- [#3223](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/3223) [`b7cd6958`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/b7cd69588453cf874346bf2f14c41accd183129e) Thanks [@bholmesdev](https://github.com/bholmesdev)! - Replace the component framework selector with a new "run astro add" option. This unlocks integrations beyond components during your create-astro setup, including TailwindCSS and Partytown. This also replaces our previous "starter" template with a simplified "Just the basics" option.
