- Performant static site for hosting webcomics
- Git-based CMS to easily change data
- Simple and accessible design
- Cool theme picker
I made this website using a static site generator, Astro, because it is perfect for content-focused websites like this for increases performance and pleasant DX. The only JS used is for the theme picker.
I designed the webite to be simple, emulating the simple mind of Jeb, our eponymous main character.
And the simplicity of use and focus on accessibility also leads to better UX.
Kepping in this theme, I wanted the website to be easily updated, so I opted for a git-based CMS, which would just store the images in the repo. All the images are optimized during the build process.
| The Good | The Bad | The Ugly |
|---|---|---|
| Performance from SSG | Too much time spent on what is the best CMS | |
| Back to Vanilla CSS | Did not have a good time with Decap CMS | |
| Accessibility | URL issues in prod | |
| Theme Picker |

You can add new comics or other data by accessing the CMS in dev mode. Start up dev mode then append /keystatic to the home url, eg. http://127.0.0.1:4321/.
The default storage mode is local, but this can be changed to github to allow for others with write permission to the repo to change data.
export default config({
storage: {
kind: 'github',
}
})For an easier option for non-tecnical clients, one can change the storage mode to cloud.
You can easily change the structure of the data by going to keystatic.config.ts and modifying what you would like.
I am hosting this on Cloudflare Pages, so you can get rid of the adapter in astro.config.mjs if you hosted elsewhere.
