Petko (Pete) Pavlovski. Senior Rust engineer, Sofia.
Static site, one page, no framework at runtime. Built with Astro, deployed on Vercel,
apex www.cargopete.com.
Built to the cargopete-style house
skill. That means the palette is mandated rather than chosen:
src/styles/global.css carries the skill's reference/tokens.css verbatim between
two MANDATED markers. Edit those tokens in the skill and re-copy them here -
never in this repo - so every site in the house style stays identical.
Texture is flat: no gradients, no shadows, hairline borders and whitespace doing the structural work. Dark by default with a light theme that is a faithful inversion.
The terminal transcript in the hero is real output, run on 21 August 2026. Both commands can be pasted into a shell and reproduced. If the numbers drift, rerun them and update the page rather than rounding.
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:4321
npm run build # -> dist/
npm run check # Astro types and contentOr with yatr: yatr dev, yatr build, yatr ci.
Fonts are self-hosted, subset with fonttools to the glyphs the page uses. Together
they are 35KB, which is most of the page weight. Do not add a font CDN.
The favicon set is drawn, not imported. public/favicon.svg is the source of truth;
scripts/make-favicon.py reproduces the same geometry as PNG and ICO with no
dependencies beyond the standard library. Change both together, then run
yatr favicon.
| Before (Next.js) | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer | 276 KB | 43 KB |
| Requests | 11 | 3 |
| Hosts | 1 | 1 |
| Runtime JS | React + framer-motion + lucide | 34 lines, inline |
Zero third-party requests is a rule, not a target. No analytics, no tag manager, no font CDN.
Vercel auto-detects Astro: build npm run build, output dist/. Pushes to main
deploy. vercel.json sets the security headers and a one-year immutable cache on
/fonts/*.
