Astro

Astro is a modern front-end web framework that allows developers to build fast, optimized websites with less client-side JavaScript. It allows components from different front-end frameworks (like React, Vue, etc.) to be used together in the same page, and only sends the necessary JavaScript to the client, resulting in faster loading times.
