Astro is great. I love that I can mix and match between markdown, plain HTML, and Svelte components as needed (and even intermix them within a page). Pretty much the sweet spot I always wanted for a blog or marketing site: 98% static stuff, 2% sprinkles of JS.
In early experiments it feels like Inertia.js be this same feeling but for Rails and Laravel.
I never got very far on the Gatsby train. It always felt so slow and fragile during local dev, and while GraphQL was cool it felt like total overkill for most of the data I needed to grab (like… markdown files from disk).
