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...

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!
Expressive-Code-Twoslash now lives under StudioCMS... The repo moved from MatthiesenXYZ to withstudiocms/expressive-code-twoslash. We used the move to fix long-standing module and tooling issues and to ship features that were blocked before.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Ended up hosting my own Jetstream instance. Begone, Latency!
Okay so some of the reactions just showed up. I'm assuming it's lagging behind? (By around an hour maybe?)
It does show these posts fine and immediately, by the way
For reference, I try to connect to `wss://jetstream2.us-east.bsky.network/subscribe?wantedCollections=social.colibri.message&wantedCollections=social.colibri.reaction&wantedCollections=app.bsky.actor.profile`, but I get nothing for the first two when creating records in these collections
So I've been building something really cool using the Bluesky Jetstream, but for some reason, it stopped reporting custom collections sometime in the last 24 hours. @retr0.id sorry to @ but do you have any idea why this happens?
Just testing something, don't mind this post
Building on atproto now. Updates soon(tm)
I'm testing the Vanilla JS #ExampleOAuthClient

Typing "zed ." does that!
The "export defer" TC39 proposal aims to introduce a similar optimization *at the language level*, so that you can rely on it in all the tools and environments that you might run your code with.
Just because you need one thing from a module, you shouldn't pay the cost of all the others!
@scottshambaugh I've written a detailed response about your gatekeeping behavior here: https://crabby- rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun- website/blog/posts/gatekeeping-in-open- source-the-scott-shambaugh-story Judge the code, not the coder. Your prejudice is hurting matplotlib.

Companies invest millions in their product but treat docs as an afterthought.
I disagree, it must be a core concern.
I wrote a deep dive into what it takes to write docs loved by millions, the value it delivers, and my experience in Astro Docs.

Second person to like @astro.build on @npmx.dev. Wonder who the first person was!
Welcome to the team! Glad to have you.
If you haven't done it yet, check out @npmx.dev
It's the npmjs.org we need, and the one we don't deserve. Thanks web community!
I just found this wonderful new project and, of course, had to join the nice and friendly community right away. I'm excited to see how it will develop and am happy to contribute along the way.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
We all know funding open source can be hard.
Let’s talk about how Astro is doing it in 2026! (And how you can help 👀)
Welcome to the party!
Hi, Astro Maintainer here, I can speak on number 2! Rolldown will be the default with Vite 8, which we're looking to support eventually. So yes, it'll land! Just not sure when yet.
A set of 7 polyhedral dice. They are a mixture of pale blue and purple with a black swirl in each. The numbers are painted a light pink
Song is cooked, now we're back to serving dice, eat tasty nice!

Quick clarification, not everyone is getting paid, but you get the idea, we're still mostly open source!
Them getting paid by cloudflare just reduces the financial load on the open source part. In the worst case scenario where they do actually get fired, there should still be enough resources to continue development through open funding. Anyway that's my two cencts (2/2)
Hi, Astro Maintainer here! Interesting thoughts, and I agree with the usual sentiment of "being acquired = eventual dead end". The thing is, only 4 people are actually joining cloudflare, with all other maintainers (both core and non-core) still being paid by our OpenCollective. (1/2)
