Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
