πŸ›  Technologies Behind the Project

The FaithFuel platform was built using a modern Jamstack architecture optimized for performance, scalability, and content-first publishing:

  • Astro – Powers the static site generation (SSG) pipeline for blazing-fast, SEO-optimized pages with minimal JavaScript.
  • Preact – Provides lightweight reactive UI components (signals) for interactive elements without the React bundle overhead.
  • TypeScript – Enforces strong typing across the codebase for safer, more maintainable code.
  • TailwindCSS v4 – Delivers a clean, responsive, and utility-first design system for a polished faith-inspired aesthetic.
  • MDX – Enables rich, component-enhanced content authoring for devotional blog posts.
  • Cloudflare Pages – Hosts the site on a global CDN with zero cold starts and automatic deployments via Wrangler.
  • Pages CMS – Provides a Git-based content management interface for managing blog posts and product data without a traditional backend.
