2023 was a huge year for Astro, and 2024 is already shaping up to be even bigger. Let’s dive into the updates!
Releases
The first month of the year already started strong 💪!
Docs
Our weekly Discord call “Talking and Doc’ing” is a chance for you to watch Team Docs work in public, jump in a codespace, and contribute to the docs. This month’s topics included:
- New section in Starlight Docs for Resources, including a new Community Content page with links to blog posts, community recipes, videos and streams.
- We played around with Lunaria and improved the documentation.
- We added a new Section to the Astro Docs for Community Resources, with two pages, ”Community Educational Content”, and ”Talks, Interviews and Streams“.
