If you haven't heard of Sitepins. it's a Git-based CMS that lets you manage content of your static sites like Astro, Hugo, Nextjs directly through your Git workflow.

We just shipped native internationalization (i18n) support. The interface is now available in English, Chinese (Simplified), German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Bengali.

The reason we built it: a lot of our users were using browser extensions to translate the UI. Extensions work, but they break layouts and mistranslate some terms in a CMS context. Native support fixes both.

I’m looking into setting up the new AI Visibility / Bot Activity feature in Microsoft Clarity. To get it working, you have to connect Cloudflare and give it permissions for Logs and Analytics.

Clarity has this big disclaimer saying: "Connecting with your CDN integration may introduce costs based on your provider."

I’m currently on the Cloudflare Free plan. I purchased domains from them.

is there any way Cloudflare can "surprise" bill me for the data Clarity is pulling?

Starting something new here.
A dedicated weekly thread where you can share what you've been building with Astro, or anything you've made for the Astro community.

Whether its a personal project, a theme, a tool, an integration, a tutorial, whatever. if you built it with or for Astro, drop it here.

Dropping this every week so the community has a consistent place to show off work without it getting buried. lets see what everyone's been building.

We tried using the official GoHighLevel n8n integration. Found it only offers 17 actions and no triggers. Plus, you need to create a "personal app". the setup is a bit complex for non-tech people.

To make the setup easier and offer more actions and triggers, we ended up building a GHL node for n8n. Currently, it has 40+ actions and 30+ triggers. No app creation needed on your end. We already handled the app side, so you just install it to a sub-account.

It's completely free. We just want to get this into the hands of a few power users who know their way around both platforms. We're looking for honest feedback to help us polish the edges before a wider release.

Let me know if you want to try it out.

Here are the major highlights:

Alpha Preview of Astro 7

• Early look at Vite 8 support
• Stable Rust compiler integration

Astro 6.2 Release

• Experimental custom logger with JSON output
• SVG optimizer API for better image handling
• New font file URL helper for improved typography management

Astro Together London Event

• In-person meetup featuring core team members including Fred Schott, Matt Kane, Florian Lefebvre, Alexander Niebuhr, and Chris Swithinbank
• Topics included live collections, route caching, and the new Astro Fonts API

Team Growth

• Rafael Yasuhide Sudo (@rururux) joined as the newest maintainer

Major Adopters

Several high-profile organizations launched Astro-powered sites including Crunchyroll's Ani-May 2026 event, Todoist's help center, GitHub's Stacked PRs platform, and EmDash CMS documentation.

We just dropped a free open-source template for anyone building SaaS marketing website on Astro. It has 15+ pre-built pages, 47 components and shortcodes. Pre-configured Sitepins CMS (a git-based cms for static sites like Astro, Hugo, Next.js). Ready to deploy on Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, or Docker.

If you follow the workflow shared in the video (fork -> connect Sitepins -> deploy on Vercel -> edit in browser.), you don't even need to open a code editor to get your website's v1 live at no cost.

Obviously, you can pull it down to vscode whenever you’re ready to do the heavy lifting.

The specs:

- built on Astro 6, Tailwind 4, and React 19.

- 15+ pages ready to fill in: features, pricing,about, changelog, careers, case studies, etc.

- 47 components and shortcodes

- framer motion for all the scroll reveals and transitions.

- mdx support for the blog so you can drop in interactive components.

- content collections for everything to keep it type-safe.

- Mit license.

hopefully it’ll save you a few hours/days of work if you just need a professional site up quickly.

if this saves you some time on your next project, i’d appreciate a star on github. helps us keep track of interest for future updates.

This tutorial shows you how to run WordPress as a headless CMS with an Astro frontend deployed to Cloudflare Pages..

We're experimenting with converting our existing Astro themes to support EmDash.

Turns out it's not a small lift. A decent amount of things to reconfigure and not everything plays nicely out of the box.

Curious if anyone else has gone through this. Any patterns or gotchas worth knowing before we go deeper into the conversion?

If you’ve been in the WordPress world, you know Joost de Valk. He wrote the definitive guide to WordPress SEO back in 2008 and built the Yoast SEO plugin that basically defined SEO for a decade.

He recently migrated his personal site from WordPress to Astro, and he just released a deep-dive guide on how he’s handling SEO now.

Why it’s worth a read for Astro devs:

• Schema.org Integration: How he builds complex JSON-LD graphs in Astro.
• Build-time Validation: Using Astro’s content collections to fail builds if SEO metadata (like Open Graph images) is missing.
• LLM Optimization: How he’s prepping his site for AI agents (ChatGPT/Claude) using llms.txt.
• The "Why": He explains why he thinks Astro is technically superior to WordPress for modern SEO.

It’s a great validation for the framework to see a titan of the SEO industry moving to Astro and documenting his entire technical setup.
