I absolutely love Astro, and it's my default for new projects. And I honestly feel like it's the only framework using React/Vue for their intended purposes; which is as an interactive layer on top of your SSR UI.

I've only ever experienced a big earthquake once, which was in Bangkok a couple of months ago. And if I had known it was an earthquake, I probably would've reacted differently. Not knowing what was happening, and genuinely thinking my building was about to collapse on top of me was one of the scariest feelings in my life.

This what earthquake causes sometimes. So knowing that it was an earthquake would not change it, would it?

It would, because then at least you know it's an earthquake, and you kind of know what to expect. Not know it was an earthquake, and wondering why your building is shaking and making so much noise, thinking you're about to die in some freak building collapse is pretty terrifying.

I moved away from Next.js, and switched to Astro. Originally I just wanted to go back to basics, but didn't want to bother with having to set up all my routes, templating, serving static assets, build tasks. Astro just handles all that, and it's SSR by default.

I also feel that Astro uses React/Vue as it was intended, as an interactive layer on top of HTML. It also made me realize how little I needed JS frameworks to begin with.

Next just started to feel like to much magic, the server actions felt weird, and just lots of things that required the "NextJS way".

I tried various astro sites, and as a user, a few things keep bugging me. - Visit their docs https://docs.astro.build/en/basics/astro-pages/ - Click `Routes` in the navigation

Now: 1. There's a flicker in the content where the sidebar moves on the left 2. The title displays `docs.astro.build` for a split second before it says "Routing | Docs"

Especially the second is quite annoying. I see it in every Astro site.

That seems to be mostly because of the way they've implemented their docs. It's definitely not something I have with my own sites.

The flicker seems to be because the collapsible nav items are done on the client, and closed by default.

I'm not sure where the title issues are coming from.

Here is one Astro site https://mayo.clumsy.fish/ with no flickers. Astro is pretty good but after trying RSCs I'm not going back.

I recently completed https://askannie.it.com, at first it was just a tool that I used myself after constantly copy/pasting YouTube transcripts into ChatGPT. A couple of friends liked it, so ended up building an app around it.

For a next project I'm exploring building something that let's you quickly embed charts. Similar to what Google Charts was, but I still haven't found a good alternative.

Great work, I've been using Stock Events on iOS for a while now. It's what got me into dividend investing, and it's fantastic to just keep track off all the dividend income.

Thank you so much! That's very kind of you. Good luck on your journey.

Really fun, I love playing GeoGuessr, but really like the idea of using videos.

Some notes on the UI:

* I found the 50/50 split between video / map a bit annoying, especially on a 13" MacBook

* The volume slider takes up a lot of valuable space, and felt like your normal scrubber to scroll through the video

* Once you confirm a location, the whole UI changes again

* Overall (especially on my smaller screen), there was a lot of scrolling involved to get to buttons

I’m in Bangkok right now, didn’t even think about it being an earthquake and thought my building was coming down. Sprinted out of the building, watching our rooftop pool collapse and rain down debris and water.

I think that’s the most scared I’ve ever been, thinking that was it for me.

Drowning multiple floors above sea level due to an earth quake. That’s insane!

I constantly run multiple projects without issues. Usually it’s both front- and back-end. I just assign random ports.

Same goes for databases, I just map it to a different port.

You might be interested in Astro (https://astro.build/), I've build my first project with it, and it's great to somewhat go back to basics, but without needing to set up my own server with templating and tasks for static assets, etc...

upvoting astro :)

some basics and nothing else to start. then you can go as deep as you want down the rabbit hole :)

but it's completely on you

+1, Astro is absolute magic

I know it won’t be popular, but I would honestly love to have a social network that’s purely just what my friends/family post. No suggested content, no algorithmic feed, no reacting to posts. Just purely whatever they post and ability to leave a comment.

That is very doable as a groupchat or a private mastodon or lemmy instance. Invite your family and friends, don't federate with the wider fediverse.
