Templating: Lit Markdown MDX

What it is

Rocket is a Web Components-first SSG by the Modern Web team. Lit-based, opinionated towards web standards. Niche but well-built.

Best for

  • Web Components-first teams
  • Teams aligned with the Modern Web project conventions

When not to pick it

For most teams, Astro will be a stronger pick with a much larger community.

My take

Niche tool with a specific philosophical alignment. Astro covers the same shape with broader adoption.
