Astro 6 is here! We completely rebuilt the Astro dev server and build pipeline onto a new, more powerful runtime-agnostic architecture.
Plus: New Fonts API, CSP support, an experimental new Rust compiler, and more...

qring.org/privacy-poli... their privacy policy is literally a todo what is this???
Yay gadgetbridge now has health connect support, so I can set up my very cool 30€ smart ring to automatically forward steps and sleep to Google fit without their sketchy app.
The Sanitizer API landed in Firefox 148, along with element.setHTML().
This lets you fully configure how HTML strings are cleaned as they're parsed.

npmx.dev now has 2000 stars, with a bunch of emoji reactions from the community
2000 stars! 🥳

pdsls.dev showing npmx.social as my new PDS
nice
shadow DOM implies the exists of shadow sub
I have pushed Maudit to @tangled.org to try it out: tangled.org/erika.floris...
May its frontend performance always be better than GitHub
hey bluesky 👋

Lol i'm now just imagining a "Pay later with Klarna" next to it
a google search for a bunch of AI products, but the word AI is replaced with "pants", featuring hits like "Create Your Own App with pants" and "Build pants-powered-tools with Retool pants"
a google search of a bunch of youtube video results, but the word AI is replaced with "pants", featuring hits like "I Tested 100+ pants Tools, These 11 Will Make you Rich in 2026"
I made a Chrome extension that replaces all instances of the word "AI" with "pants"
What is everyone excited for in #fosdem? I have a few talks eyed out but have a lot of open time between them.
I haven't had the best luck at navigating it the previous years but will have to!
Astro 5.17 is now available!
Move the dev toolbar, partition your cookies (we had to look it up too, no worries) and create the images of your dreams with cool new optimization options.
There are some great people, @yanthomas.dev included, looking for their next adventure!
Oh hey, and me included, too! I'm not in a rush, but keeping my eye out for the right opportunity in docs or community leadership. If you've liked using or contributing to Astro, maybe part of that came from me!
Introducing the Astro 6.0 Beta.
- Redesigned dev server: run against the same runtime you deploy to
- First-class Cloudflare Workers support with workerd
- Stable Content Security Policy and Live Collections
It's never been a beta time to try Astro 👀
💡 CSS Tip!
Two circles, one arrow, and CSS magic. 🪄
A cool demo packed with modern features (anchor positioning, attr(), container queries, shape(), and more!) 🤩

The shape and position of the arrow are fully controlled using CSS (Yes, there is a collision detection).
Relatable
A partial screenshot of a GitHub PR that has been merged. The PR title is "Environment API". The next alpha/beta of Astro v6 will support Vite Environment APIs.
It's merged! The next alpha/beta release @astro.build will support @vite.dev Environment APIs!
It took a long time because we had to re-architect the whole rendering pipeline. With this, even the @cloudflare.social Vite Plugin will work out of the box!
Whooops you are right, building it fails with something about `rollupOptions.input`. Should have tested that.
But dev seems to work flawlessly for me (although it is the purely static setup with no adapters or other stuff)
Out of curiosity tested out @vite.dev 8 on my huge @astro.build project that has been around since it still used snowpack, it just worked with an override and dev has never been this snappy before!
Great work to everyone involved!
⚡️ The first Vite 8.0 beta is here!
- Powered by Rolldown, bringing significantly faster production builds and more consistency
- New features such as tsconfig paths or emitDecoratorMetadata support
- Bumping browser targets aligned with Baseline Widely Available

Don't know if it's just placebo, but re-pasting my laptop (it was so dry, I almost had to scrape it off lol) seems to have fixed almost all of my gaming stuttering issues, even though I have a beefy GPU and the CPU wasn't even at 50%.
I guess it was just throttling whatever thunderbolt uses.
I said there would never be an htmx 3.0
but I never said anything about an htmx 4.0

Found it 20 mins ago but @typst.app is sooooo good.
I can't believe I have spent the best half of my studies fighting with word for my coding courses.
If you ever have used word, this is all you need to hear:
You write `#outline(title: "Table Of Contents", depth: 1)` and it just... works.
Yay grats!
Nah just tack on a full IDE in case you want to add a bit of code to your notes :P
Finally making @1password.bsky.social work well in devcontainers.
