I've been looking into astro.build and it looks like a cool project, but there's something that's just a bit shady.
- It seems to be open source. (yay)
- The home page is covered in marketing which makes it hard to separate hype from reality. (confusing)
- There are sponsors and merchandise clearly featured on the webpage. (funding questions)
- The CLI collects telemetry data by default (creepy)
What's the deal with Astro? Is it going to enshitify eventually?
Just wrapped up some updates across my dev projects:
✅ Astro portfolio site built + deployed
✅ Daily Trek episode bot now posting to Mastodon & Bluesky
✅ Astro tamed
Feels good when the little things finally click.

In #AstroJs #AstroBuild, is there a way to generate a menu from all pages automatically?
SEO от начинающего для незнающих
Итак есть один бустрап проект , отличный продукт и мало клиентов, мое время дошло до SEO. Вообще бустрап или инди проект качает очень многие навыки и учит делать больше фокуса на бизнесе(деньгах) и что маркетологи не бездельники и у них тоже сложная работа! Сейчас будут довольно базовые штуки, которые я узнал и сделал за последние пару дней(недель), а вы в комментариях можете написать умных советов - я верю в вас!
New problem with the blog. Build errors, likely it‘s the dependencies- happens when I update anything. I love astro but I‘m so tired of this. Can’t use my website because of this and have no time to be researching in depth, it’s frustrating. I‘m considering to switch to something easier that doesn’t cost me extra. But what? Maybe a static site with no framework plus a free bearblog or something. Ideas or suggestions are more than welcome 🙏
Konečně jsem se dokopal smazat původní web a začít něco nového 😊
Prošel jsem si základy #AstroBuild a udělal si mock-up nových webovek.
Momentálně mám hrubou kostru, můžu psát blog v #Markdown. Ještě bych se rád dostal k nějaké lehké integraci Owncastu, ale to pro mě bude trochu vyšší dívčí. Jo a poslední dobou si fakt užívám #gruvbox barvičky 😅

How, as #WebDev illiterate, do I start converting my #Grav theme to #AstroBuild?
Our first #OpenSource release since our company was legally constituted. Not a big deal, but sort of a milestone :D.
A package to improve the security of your Astro site against #XSS attacks:

Hi, any astro.build users here ? I am wondering if it is possible to have dynamic imports in an Image component. It seems to work in dev but not in build 🤔
Just worked on a complicated component in @astro ... getting it all working as a "component" with all kinds of external js and CSS and just dropped it in to my main page and it all just worked -- and the CSS stayed isolated, and no JS errors. It's freaking magic! Thank you #astro #astrobuild #madewithastro
Just updated my site (https://zander.wtf) to @astro v3. There were quite a few things I had to change, but overall a fairly smooth upgrade path. Beyond the migration docs (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/upgrade-to/v3/), the import aliases docs (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/aliases/) were mostly what I needed to tweak. #astro #astrobuild
The commit for my changes is here: https://github.com/mrmartineau/zander.wtf/commit/04ede41c9b93216c332a788b7ae298de210d6367
My "tech stack" :
1) #appwrite for back end
2) #astrobuild for node app
3) #replit for IDE
4) #github for storage
5) #shoelace https://shoelace.style for widgets
6) #svelte for any magic
7) #kaboomjs for game views
8) #opengameart for art assets
9) #kennynl https://kenney.nl/ for more assets
10) #nightcafe for some special art
I'm comparing my current dev environment ( #replit #astrobuild #appwrite #kaboomjs ) with an older world ( #visualstudio ) and it's like night and day. The first I can run anywhere via the browser. The other takes up 8GiB on my machine.
The #astrobuild docs are so helpful https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/client-side-scripts/

I got a version of their Starlight app running on #replit https://replit.com/@triptych/Astro-Starlight?v=1
Finished my https://astro.build tutorial and that was a lot of fun, and really an eye opener. Can't wait to find a project to use it again in the real world. See result here:

#astrobuild
devs, we're thrilled to announce that CloudCannon's CMS support for Astro is out of beta!

Ok.
Rolled my own "middleware" for generating article preview images was easier than expected in/with @astro .
A rough version for the tutorial soon :D .
Make it easy on yourself by combining pieces from two great static site generators and use eleventy-fetch to cache your @astro API requests.
