Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
