Why not use astro?

[Jak2k]

In my experience, developing with astro is really fun and it has way more features than static. Why should I use static?

Personally I find static more intuitive and friendly than astro, eg: I'm more comfortable looping elemets using than map(), or using includes than importing components.

Even using files with .html extension instead of .astro (as well as .jsx .svelte, etc) feels more like "home" to a person like me, an "old internet" nostalgic but who likes modern html centric solutions like tailwind, alpine and htmx.

I think we should rate a framework by its features and not by its file extensions.The static project has not very much features, so I use astro.

I've been working on a V2 of Static that is going to include Tailwind V4 and a bunch of other goodies.

@giampieropace 🙏 Thanks for the kind words. Would you mind if I used your comment as a testimonial on the new marketing site?

Sure, no problem for me. I'll wait to see what V2 brings.
