About this template
This template is built with Astro and comes with the Preact integration preconfigured. Preact offers the familiar React component model and hooks API in a much smaller package, which pairs naturally with Astro’s islands for adding interactivity without heavy bundles. Deployed on Azion, it’s served via a distributed architecture for fast, globally distributed delivery.
Key features
- Preact integration ready to use with no extra setup
- React-compatible API and hooks with a significantly smaller footprint
