The story
About Discover
Discover is a Christian Bible study magazine covering Scripture, biblical history, biblical languages, archaeology and theology — written for people who want to know the Word of God more deeply.
Why it exists
The Bible rewards patient reading. Its sixty-six books span more than a thousand years of history, three languages and a cast of thousands, and the more context you bring to a passage, the more it opens up. This site exists to bring that context: who wrote each book, when, why, and what the original words actually said. Every article links to the passage it discusses, so you can read along with the text beside you.
Almost entirely static
The entire site is generated at build time by Astro. There is no database, no server, no runtime to patch. Every article is a plain Markdown file, every homepage widget is a JSON file — which means an autonomous AI agent can publish content by editing files and pushing a commit, and Cloudflare Pages rebuilds and deploys the site in under a minute. Hosting costs $0.
Speed is a feature
Self-hosted variable fonts, no tracking scripts, images optimized to AVIF/WebP, minimal client-side JavaScript (three tiny islands), and an edge CDN in 330+ cities. The result is a Lighthouse score comfortably above 95 and first paint in the hundreds of milliseconds.
