Hello Astronauts,
We're still eagerly awaiting the release of recordings and announcements from last week’s Astro Together event in Montreal. For those of us who couldn't attend in person, we hope Astro won’t keep us waiting too much longer!
In today’s newsletter, I’m excited to welcome a new sponsor.
Screen Studio is kindly supporting my plans to produce Astro Weekly video content in the months ahead. Stay tuned for more updates.
In the meantime, let’s check in with the Astroverse.
This week in Astro ☄️
Thank you, Nate 💜
Some bittersweet news to share this week:
Astro core maintainer Nate Moore has announced that he is moving on after three years of incredible dedication and hard work on Astro.
Nate was instrumental in shaping many of the features we love about Astro today, most notably the outstanding Astro CLI.
After 3 incredible years with Astro, I'm ready for my next challenge! Building up @astrodotbuild from nothing with this team has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. 🙏
Devtools companies—have a CLI that needs some love? Let's chat, DMs open! I'd love to help.

Astro Community 🧑🚀
In a recent livestream, Chris Pennington unveiled a fresh side project designed to accept code review submissions for Astro projects.
The stream is worth checking out as it also serves as an excellent learning resource for working with forms and Astro DB.
Perhaps I’ll consider submitting Astro Weekly v2 once it’s ready. 👀
That’s no moon. It’s Lunaria
Supercharge localization with Lunaria 🌙
Introducing Lunaria, a complete localization management toolchain built especially for open-source projects.
