  • What it is:
  • Why we’re excited about it:
    • Server Side JS frameworks, combine Svelte, React, Vue as needed in one component that is an SFC using markdown style meta data.
    • Scoped CSS by default (a la Svelte). Sass out of the box.
    • Collections import for .md files
// pages/blog.astro --- import PostPreview from '../components/PostPreview.astro'; const blogPosts = import.meta.collections('./post/*.md'); --- Blog Posts {blogPosts.map((post) => ( )}

  • What it is:
    • Framework-agnostic
    • API routes
    • Pages (frontend, optional hydration)
    • Adapter for Node, static, Vercel, cf worker, etc. Inspired by SvelteKit.
