding custom meta tags to each page seemed impossible, a deal breaker for me so i went in search of something else. That something else was Astro. While not at version one and still incomplete it did solve my immediate problem (and create a few news ones).

Next. A blog post on adding dynamic class names in Astro.
