In Cloudflare acquires AstroSorry we haven't fixed this issue sooner. In this case it's a complicated CSS issue, but nevertheless I've got a fix I'm working on here:

In Cloudflare acquires AstroTo be fair, vite does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to supporting extra frameworks. If you look at the code required for astro to integrate with a new technology you'll see it's relatively straightforward.
For example, here's all the code in the svelte integration: https://github.com/withastro/astro/tree/main/packages/integr...
In Cloudflare acquires AstroI like the idea behind Astro, I've used it for a couple websites here and there.
I'm a bit worried about the complexity brought by Astro supporting all these different frameworks through its adapters, and how stable and maintainable those websites will be in the future.
For instance: I've been using Astro with Svelte to build static sites with some components that require client-side interactivity. I really like that Astro doesn't ship any JS by default and just outputs static HTML, and when I want some page to have an interactive JS component, Svelte is an option that produces a relatively small amount of client JS.
But: Using Svelte with Astro this way for static sites has been broken since August 2025. As soon as you have a conditionally rendered child component in Svelte, Astro fails to bundle the styles for it in the static output of

the site, and it does that ONLY in production, which is really devious, you could build a whole site (using astro dev) without knowing and then it breaks when you deploy it.
The issue is here: https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/14252
I don't want to be complaining about how quickly issues get addressed in an OSS project that I'm not paying for, I don't blame them for not keeping tabs on every framework integration, I just would love to build websites with the latest versions Astro and Svelte, and I unfortunately have the feeling I should have just gone with SvelteKit for a smoother experience.

In RSC for Astro DevelopersYeah I really like Astro too, I often just start with the minimal template [1] that is just a couple of files. I used to do many experiments with custom SSG some time ago but since Astro came out I can't change back anymore.
If you don't want js on the frontend you can just use it as a nice html templating engine. It also renders markdown automatically for you as it recognizes different formats by the file extension.

2 points · Open discussionAs you might know not one tool fits all, I still have strong preferences for the following. It helps me get going faster and get things done right first time and helps in ease of maintenance.
Language: Typescript.
Frontend Framework: Astrojs [1] or qwik [2]
Frontend Library: React if it requires 3d and other frame-motion like animations, else will not use any frontend library or might throw solidjs if required for some state etc.
Backend: Cloudflare functions, google functions
Auth: Lucia-Auth [3] if required
IDE: VS code with neovim , once deployed to git, I might some time use code-spaces
CSS: DaisyUI [4] with tailwind or Bulma
CSS Library: TailwindUI [5] makes most of the components ready to use and comes from the makers
CMS: Astro content collections or Sanity [6]
Deployment: Cloudflare (Highly preferred) or linode/digitalocean/netlif

Are you using Firefox? Or mobile devices? I'm trying to debug this issue too.

In Astro: All-in-one web framework designed for speedI just submitted a Github ticket; hope it is an easily solvable problem.

In Astro: All-in-one web framework designed for speedWe considered this for an integration into our frontend, but they don’t support CSS-in-JS frameworks yet, a deal breaker for us: https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/4432
In Astro 2.0As long as you have npm installed it'll work. Npm create is an alias for the npm init command [1], which will look for a package with the prefix 'create-', install it, and run its bin file. It looks like this is the file that ends up being run: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/create....
