Unfortunately, modern web development has been trending in the opposite direction—towards *more.* More JavaScript, more features, more moving parts, and ultimately more complexity needed to keep it all running smoothly.
We're excited to announce Astro as a new way to build static websites and deliver lightning-fast performance without sacrificing your modern developer experience. To build Astro we borrowed the best parts of our favorite web frameworks and then added a few innovations of our own, including:
Today I'm excited to publicly share Astro: a new kind of static site builder that delivers lightning-fast performance with a modern developer experience. To design Astro, we borrowed the best parts of our favorite frameworks and then added a few innovations of our own, including:
- **Bring Your Own Framework (BYOF):** Astro supports popular UI frameworks like React, Svelte, Vue, Preact, web components, or plain HTML + JavaScript.
- **100% Static HTML, No JS:** Astro strips out JavaScript from your final build and renders every page to HTML by default.

We care deeply about building a more sustainable future for open source software. At the same time, we need to support Astro's development long-term. This requires money (donations alone aren't enough.)
We're inspired by the early success of projects like [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/), [Rome](https://rome.tools/), [Remix](https://remix.run/), [Ionic](https://ionicframework.com/), and others who are experimenting with long-term financial sustainability on top of the Open Source space. Over the next year we'll be exploring how we can create a sustainable business to support a 100% free, open source Astro for years to come.
