## Project Status
-โ ๏ธ **Astro is still an early beta, missing features and bugs are to be expected!** If you can stomach it, then Astro-built sites are production ready and several production websites built with Astro already exist in the wild. We will update this note once we get closer to a stable, v1.0 release.
+โ ๏ธ **Astro is still beta software—missing features and bugs are to be expected!** We are quickly working our way towards a stable, production-ready v1.0 release, but we are still finalizing some of Astro's APIs.
+
+That being said, there are quite a few Astro sites in production already. We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has made an early bet on Astro!
