A number of popular npm packages have been compromised and malicious versions published. Most of these have been removed from the registry. Astro indirectly depends on one that hasn't, so we have published 5.13.6 that pins a safe version.

npm author Qix’s account was compromised, with malicious versions of popular packages like chalk-template, color-convert, and strip-ansi published.

I use Astro for most my projects and client sites, but I've worked with other full-stack frameworks, like Next.js and SvelteKit. I've contributed to projects using a variety of tools in the past. I have a good understanding of the platform, allowing me to learn new tools quickly.
