Another great video! Straight to the point and still easy to understand as usual!

Best video about astro I've ever seen

[medivix]

I reach you content searching stuff about Astro but in the end I've learn how to use Turso a little too.
You're as fast as Fireship but in the end, user can get a good idea about new tools: that's all that matter, thanks for your good content !

[armant]

Video immediately makes me think Fireship. Similar style but slightly longer video. Inevitable that his style would have been "adopted" for these kinds of videos.

Great zero-to-Astro vid!

Nitpick: Instead of using a section to wrap form elements, a form will enable other fields than the save button to submit the form. Instead, use the onSubmit on the form. The example given in the video may even warrant using a plain old form without Solid JS, because of the simplicity in the implementation.

I never really got the sentiment that Astro is a good replacement for full-stack applications, at least not in the same vain that Next.js is. As soon as you needed authentication, the only resource I was able to find was a hardly maintained OSS library. Looks like there's an Auth JS core library now, which could possibly be made into a video.

I saw solidjs in integration part of astro config

As a junior dev, some of this is really hard to wrap my head around, but everyone raves about Astro, so I would love to learn more about it. I guess i'm just having a hard time understanding what benefit there is from using Astro with your existing framework (such as SolidJS).. Am I dumb?? BTW congrats on your work with the Deno YT channel! As always, great vid!

What software do you use for animation? I like it and would like to use it.

[MarekLichtner]

Great, can you do this app in remix 2 (released week ago) a compare these two frameworks?

[samlee]

Im confused on something csn someone help?

Let’s say you have a React component that you put into an Astro component and add the client:load directive. Does that mean the jsx for the React component is sent from the server as html and then just the event listeners are hydrated, or does the entire component revert to default React, where it sends as a blank html and then hydrate’s on the client?

[MikeNugget]

Islands and hydration in Astro look a little bit overwhelming. Why not just to use Nuxt with it's versatile composables?

[hoaxygen]

I've been using Astro and it's honestly not anything mind-blowing, it's just fine. It does some neat things but it needs better TypeScript support and better props support for its own .astro components. I can also see how its documentation can also be a bit confusing for web dev beginners, particularly figuring out what runs on the server vs what runs on the client. We'll see how it matures.

bro im planning to create a new blog website of mine and im having analysis paralysis between nextjs and astro, im from react. i cant decide.

[stln]

Another great video. How would you compare this to remix?

[TheBejbiborn]

Which vscode theme / UI plugins are you using? I love how your editor looks.

[sirisaac]

Whats your tech stack for editing these videos?

[bobweiram]

We need a moratorium on new JavaScript frameworks. It's getting beyond ridiculous.

[kumekster]

Hi, do you provide link to github project?

[ayoubkrt]

im just here to say
QWIK
but nice video on astro, looks very cool, but to me nothing seems to be cooler than qwik and what it does in the background for the dev

[TechBuddy_]

Holy crap that was dense 😯 awesome work ❤ you are copying beyond fireship now 😂
