> I absolutely love Astro. Used it already for several websites and the development speed is really great. Top level await and markdown working perfectly out of the box. This website (https://angelika-mueller.de/) was built in around 4 hours with dynamic content.

> Astro is a killer new static site generator that also is able to handle just about any kind of site, but shines with plain HTML sites.  You can add on Svelte, React, Markdown and more!
