Astro is a web framework that sends plain HTML to the browser and adds JavaScript only to the few parts of a page that need it. This post explains how its engine works, the ideas behind it, and how it compares to Next.js, Gatsby, Eleventy, Hugo and the others.
A one-line-per-concept tour of Next.js — the whole mental model at a glance, from routing to rendering to deployment, with no fluff.
Every browser ships with a "private" or "incognito" mode, and most people have a fuzzy sense that it's "the one that doesn't save history." That's true, but it undersells what's happening and oversells the privacy. Here's what actually changes when you open a private tab, and — just as important — what doesn't.
Vue.js looks like a big framework, but day-to-day work leans on a handful of ideas: reactive data, a template that shows it, a few special attributes, computed values, and components that talk through props and events. This post walks through those ideas one at a time with a single small example, so you can read real Vue code by the end.
