Greetings Astronauts,
Astro’s first-ever in-person event is now just weeks away. As much as I would love to sample some bonafide poutine, I’ll sadly not be making the 6,216-mile round trip from the UK. Maybe catch you all at the next one.
In the meantime, in today’s newsletter we have details on the first dedicated Astro CMS, sending in-app notifications with Astro, and… TikTok?
Let’s jump in and find out more.
This week in Astro ☄️
Poutine, anyone?
Astro Together tickets are now available 🎟️
Tickets for Astro’s first-ever in-person event are now available. Over 100 Astronauts are expected to gather later this month in Montréal, Québec.
Astro Together promises a night of fun, community-building, and never-before-seen new launches and demos from the Astro core team.

Astro has a CMS now?
Introducing Astro Studio CMS — the dedicated content management system designed exclusively for Astro Studio, crafted from scratch by the collaborative efforts of the Astro community.
Key features of Astro Studio CMS include an enhanced Markdown experience, Shiki-powered syntax highlighting, built-in authentication support, and the Unpic image service for efficiently handling images.
Astro Studio CMS is in beta and should be considered an experimental project.

Astro Showcase 🤩
An astronomical impact
Amid increased scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers, TikTok has publicized its economic impact through a newly commissioned report.
Yet, beyond the staggering sums accumulated from bedroom dance routines, a more captivating story unfolds.
TikTok’s Economic Impact Report 2024 microsite is powered by Astro. Now, it's not just your cat videos reaching for the stars.
