I looked at themes for 11ty.dev and astro and find that most distract from the actual content and focus too much on "boilerplate design". The examples for astro are mostly the standard corporate-stuff-nice-slogans-but-no-content - if I see such websites, I usually close tabs immediately.
mkdocs, on the other hand, is made with a 100% focus on content, which is why I selected mkdocs for my blog. But different users will have different needs and there are many different blog types out there, so :thumbsup:
- FireInsight 3y agoIf you want the focus to be only content, you probably don't need a template. Templates often try to be flashy, but you can usually cut out the bloat. Some off-the-shelf offerings might have more desirable results out of the box, but I like Astro because I want to build the site myself.
- Helmut10001 3y agoYes, I agree. There is still need for structure & organization, here mkdocs hat superior extended Markdown formatting Syntax (super fences, sane lists, code highlights etc.), all of that makes fast reading and filtering of content a lot easier. None of the other static site generators come close for this part of functionality. Anyway, I completely understand your points, this is not meant to be ranting at astro!
