Did you like the video? Do you like this style? Leave a comment, press the buttons, send me those algos

[@ThePrimeagen]

Because I had a blast doing this. So much fun. But if you reply to this comment, I won't see it because KZbin has the single worse notification system ever

[@mauriciovieira883]

I love it, prime! I WANT MORE

[@ra-dro]

I did every step from the guide, but sent nudes instead of algos. Is it ok?

[@jamilsinno752]

I like you, Prime

[@window.location]

Tokioooo!!

[@Will4_U]

Astro is simply amazing. We are using it in a side project, which is a "resource hub" for web developers, and it performs pretty well. Cool to see everything in Lighthouse in green :)

[@ThePrimeagen]

yeah, its awesome how much you can accomplish with it.

[@mbehboodian]

It's blazinglg green

[@Ma1ne2]

I really like this style! And the idea of interviewing creators of the open source community. Gives many of these amazing projects a face, a story and us a great bit of entertainment, being interviewed by you! If you ask me, keep em coming!

[@ThePrimeagen]

Will do! I have some people coming up shortly!

[@raenastra]

Just rebuilt my personal site with Astro and I'm loving it. The docs are great too: they're extremely up-front about deciding when Astro is a good or bad fit for the type of project you're working on.

[@earthling_parth]

Astro seems really cool! I feel pain all over when working with the frontend but I'm looking to build a personal project to share with friends for fun. Thanks for the interview too with Fred. It's always intriguing to learn about the perspective and thought process of the people who make the stuff we use.

[@lvgsredarmy8776]

Would love to see more videos like this, love the format Prime! Thanks as always for the enthusiastic content and i’m thrilled to see that you’re liking Astro 🤩

[@ThePrimeagen]

i really do. i am trying to find something to do with astro

[@danielsaunders9826]

Astro is fantastic. The docs are fantastic, the community is fantastic, the dev experience is fantastic. I've struggled with more complicated React setups before but Astro got me to understand components in a BLAZINGLY FAST and intuitive way.

[@naung01]

Even though I don't understand these frameworks , I still watch. I am enjoying the live streams and the videos. I appreciate the effort to put the stream on KZbin as well. I am mainly commenting for the algorithm. Thank you for doing the charity stream. also thank you for teaching me how to use coconut oil.

[@ThePrimeagen]

you are welcome :)

[@alan614]

This was great! I liked the fact that you had one of the creators of Astro on to field questions. I was definitely more interested as a result 👍

[@t3dotgg]

Can confirm, Astro really is HTML

[@ThePrimeagen]

hio theo!

[@meowrbius]

What about Qwik

[@harrybilsonia]

Would be cool to have you interview Andreas Kling (creator of operating system from scratch, serenityos and a browser with own js engine, ladybird) and JT (from Systems with JT channel)

[@MythiPlayz]

Man they're underrated!!!

[@jmann277]

I got my 16 year old cousin up and running with their own website in lik e.5-1, most of the time was just getting them a vercel and github account. Most of the learning they did on their own just trial and error with the dev server. I really liked how they were able to still just like google css/html questions and get answers.

[@CatwaiiYT]

How long did it took him?

[@earthling_parth]

I really like the keyboard keys printing Prime! I often learn new key bindings by looking at you speedrun your way through file (s) 😄

[@scottiedoesno]

This was such a great interview and and awesome wrapup video. Now I just need to find some time to play with astro!

[@godDIEmanLIVE]

Dude your content is amazing. Super funny, fun, informative, deep, technical. All of these things are tech and software engineering. This is how it should be and this is the way it should be portayed.

[@wardm4]

Wow. Impressive. I've been on the fence about switching to a static site just to get rid of all the junk that comes from wordpress. It felt weird that the only two options were static or all the junks. Now I'm going to check this out.

[@ThePrimeagen]

yeah, effectively this is wordpress 2.0

[@uquantum]

Loved this video, thank you Primeagen! Loving Astro, the more so once I added Tailwind...a combo to encourage devs to be creative and try new things fast. Fred (in interviews) pushes Astro as static site generation first, yet I've switched to using Astro specifically for SSR (live server output) projects. Why? Think of the typical React SPA...it's not that easy to throw in other framework components (eg solidjs) to test stuff out because of React's virtual DOM. Astro's come-one come-all philosophy encourages efficiency comparisons: easily make the same component in React and Solidjs with instant performance feedback as to which provided the best UX.

[@Anomalious]

Man your vibe is amazing. Keet it up!

[@fabianmuhlberger6153]

Fantastic format! you said you see yourself making a website with it and I would love to see a more in-depth video using it. I think that would complement the picture. Not only showing the features but also making a small implementation would help distribute great projects.

[@kelvindecosta5350]

It would be really interesting to watch a conversation between you and Rich Harris, the creator of Svelte.

[@ThePrimeagen]

i am trying to get him to say yes.

[@pkoch]

Super in for these series! 🚀

[@calcs001]

Gold, anything that makes @ThePrimeagen willing to mess with node catches my interest. Will check it out :-)

[@buildervision7082]

Astro is awesome. I built my portfolio website with it and even had the navigation menu built with react. It just works!

[@gateskennedy7534]

cool format ⚙️

[@konstantinospapadias3705]

Hey prime, love your videos man! I would like some series into things that a backend Dev needs to learn in his first job (i am in my first job now, and I work as a type of full stack web dev, more on the front side, but I would like to develop my backend skills also a bit, lets say whatever has to do with the development of a good web API/service)

[@tobias-edwards]

I don't quickly latch onto the buzz around new frameworks, BUT I did love Snowpack (and I didn't even realise it was deprecated until recently). I think I'll give Astro a go, it looks awesome

[@ThePrimeagen]

the fact fred was able to stop making snowpack and recognize the good in vite is pretty amazing. it means he is pretty objective.

[@iainearl6669]

I wrote my personal site in NextJS, then Svelte, and then Astro! Astro has such a nice dev experience and the result is so clean I stuck with it! NextJS and Svelte felt really clunky for a personal site/blog

[@ThePrimeagen]

yeah, that is way too much for a personal site

[@headlights-go-up]

Algorithmic signals sent. This is good stuff, Mr. CEO.

[@ThePrimeagen]

no problem :)

5 minutes in and I am in love with Astro. I am 100% certain this is what the Big Bang felt like.

[@vmbinary]

Exciting stuff!

[@nowayicommented1314]

Astro + Solid is absolutely killing it if you want small file size and a fast page

[@justjess5891]

As I understand Astro is primarily about building static websites, but I am wondering whether it's possible to build a fully dynamic site with Astro? And if it's indeed possible how much would I have to fight the framework to do it or perhaps the better question would be how helpful would Astro be in building it, that is, is all the Astro specific stuff only for building static sites or is there some useful functionality for dynamic sites as well?

[@patrickc.6183]

This is a great format, and I enjoy the conversations with other devs. I would love to see you interview John Carmack 😀.

[@SandwichMitGurke]

I have the feeling that they are very different and do different stuff but I might be wrong

[@patrickc.6183]

@@SandwichMitGurke I agree, it's a longshot, but it would be cool!

[@ra-dro]

Thanks for your great work!

[@ThePrimeagen]

yaya!

[@ruaidhrilumsden]

I don't see any reason to not use Astro for any static site. You get much better DX than vanilla HTML/CSS, and you don't sacrifice user interactivity or component architecture because you can bring that in when needed. Plus I've never found it easier to throw in a MD document on to a site. Perfect.

[@friendly__drone9352]

This is an awesome explanation. I've played with Astro but I don't go into the weeds like you did. Side note: I'd love to see some sort of cross-over with Jason Lengstorff. Maybe teach him some rust or something?

[@jarmandog8372]

Hey Primeagen! How do you make the time to learn all this cool new things? Do you have a method like literally schedules for learning stuff, or just let yourself loose when you find something interesting?

[@clarke6808]

Howdy! It's been a pleasure watching your videos and you gave me the confidence to put a face cam into my development videos.. I really love the community for giving me feedback to improve because I'm a long shot from you, but I really look up to you as a role model. Keep up the good work 😊

It's so fun and easy to build with! The only hard thing is remembering whether to write class or className if you're in a react component or not.

[@chyldstudios]

I was investigating AstroNvim, CosmicNvim and LunarVim ... and I ended up going with AstroNvim. It's easy to setup, has lots of features and can be extended. I love it!

[@chyldstudios]

LOL, I commented before watching the video. I thought this was about the customized neovim configuration called AstroNvim.

[@felipegutierrez2944]

Astro is cool!!! do i need any plugin in nvim to use Astro?

[@lpanebr]

This Astro thing looks really cool! You should do a video creating a simple "how to subscribe" page with interactive step by step instructions!

[@theodorealenas3171]

dev-time rendering though? I don't know how that's called but, pre baked html? Is that part of the framework? Because that'd be nuts! Fast for the server too!

[@brettstoddard7947]

*Sending signals via the Algo either that this format is awesome*

[@TomNook.]

About client vs server side frameworks: isn't it essentially juggling over whether its faster/more efficient to send less data to the user + process things on the server, at the expense of hammering the server more?

[@ThePrimeagen]

effectively. i am more worried about server to server comms with server side components.

Random question here. I assume he's using Chrome, but why is the minimize/max/X buttons missing in the top right of the browser? Is there a setting for hiding those in Chrome, or is it another browser or Chrome theme or something?

[@bockyx]

Man I was at loss when trying to serve my Svelte project since I didn't want to use vercel, gonna check out Astro, thanks!

[@nikfp]

Is your site vanilla Svelte or Sveltekit? If it's vanilla you can use GH actions to build and then deploy with GH pages, no charge. If it's Kit, you can deploy with Cloudflare and Netlify along with Vercel, but I'm not sure who has a free tier for that.

[@AlexanderSuraphel]

If you are using Svelte Kit, you can use adapter-node and easily deploy it with node.

Hi, can you make a video on how your learning style is. From beginning to current phase

[@nomadshiba]

one thing is, you can actually make many things interactive without by js by just using css and html years years ago i used to make interactive landing pages without any js, so its faster i was using css and generated html but once you wanna connect to it to the js it becomes problematic also with all these new apis, such as history api and stuff, using js has become necessary for interactivity and its normal now

I just can't get into web dev. I spent about a year learning JavaScript and building apps with React. After all the work (plus the tedium with CSS) was done and the apps were live I just felt a sense of "meh". I persisted but I never got any satisfaction from the end product. I now focus on Game dev and it's way more satisfying and worth the effort (for me at least).
