Astro was the decision that paid off most. Pages come out static and load almost instantly, yet the visualizations stay interactive where it matters, which is usually the exact point where you end up choosing between speed and interaction. The other thing that changed day to day was the CMS: people stopped writing to me to ask for a one-line text change.

A publishing site built with Astro, which builds the pages ahead of time so an article opens without waiting on anything. Content is written in MDX and the team edits it from a CMS, so publishing stopped going through a developer. Articles can carry visualizations built with D3, which is what separates a blog about data from a blog that only talks about data.
