Astro: Build Content Sites That Don't Ship JavaScript by Default
A framework that treats your blog, docs, or marketing site as a first-class citizen—and proves you don't need a heavy JS runtime to make it work.
withastro/astro ↗Astro flips the script on how modern web frameworks think about content. Instead of shipping a React or Vue app to the browser, Astro renders your pages to static HTML at build time, then only adds JavaScript where you actually need it (like a comment form or interactive chart). The payoff: your site loads faster, ranks better in search, and costs less to host. You write in familiar syntax—React components, Markdown, whatever—but the final product is lean. Islands architecture lets you drop in interactive components without bloating the whole page. It's built for founders shipping marketing sites, documentation, blogs, and portfolios where speed and SEO matter more than real-time interactivity.

Astro: Ship Fast, Ship Light
Content sites shouldn't need heavy JavaScript. Astro renders to static HTML by default, adds interactivity only where needed, and ships sites that load in milliseconds. Good for founders building blogs, docs, and marketing sites who want SEO + speed without the overhead.
Most frameworks ship JavaScript by default. Astro ships HTML. Islands architecture means you only load JS for the parts that need it. Result: faster sites, better SEO, cheaper hosting. Worth a look if you're building content-heavy products. https://github.com/withastro/astro
