Guten Tag, Astronauts! Dust off those passports. Astro is coming together once more, this time in Frankfurt, Germany.
Elsewhere in Europe, teaching's taking root in university classrooms, and a penguin trust in New Zealand just ditched WordPress for speed.
After the success of Astro Together London, Astro is heading to Germany for an evening of talks, live demos, and exclusive swag. Free to attend, but spaces are limited.
Teaching designers to build with APIs shouldn't mean configuring a bundler first. Jad Joubran explains why Astro's "HTML-first, JavaScript when you need it" philosophy makes it the ideal teaching tool.
Migrating from WordPress under deadline pressure, a New Zealand conservation trust rebuilt their site on Astro, slashing homepage load time from 11.1s to 1.7s.

Astro doesn't ship draft support out of the box. Themefisher shows a lightweight workflow to gate unpublished content from production builds.
WordPress survives through twenty years of inertia, not innovation. Syed Umair makes the case that Astro's zero-JavaScript default, static architecture, and Git-based content management beat WordPress for portfolios, blogs, and marketing sites.
