Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

All content is Markdown. Uses HTML for layout rather than JS components. Built-in design system for styling. Minimal JS, so loads much faster. Uses islands for optional dynamic areas. Approach encourages progressive enhancement.

Tradeoffs

Although features for web applications are on the roadmap, this is a content-first approach. Has a small number of components available out of the box.
