Welcome to Astro Weekly #115!
This week brings a major milestone for StudioCMS, plus deep dives into islands architecture, content collections, and migrating from WordPress.
Astro explains how they're continuing to fund open source development through sponsorships, having already distributed over $500,000 to maintainers and community contributors working on everything from docs to Starlight.
After almost two years in beta, StudioCMS is officially leaving beta with v0.1.0, featuring a complete dashboard redesign, Effect integration, taxonomy support, and more.
Reuben Tier's React Advanced 2025 talk covers Astro's islands architecture, exploring client directives for selective hydration and using Nanostores to share state between islands across different frameworks.
Raymond Camden walks through building a custom Astro content collection loader that parses Saffron recipe exports into a browsable recipe site with dynamic routing and clean data structures.
A detailed migration story covering how two WordPress blogs were merged into one Astro site in three days, achieving perfect 100 Lighthouse scores while ditching plugin maintenance for clean, Git-versioned content.
