#3I've used Astro my company's landing page for the past year or so [0]. We write blog posts in Notion and port them right to the site and the experience has been fantastic. There are a few understanding quirks with regard to using React etc within Astro (it's SSR'd unless you add the "client" attribute, and counter-intuitively the Component Lifecycle doesn't run the same). For client landing pages, we'll use Astro too- occasionally they'll want a CMS to write their own blog posts without a Git / commit pipeline. In those cases, Netlify CMS plugs in seamlessly and has a generous free tier.

inevitable question that always can use answering - what can you share about Astro's company business plan/business model at this time?

#5It’s a really great tool I’ve been using since last year. I had previously attempted using Nuxt but that’s a real mess and I never actually got to writing anything. Now I’m using Astro and I’ve got a few articles and it’s a really pleasant developer experience. A lot of static site generators I have found needed more time configuring and writing code for leaving less time in the day for posts etc. I haven’t found this with Astro.
The ability to totally not send any JS at all apart from what you manually add such as framework specific components is really something.

Are you really complaining that people are trying to innovate and create new things?
You are not forced to use it.

#8This look very cool overall!
Could you please explain the tradeoffs vs tools like Hugo and Docusaurus?

Netlify recently changed their pricing structure, so if you are using Netlify CMS (or just Netlify Identity) with a private repo, every contributor to the repository (committer) will be charged as full pro seat. This can get really expensive if you have a few users working with the CMS (and thus committing content to the repository). We will move a few pages from Netlify now because of this change.

#10I'm looking at https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/why-astro/ and I still can't tell what's interesting and unique about this as compared to other options in this space.
I acknowledge that this might be a PEBKAC situation, but I'd love to hear thoughts from people who used Next.js, Remix, or whatever and found Astro to be a revelation.
It seems like Astro's creators believe "content-focused" is a differentiator, but I find that confusing since content-focused sites are a popular use case for web frameworks that are also suitable for more complex apps.
