Note #6

I saw some interesting statistics published by Vaihe regarding Astro and the usage of various tools and frameworks with it.

As I’ve been working on data visualisation components recently, and given my site is also written in Astro (with some Preact/React in places), I thought it would be fun to visualise some of these statistics about Astro using Astro. One of the components I’ve been working on is a stacked value chart, which I’m using here.

<ProseIsland>
<ActivityChart
options={{
format: 'percent',
size: 'medium'
}}
data={[
{ label: 'With React', value: 0.258, color: '#009d88' },
{ label: 'Without React', value: 0.742, color: '#00bf63' },
]} />
</ProseIsland>
