Personal website and blog of Robert Hartings — Software Engineer at itestra GmbH.

Built with Astro and Tailwind CSS, deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

Stack

• Framework: Astro 5 (static output)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS + @tailwindcss/typography
• Fonts: Bricolage Grotesque, JetBrains Mono (Google Fonts)
• Deployment: Cloudflare Pages (direct integration)

Development

npm run dev      # Start dev server at http://localhost:4321
npm run build    # Build for production
npm run preview  # Preview production build

Note: node_modules/.bin/ symlinks do not work when the project is mounted from a Windows (NTFS) filesystem into a Linux environment. The npm scripts are configured to call the Astro binary directly via node to work around this.
