With deep gratitude

ONE is possible because of generous builders who share their craft.

Open source is a relay race. These people and teams shipped the tools and practices we depend on. Every reference here maps back to entries in web/package.json or the playbooks we use to ship them.

Framework & Runtime

Core runtime choices from web/package.json that give ONE consistent performance, DX, and deployment flexibility.

Fred K. Schott

Co-creator, Astro & Snowpack

We selected Astro to deliver content-first pages with island architecture. Fred's vision for content-driven sites and predictable DX keeps our marketing surfaces static-fast while letting interactive dashboards hydrate where needed. Astro's 54.2k stars reflect the trust the community places in this framework.

Matthew Phillips

Core maintainer, Astro (Louisville, KY)

Matthew's governance and stewardship of Astro's roadmap make it safe for our team to ship weekly without breakage.
