Welcome to the new ripp.io. This site was rebuilt from scratch using Astro — a static site generator that ships zero JavaScript by default. The splash animation you saw on the landing page is a Svelte island, and everything else is pure HTML and CSS.
Why Astro?
The old site was Angular 12. It worked, but Angular is overkill for a personal site where 95% of the content is static. Astro lets me write content in MDX, use Svelte for the few interactive pieces, and ship fast static pages.
What’s Coming
Technical engineering content — architecture patterns, platform engineering, and agentic development practices. Stay tuned.
