Overview

A fan website for Call of Duty Zombies players, built for speed — users browse it on a phone or second monitor while actively playing, so every millisecond matters. Astro's static-first architecture keeps pages as plain HTML by default, hydrating React only where interactivity is needed. The centerpiece is the Kronorium: a pan, drag, and zoom lore timeline built with React Flow. It maps the full CoD Zombies narrative across every map, with events rendered as custom nodes and color-coded by story thread (Aether in gold, Chaos in crimson). Directional edges let fans trace exactly how the two storylines branch and converge across decades of in-game lore. The Map Guides section provides fast-loading, mobile-friendly references for each map — easter egg steps, buildable parts, and key locations — so players can navigate without leaving their game.

Implementation

// production excerpt
astro.config.ts
// Static-first + a locked-down CSP. React hydrates only on interactive islands.
export default defineConfig({
  output: "static",
  integrations: [react(), tailwind()],
  vite: {
    plugins: [{
      name: "security-headers",
      configureServer(server) {
        server.middlewares.use((_req, res, next) => {
          res.setHeader(
            "Content-Security-Policy",
            "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'self'; " +
            "frame-ancestors 'none'; base-uri 'self'",
          );
          res.setHeader("X-Frame-Options", "DENY");
          res.setHeader("Referrer-Policy", "no-referrer");
          next();
        });
      },
    }],
  },
});

Static-first output with a locked-down CSP — React hydrates only where it must.
