Thanks. There are many static site generators around. Is there something that makes Astro special or different? What is its unique selling point?

- threatofrain 3y agoAstro also does SSR. I'd say that Astro is special in the ecosystem because (1) they went all-in on MPA and (2) they support many component frameworks.
- mplewis 3y agoAstro is really good at rendering JS on the server out of the box, while letting you quickly fall back to dynamic content as needed.
- steveklabnik 3y agoI chose Astro for my personal website because these things all aligned with my thinking in this space and desires for a tool: https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/why-astro/ https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/why-astro/
- _puk 3y agoA big thing is support for island architecture [0]. Essentially it only pulls in the JavaScript it needs to make an element interactive; you can mix frameworks on the same page, and it's very fast. https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/ https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/
