Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
