Hello World!

#Hello World!

Welcome to my personal website! This is my first post so I'm going to be pretty brief. I have some big plans for this site, and here they are:

• Portfolio page with all my projects (coming soon)
• Detailed travel blog integrated into flight page (coming soon)
• Other cool stuff

But for now, here is my site! All this code is public on Github, so if you like the style of my site, feel free to just clone the repo and run it! Speaking of running it, let me talk a bit about how the site is deployed.

Site Details

I wanted the site to be as quick as possible to load. So I'm using Astro, with Turso as a cloud db, and Cloudflare workers for hosting. For flight details I'm using mapbox for the map (mapbox is absolutely awesome), and aviation stack for flight details. Because flight details only need to be fetched once, which is when the admin is creating a flight entry from the admin panel, it works quite well with no cost. I'm also using Lucide for icons which I only mention because I also discovered Lucide while working on a different project recently, and let me say, it is also amazing.
