About Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a developer blog documenting the design and build of Invert — a database-less, adapter-driven content presentation layer built on Astro.

The name

Dragonfly is an aerial hammock position. From standing, you extend one leg back behind you — an arabesque line — then hook that leg up and around the pole, landing in an asymmetrical hold: one leg high on the fabric, the other long beneath you. It's a transitional shape. You can flow from dragonfly into an inversion, drop into a leg hitch, or find your way to something else entirely. It's a place you pass through on the way to somewhere harder.

Invert — the framework — is named after the inversion itself. Dragonfly is where you go before you get there.

What you'll find here

Meta
