What is Astrodon?

Astrodon is a fast, modern static‑site generator for Deno that focuses on Markdown-first content creation.

• Markdown‑first: Write pages in plain .md
• Optimized assets: Automatic WebP conversion and caching
• Simple usage: build() to generate, serve() to host

Markdown Showcase

Welcome to the comprehensive Astrodon demo page! This showcases all the different markdown features available in Astrodon.

Text Formatting

Let's start with bold text and italic text. We can also use bold italic for emphasis.

Strikethrough text shows deleted content, while inline code highlights technical terms.

Subheadings and Lists

Here's an unordered list:

• First item
• Second item with bold text
• Third item with italic text
• Fourth item with code

And an ordered list:

1. First numbered item
2. Second numbered item
3. Third numbered item
1. Nested item
2. Another nested item

Code Blocks

TypeScript Example

import { serve } from "jsr:@std/http/server";

const handler = async (req: Request): Promise<Response> => {
  const currentTime = new Date().toISOString();
  return new Response(`Current time: ${currentTime}`, {
    headers: { "content-type": "text/plain" },
  });
};

await serve(handler, { port: 8000 });

Tables

Links and Images

Here are some useful links:

• Deno Documentation
• Markdown Guide

Blockquotes

This is a simple blockquote. This is a blockquote with bold text and inline code.

This is a blockquote. If the content is long enough, and its really needed, it can span multiple lines.

Horizontal Rules

Task Lists

• Set up Deno project
• Create basic web server
• Add markdown support
• Implement WebSocket connections
• Add database integration

Definition Lists

Term 1

Definition 1 with bold text and code.

Term 2

Definition 2 with italic text.

Abbreviations

The HTML and CSS are used to style this page, while the API provides dynamic content.

Performance Benefits

• Fast startup times - Deno starts up quickly^[1]
• Type safety - TypeScript provides excellent developer experience
• Modern tooling - Built-in formatter, linter, and test runner
• Build-time caching - Static content for optimal performance

What's Next?

I'm excited to explore more advanced features like:

• WebSocket connections
• File system operations
• Database integrations
• Enhanced caching strategies
