Astro feels good, like simple, easy, and useful

[@JamesQQuick]

Agreed. That’s definitely what I love about it!

[@christopheanfry2425]

So excited just after the course it gives me even more boost. I’ll definitely look in details the internationalization feature and the new view transition!!!!

[@semyaza555]

Astro is *far* better than next.js (imo) but will never overtake next.js because vercel has a lot of capital behind it. Hopefully, Astro will influence newer frameworks.

[@moritzschuessler]

Next is capable of way more then astro tho. So dont know how someone thinks they compete in the same space

[@gyenabubakar]

@@moritzschuessler how is Next.js more capable?

[@semyaza555]

@@gyenabubakar It isn’t. He’s never used Astro, and/or only uses React. Otherwise, he’d realize that statement is silly on its face.

[@sahilahmed3066]

Can Astro run html page ✅ can astro run react to qwik components ✅ can astro support sass or less, its inbuilt ✅ what else do you need? ✨

[@mosch1811]

⁠@@sahilahmed3066 how is astro doing caching by default, deduping request to databases and api by default, how good does it actually perform as server?

[@boristherin4104]

oh my, just finished 3.5 migration for the project i had ! Astro is just awesome ! everything in it is keeped stupid simple with every lastest techno

[@twd2]

I liked the form submission and more dynamic ability, so excited for what coming up, using Svelte components with, but the huge part would be rebuilding and generating, is it possible to be among period to check if there's a change then rebuilding if so, but I think whether Vercel or Netlify should step up with this!!!

[@jameshuggins2520]

Been using Astro for a while and love it. With Next everywhere you look I figured I’d do well to push my skills forward with it but I just can’t seem to put Astro down. Glad to see I’m not the only one!

[@davordebrecin3999]

Likewise

[@zombiebr]

You nailed it, pt-br is our Brazilian Portuguese 😜

[@hamm8934]

So its taking a note from Nuxt? Glad to see other frameworks catching up to Nuxt

[@MichaelMooregrownman]

great video as usual !

[@jjaimealeman]

I do 100% believe Astro will overtake React/NextJS and all other players. I started your course September 13 when Astro 3.0 came out, and almost 3 months later, 4.0 drops. That's just amazingly insane - the amount of progress and the feature set. JUST WOW!

[@moritzschuessler]

I dont really think Astro will replace Web Apps where Next/Nuxt/SvelteKit really shines. Astro will "replace" them in lighter spaces for sure. I mean u must be dumb when u really build a blog/docs or homepage with Next and Stuff. Not everything needs a one things solves everything solution

[@ChristianKolbow]

4.0 is another amazing step

[@MigalYaroslav]

Astro is growing very fast.

[@jaredtruscott4889]

In my opinion Astro is the best modern framework on the market right now (it’s still young though). I’d love to see a Netlify/Astro partnership put some heat on Vercel.

[@ash1kh]

Almost 10 out of 10 times i choose nuxt over next because of nuxtdev tools predominantly.. now astro has a glympse of it. Wondering how it will grow in next year.

[@JamesQQuick]

Oooh tell me more about the nuxtdev tools?

[@devgauravjatt]

Svelte js ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 1:31

[@cig_in_mouth3786]

I recently learn about astro, I want to replace my Hugo blog let's taste the astro

[@pozda007]

It will not replace NEXT, but will fill the gap between purely static and purely dynamic web sites/apps libs/frameworks. I like how I can ship static pages and fully fledged app in the same repo sharing everything needed to keep the consistency (CSS and data sharing). I particularly like Astro islands as this saves me from implementing micro frontends or inserting react/preact widgets on the static pages. This is, in my opinion, a big progress in web dev ecosystem as we can do simple things again, but automated, faster and easier. just my 2 cents

[@JamesQQuick]

Love it, and thanks for sharing. Yeah definitely hard to replace, but also definitely more and more of a competitor.

[@simonswiss]

Not sure if you're editing videos with bluetooth earphones, but every video has a slight delay between the audio and the video. That, or my computer is cooked 🤣

[@DoctorSoulis]

Is the course out?

[@JamesQQuick]

Yes the course is out, but I haven't updated for 4.0 YET. I'm hoping to have those updates by the end of the year! astrocourse.dev/

[@DoctorSoulis]

Ty very much man!

[@DoctorSoulis]

​@@JamesQQuickOne question sir. Is Astro good for e-commerce development or should I go for nuxt/next?

[@JamesQQuick]

I think it's a great option for e-commerce! You've got full mix off static content and server side generated content. You can really do anything@@DoctorSoulis

[@DoctorSoulis]

@@JamesQQuick Ty very much for the information! I cant wait to buy your Astro course. I already know its going to be great!

[@nickwoodward819]

ngl, but i can't get excited when I start work on a site on v2, and end it on v4...

[@nickwoodward819]

...do love the astro lot though. such a great bunch on discord

[@shu9460]

James is Astro paying you?

[@DjLeonSKennedy]

Astro can release 7.0 but it still shit like

[@JamesQQuick]

What do you not like about it?

[@leularia]

lol you have no idea bean

[@groovebird812]

but you can't give only one reason why

[@leularia]

@@groovebird812 i can't give one reason because i have 10

[@groovebird812]

@@leularia but you don't want to share your 10 resaons with us?

[@allsunday1485]

Better logs might not be flash but this is a tool, for work, and good logs are extremely important for our dev experience. There was some really bad logging so it's great that they are paying attention to that
