Thank you to everyone who tried it, shipped it in production, opened issues, and sent pull requests. Weekly download numbers are never the whole story, but they are a clear signal that the Astro community cares about font performance and ease of use, and that motivates us for the next round of work. ## A quick apology If you have been waiting for blog posts, release notes, or roadmap updates - sorry for the radio silence lately. That is not ideal when you depend on a project, and we appreciate your patience. ## What is next More updates are coming in the next 2 weeks - more releases, continued hardening around real-world Astro setups, and incremental improvements so **astro-font** stays a dependable default for font optimization. If you are new to the project, the [npm package page](https://www.npmjs.com/package/astro-font) is the best place to get started, and the existing write-ups on this blog still walk through how **astro-font** fits into Astro sites. Thank you again for pushing **astro-font** to this milestone 🖤
