## Project Status
⚠️ **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!
