Welcome to my new blog!

This is my first post on my new Astro blog, deployed to Cloudflare Pages.

Astro is an amazing framework for building content-focused websites. It ships zero JavaScript to the client by default, which makes it incredibly fast.

Why Cloudflare Pages?

Cloudflare Pages is a JAMstack platform for frontend developers to collaborate and deploy websites. It integrates perfectly with Astro through the @astrojs/cloudflare adapter.

Here are some benefits:

• Global Edge Network: Your site is served from Cloudflare’s massive global network.
• Free SSL: Automatic HTTPS for your custom domains.
• Unlimited Bandwidth: No surprise bills for traffic spikes.
• Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Support for dynamic routes and API endpoints.

Code Example

Here’s a quick example of a React component you could use in Astro:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  
  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
      Clicked {count} times
    </button>
  );
}

And you can embed it in your MDX files or Astro pages using the client:load directive to hydrate it on the client!
