🙌 Support Clownware
Clownware's first project is a free, MIT‑licensed Astro Performance Starter Template that helps solo devs and small teams ship blazing‑fast, zero‑JS sites with built‑in AI‑assisted workflows.
Your sponsorship keeps the lights on—and the docs, CI scripts, design tokens, and prompt libraries evolving.
No paywall—ever. Sponsorship simply accelerates what’s already open‐source and free.
About the Project
- Framework: Astro v5.x + Tailwind CSS v3.4
- Zero JS by default: islands hydrate only when needed (
client:visible) - Design tokens: WCAG‑AA compliant, dark‑mode ready
- Docs: Starlight‑powered, version‑injected, AI‑parseable MDX
- CI: Biome, Lighthouse CI, automated image optimization
Built for AI‑assisted development—every PRD, ADR, and design principle lives in‑repo so your IDE agent always has context.
About Me
I’m Chris Pezza — a product‑designer‑turned‑developer obsessed with blazing‑fast performance and AI‑native workflows. After scaling growth and product at multiple startups, I devoted my nights and weekends to open‑source tooling that compresses the gap between idea and production. When I’m not chasing sub‑2‑second TTI scores, you’ll find me reverse‑engineering UX flows, brewing specialty coffee, or conductin prompt‑engineering experiments. Clownware is my playground for sharing those learnings with the community and proving that lean, lovable software can also be lightning‑fast.
