Starshot aims to build the new default download of Drupal. A package built on Drupal core, including refined common features from the contributed project ecosystem to create a great user experience out of the box. Starshot is built on top of results from recent initiatives like Recipes, Project Browser, and Automatic Updates to take Drupal to new heights.
The result of Starshot will be a fast-moving Open Source product that enables site builders without Drupal experience to easily create a new Drupal site and extend it with pre-packaged recipes, all using their browser. It will guide site builders to install recipes for common use cases and innovative capabilities that are immediately useful for production. It will focus on getting people from install to launch really fast and will bring new people and contributors into Drupal and the Open Web.
Project lead Dries Buytaert announced at DrupalCon Portand 2024 that an initial version of Drupal Starshot will be available before the end of 2024.

🧰 Starshot Issues
We are tracking issues for building Starshot itself on the Starshot project's issue queue. For example, we are tracking what Starshot needs from Recipes, Automatic Updates and Project Browser there. There is also the Starshot blocker tag on issues, that is used in core and contributed projects which are required for Starshot's release.

Each major component of Starshot has their own set of issues. Check out the Project Browser roadmap to stability, as well as the Recipes Phase 2 roadmap plus the Automatic Updates roadmap to stability. The Experience Builder Initiative also has a kanban board of their current issues.
