Introduction

Ready to dive into the cozy world of Snø, my latest pet project? It’s not just a theme. it’s a vibe, a fusion of Astro’s cool framework with the smooth moves of Svelte.

So, what’s Snø all about? Picture this: simplicity meets sophistication, and web development gets a fresh coat of awesomeness. I built Snø mainly to share the joy of tinkering with Astro and see what happens when Svelte joins the party.

Unveiling Snø

Snø, a Norwegian word for snow, was selected as the theme’s title to capture the essence of purity and simplicity. Influenced by the minimalist design movement and a deep appreciation for the Norwegian landscape, I aimed to infuse a distinctive combination of simplicity and natural beauty into the digital realm.
