Frequently Asked Questions

You are an Angular developer right? Why didn’t you create this guide with Angular?

Section titled “You are an Angular developer right? Why didn’t you create this guide with Angular?”

Yes, I am a developer who uses (and loves) Angular on the daily bases. I chose to create this guide using Astro/Starlight because it allows me to focus on the content without worrying about the complexities of Angular development. Astro is a static site generator that is fast and efficient, making it ideal for documentation.

If it makes you feel better, my personal website is built with Angular.

Why did you choose to use Astro/Starlight for this guide?

Section titled “Why did you choose to use Astro/Starlight for this guide?”

I had heard Starlight in the past and I’ve been curious about it, so I gave it a try. It took me like 30 minutes to set up build, GitHub action and deploy my website to GitHub pages. So I thought that was a great experience. And so far, I haven’t encountered any limitations on anything that I’ve been doing. It’s great!.

What is your end goal with this guide?

Section titled “What is your end goal with this guide?”

My end goal with making this guide, is to be able to communicate my thoughts and technical knowledge effectively. I want to be able to feel more competent when I communicate on the daily basis. So this is a good outlet and testing for it. Additionally, if this can help the community in any way, even better.

Are you using any tracking software?

Section titled “Are you using any tracking software?”

I am using Umami to track the usage of this guide. Umami is a privacy-focused analytics tool that allows me to see how many people are using the guide, which pages are most popular, and other basic usage statistics.

Are you or will you monetize this guide?

Section titled “Are you or will you monetize this guide?”

As of now, I am not monetizing this guide nor do I plan to directly monetize this guide.

How do you choose the topics for this guide?

Section titled “How do you choose the topics for this guide?”

It is funny, I actually choose topics only based on like what I’m interested in or what I’m currently passionate about. So topics are going to be sporadic and maybe not completely coherent as a complete guide, but it is the way that I like to work.

How can I stay updated with new content?

Section titled “How can I stay updated with new content?”

You can stay updated with new content in several ways:

  1. RSS Feed: Subscribe to our RSS feed to get notified when new content is published
  2. GitHub: Watch the GitHub repository for updates
  3. Social Media: Follow me on LinkedIn or Medium

The RSS feed includes all published articles with their categories and publication dates, making it easy to track what’s new.

Section titled “Learn More with AI”
I want to learn about RSS feeds in Astro projects. Can you explain how RSS feeds work, how to implement them in Astro/Starlight, and what are the benefits of providing RSS feeds for documentation sites? Include practical examples of RSS feed consumption and best practices for RSS content.
