  • astro

    The web framework for content-driven websites. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

  • Definitely check out astro.build. Built my portfolio with it and its incredible.

  • nuxt

    The Intuitive Vue Framework.

  • My personal choice is Nuxt. Just like Astro, Nuxt has MDX, allowing you to write markdown and add components to it. You can specify how each path indiviually should be rendered (static, server-side rendering, ...) so if you want to add an admin panel in the future that would be a great fit. But as others have mentioned, you might want to look for a CMS for managing content. A git based CMS works well with MDX and can be free (e.g. Netlify CMS). The Nuxt team is currently working on their own git based CMS Nuxt Studio which looks very promising. It's not open yet but selected people should get access soon.

  • SurveyJS
