If I want to write a site with vanilla #HTML / #CSS / #JS using #Astro as my #SSG are there any doc sources, projects, general setups, or tips I should know / look to for good reference? Seems like most of the things I see are about incorporating all the various frameworks that I have no interest in. I want to build a fairly simple blog and personal site. With minimal client side js. But I also want the benefits of an SSG especially when it comes to writing blog posts. Do you use or have you used Astro for a similar workflow? How do you like to set everything up?

@micahilbery I use it with great joy on ergaster.org
Astro is fairly straightforward, I would only recommend
- Make use of content collections
Make use of the Image component to get responsive images for free
- Install the rss extension and configure it to use full post content
- Install the site map extension
- Defining the Props interface can go a long way
- Use pnpm astro check (in a CI?) to catch mistakes
