Greetings, my fellow Astronauts!
Your weekly Astro update is here—100% Studio Ghibli meme-free, which is more than we can say for the rest of X this week.
Instead, we’ve got real magic: Astro just hit a major milestone, blasting past 50K stars on GitHub—turns out, people really love fast websites.
We’ll also take a look at the Triple AAA Stack, combining Angular and Astro for content-driven sites, and explore how to manage draft content in Astro like a pro.
Let’s get started! 🚀

Manage draft content in Astro like a pro ✏️
Scott Willsey explores how to handle draft content in Astro, ensuring unpublished posts stay hidden until they're ready to go live.
