Hello World: Why This Site Runs on Astro

This is a sample post used to verify the content model, bilingual routing and code blocks. It will be replaced before launch.

Why Astro

A content site barely needs a client-side framework runtime. Astro ships plain HTML by default and loads interactivity only where needed.

Zero JS by default

Post pages only ship a tiny script for the table-of-contents highlight.

How translations pair up

Both versions share a filename, e.g. zh-tw/hello-world.mdx and en/hello-world.mdx.

export function getLocalizedPath(path: string, lang: Lang): string {
  const clean = `/${path.replace(/^\/+/, '')}`;
  return lang === defaultLang ? clean : `/${lang}${clean}`; // no prefix for the default language
}

What changed

const site = 'https://example.pages.dev';
const site = profile.site.url;

Wrapping up

New posts are created with npm run new:post -- <slug>.
