nothing makes me miss Astro more than working with other systems. They just don't do it as good IMO

Astro is our preferred front-end platform
We’ve tried every combination of front-end platform and back-end integration you can think of over the years, but nothing has been as consistently excellent than Astro for us.

I'm going to be launching something pretty big next week, which just happens to include a new atproto AppView, labeler, blob proxy, lexicons. It will have tens of thousands of users, most of whom won't even know they're using atproto, or have even heard of it.

Why don't most of us author blog posts as word document (like .odt) files? Why do people prefer markdown? I don't get it.

That's how you'll create a **JavaScript** plugin with @biomejs.dev Coming soon...
The code needed to create a JavaScript plugin in Biome 

import { ast, defineRule, registerDiagnostic } from "@biomejs/runtime/plugin";
export const useMyPlugin = defineRule({

		registerDiagnostic(root, "information", "Hello, world!");
	},

Today niri became 3 years old! 🎉 I implemented and merged animations for windows moving between workspaces. This was the last *major* missing anim. Took so long because it's tricky with Z ordering (moving windows must be on top of everything), clipping, and syncing 3 different animations. #niri

Replies are the only thing that matters on a *social* network. Without replies it's a microblog. This is the only thing that Bluesky should be focusing on. Stop promoting AT. Stop all other projects. Stop fixing bugs. Focus only on things that lead to replies.

@astro.build Is really cool. I like that it actually generates HTML, rather than generating JS that *then* generates HTML (but you can still add in reactive JS with their "islands" concept if you want).

When I say that modularity & composability are now crucial as large, coupled codebases consume more context, I see raised eyebrows. Meanwhile, they are constantly running out of tokens while I haven't hit a usage limit in months. If you think architecture no longer matters, joke’s on you.
