Astro VS Bridgetown

Astro

A static site generator with a focus on simplicity and usability is called Astro. It is created using the well-liked Node.js runtime environment and is built in JavaScript. Hot reloading and an integrated development server make it simple to test and refine your website while it is still under development.

Moreover, Astro includes a straightforward, adaptable file-based data schema that makes managing the content of your website simple.

In addition, it has built-in support for SASS, LESS, and PostCSS, making it simple to include unique styles into your website. In conclusion, Astro is a fantastic option for developers seeking a simplified and effective static site generator.

Bridgetown

Bridgetown began as a fork of Jekyll with the intention of introducing contemporary web development methods and technologies, such as the usage of Webpack, PostCSS, and npm.


Despite being extremely new, Bridgetown has quite an active Discord community. Bridgetown gives people the freedom to do exceptional things once again. It is built on renowned open-source technologies like Ruby, Puma, Roda, and Jekyll.
