Introducing the Domnr blog

Why we built a fast, crawlable public surface with Astro — and what you can expect to read here.

Welcome to the Domnr blog. This is the first post on our new public surface — a fast, static, crawlable home for everything a logged-out visitor or a search engine should see.

Why a separate marketing surface

The Domnr product app is a client-rendered single-page app. That’s the right tool for a stateful dashboard, but it’s invisible to crawlers by default — which defeats the purpose of a blog. Rather than retrofit server rendering onto the dashboard, we built a dedicated Astro app for the public surface.

That gives us crawlable HTML with near-zero JavaScript, typed MDX content, and built-in sitemap and RSS — the foundations the rest of our SEO work builds on.

What to expect

  • Guides on domain portfolio management, DNS, SSL, and uptime monitoring.
  • Product updates as we ship.
  • Deep dives on the infrastructure behind domain monitoring.

This post exists mostly to prove the setup end to end: content collection, MDX rendering, RSS, sitemap inclusion, and Article structured data. If you’re reading it on the live site, all of that is working.
