Week 1 · How I built it

I built this site step by step (and migrated off no-code)

Week 1: the site you’re looking at. Astro + Claude Code + GitHub, deployed on Vercel. Truly bilingual, not auto-translate.

Por qué empecé por aquí / Why I started here

The most honest question for someone who says “I build” is: what about your own site? So the first Wanda Builds build is Wanda Builds itself. No trick: the site documents itself.

  • Astro, estático, rápido, ideal para contenido.
  • Claude Code + GitHub, el mismo flujo que enseño.
  • Vercel, deploy automático en cada push.

Dónde se rompió / Where it broke

My first version stored the language with localStorage. It worked locally but broke in some embedded browsers. I swapped it for a simple cookie. This is exactly the kind of “quiet failure” I’ll always document, because the version where everything went perfectly helps no one.
