Styling the landing page was one of my favorite parts of building Swapy, all thanks to Tailwind CSS for making styling such an enjoyable task. I didn't have to think too much about choosing colors and font sizes because the predefined ones were just perfect. Among all the great features Tailwind CSS provides, the thing I love the most is building responsive designs. Fixing styles for Swapy's landing page on different screen sizes took just a few seconds.

I've used many content-driven web frameworks, but Astro is the one that hits the sweet spot for me. Not only is it very easy to use, but it also includes everything I need to create a blog or a landing page. The fact that it supports all frameworks and tools with just a few CLI commands is absolutely fantastic! When I wanted to create the landing page for Swapy, Astro was the only option that came to mind, and I absolutely don't regret it.

Before Vite, using a build tool was my least favorite part of building anything. But now, whenever I want to build something, I just use Vite. Vite makes things very easy and intuitive. When I was building Swapy, I needed to test a few frontend frameworks. With Vite, it was as simple as adding the framework plugin, and it just worked. To make Swapy accessible to others, I needed to compile TypeScript and build it as both an ES module and a UMD module. With Vite, I just had to add a few lines of code, and it worked perfectly.
