Very excited to share this. Experimental session support in Astro. With Astro.session we're aiming to make sessions as easy as they are in PHP and Rails. It's experimental now, but please try it out and let me know how you get on. Thanks to @unjs.io for unstorage which powers the actual storage.

Writing the Jamstack chapter for the 2024 Web Almanac report this year was eye-opening. The standout: the average Astro site has a JavaScript footprint that's 72% lighter than Next.js 🀯 almanac.httparchive.org/en/2024/jams...

ikea.com now on Astro. Heard it was as easy to build as my bookshelf πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

The 2024 Web Almanac is out (some chapters still TBD). almanac.httparchive.org/en/2024/ At a glance, the Performance section shows 75% of mobile users see 3 seconds of blocked user interactivity, which is typically due to bloat/over-reliance on JavaScript. almanac.httparchive.org/en/2024/perf...

For the latest Starlight release, Astro maintainers @hideoo.bsky.social and @hippotastic.bsky.social dug into performance and accessibility. Enjoy up to 35% faster builds and improved accessible markup for our Aside and Tabs components. Make your next docs site shine at starlight.astro.build/ ✨

Did you know all the cool things @astro.build maintainers have built outside of Astro? The Astro Starter Pack contains all our maintainers on Bluesky, and so many of them have cool, funky side projects on the go. Give them a follow and discover their stuff! bsky.app/starter-pack...

Actions in @astro.build are going to get better real soon! πŸ”₯ It's going to require a few more iterations, but we are going to land a good architecture, with flexible APIs.

Seriously, #nobuild is not the only solution. We needed a better abstraction on top of the build tools. This is Vite, and with Vite Ruby, it works with #Rails like a charm. vite-ruby.netlify.app
