Building a Modern Portfolio with Astro 6
Published on May 18, 2026
Welcome to my first blog post! In this article, I’ll walk you through the process of building this portfolio using Astro 6, Tailwind CSS, and React.
Why Astro?
Astro has become my go-to framework for content-heavy websites because of its unique “islands” architecture. It allows me to ship zero JavaScript by default, which is perfect for a portfolio or blog.
// Example of a simple Astro component
---
const { title } = Astro.props;
---
<h1>{title}</h1>
The New Content Loader
In Astro 6, the way we handle content has evolved. We now use the glob loader in src/content.config.ts, which is more flexible and performant.
