The Future of Astro is...

[@hrp_dev]

I started using Astro, truly amazing, gonna stick to it, embrace it and start using it more often.

[@wesleycoder]

I'm so glad I get to see more of Fred, he has been missing from my timeline for a while, such a cool guy!

[@damdaridamdam]

Astrojs is such a relief after Nextjs router complexities. Please keep it up with the great work!

[@syncsteve]

Actually its my first time seeing Astro. Watching this makes wanna rethink my whole web development experience in the future - like bro, I really need to get my hands with Astro.

[@r-ikik--ke]

Weird world we live in! Such an amazing tech, such an amazing presentation... but only got 14K views and only 600likes!

[@xtromp]

Awesome work, going in the right direction. My only gripe is I find the data fetching pattern suboptimal, you always get a full page load (171kb here) even if view transition make it seem only part of the app is updated. Do you plan in the future to integrate a router that would allow to only load (and cache) parts of a page? Basically I'm looking for an equivalent of astro but react only based with an optimal router, allowing Initial SSR full page load with static layout + equivalent of astro server island for the dynamic parts for SEO + only partials updates on new urls.

If your server is in front of a cache then this won't be an issue. You can even use sqlite as a cache server

[@xtromp]

Yeah but I’d rather cache partials instead of full pages and have best of both worlds.

[@adamsoderstrom8887]

@@xtromp You could achieve that with sqlite. It just depends on how you want to structure the database.

Astro is pushing forward the web not only their framework.

[@ashimov1970]

💯 though I suppose the core idea of Server Islands has been borrowed from Qwik

[@mauriciopiber]

I think that every framework starts lightweight and then the community starts adding a lot of features and in the end every one become slower than expected, and then it arises a new framework that is lightweight than the previous and life goes on but, but, but, maybe can Astro break this circle of hell and become the Lighter one?

[@nickytonline]

It was so awesome to meet the team in Montreal! Very bullish on Astro!

[@andreadiotallevi5780]

I haven't been excited about a frontend framework for a while. And now that Gatsby is doomed, it might be the best time to migrate to Astro.

[@yucelmutlusoy]

Astro is really amazing, for me, it makes much more sense than any other framework out there. Also, great presentation 👍🏼

[@maacpiash]

Does view transition work on Firefox?

[@havokgames8297]

Just discovered Astro. I think it's really great.

[@mybestmemes]

The first OSS I ever contributed to. Still my favorite❤️

[@iceniveth]

Will it be possible as well for server islands to render something as fallback just like with React suspense while it's still pending?

[@ducky.coding]

For what I've read on the post they shared, it's exactly what will do: in their example they show a default user icon being a placeholder while the actual image gets loaded

[@inderjotsingh5868]

Server Islands architecture is better than PPR 's which relies on the server to first call for the cached data , then streaming dynamic response .

[@gpk1805]

does astro view transitions work on older browsers that don't have the view transitions api built in?

[@StingSting844]

Yeah they ship a polyfill

[@FaizanAnwerAli]

I tried to understand client:only vs server:defer but still couldn't understand it.

[@benasmockus6988]

Client:only is javascipt that runs on users device, server:defer is code that fetches data from your server after page fully loads.

[@compilewithdev]

I love astro ❤

[@Taddy_Mason]

Well finally I might actually start writing this down 🥺

[@HeriJaya]

tks astro

[@MirkoSaugo]

magic. cool job guyz

[@pookiepats]

It’s crazy HTMX does all of this without a bundler

[@matiasl5265]

🎉🎉🎉

[@cultoftranquility9616]

Tried it, but feels bloat with another layer, more things to think about and more complexity , even though the end result can be good ...

[@sanjayguwaju]

👏👏👏

[@nobir98]

Glad that meta verse was a joke. I was about to loss my cool for a moment -_-

[@ashimov1970]

Astro is awesome. It is on the cutting edge of Web Tech though I suppose the core idea of Server Islands has been borrowed from Qwik
