Shoutout to the team at @astro.build for the Starlight docs framework. It made building out portabletext.org so much easier!

(Yes, we do recognize the irony in documenting Portable Text with Markdown)

Very excited to share this. Experimental session support in Astro. With Astro.session we're aiming to make sessions as easy as they are in PHP and Rails. It's experimental now, but please try it out and let me know how you get on.
Thanks to @unjs.io for unstorage which powers the actual storage.

Neat!

Looking forward to it!
