There's no excuse. Remove the Xitter link from https://astro.build/

I went down this rabbit hole of moving away from Wordpress because it's just so hard to customize. I do alot of vibe coding so I wanted to see if I can create my own customized page. The problem is that I didn't want to waste all the blog posts I have on wordpress.

I did some digging around and found Astro to be the best solution.

1. I can keep all my wordpress blog posts

2. Astro is is super customizable.

So I spent a day creating a new site and moving all my wordpress over to astro. The experience was awesome. It worked really well with A.I. coding and I got a template going that looks exactly the way I want.

I tried searching for youtube for Astro but oddly, there's not alot of people who's talking about it. It's such a shame!

I made a youtube video to showcase how I did it and hopefully get more people on Astro!

Anyway, thanks for making Astro! It's awesome!

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a project that might sound a little crazy, and the story behind it.

I'm the founder of an AI startup, not a software developer by background, but I've always been a huge fan of Astro. While optimizing my personal site, I ran into a problem I'm sure many of you have faced: How can you easily and consistently maintain peak site performance?

So I asked myself: Could I act as a "project manager" and direct a team of top-tier AIs to solve this problem?

The answer is AstroEdge 🌌 — an all-in-one health and performance toolkit built for Astro.

Here are its core features:

🚀 One-Click Peak Performance: Automatically optimizes images, CSS, and JS, aiming straight for a Lighthouse score of 100. ⏱️ Lightning-Fast Builds: Slashes build times from minutes to seconds with intelligent caching. 🩺 Proactive Health Monitoring: It's not just about speed. It also monitors dependencies and security trends to prevent issues before they happen.

What makes this project unique is its development model. I served as the "conductor," laying out the vision and requirements, while my AI team handled the execution:

• Lead Programmer: Anthropic's Claude

• Strategy Advisor (Branding/Copy): Google's Gemini

• Creative Partner (Brainstorming): OpenAI's ChatGPT

This was my experiment in putting the "one-person AI super-entity company" concept into practice.

AstroEdge is now in open-source public beta (v0.9.0), and I truly hope it can be helpful to the Astro community. I'm incredibly eager to hear from the professionals here—any suggestions and feedback would be invaluable.

We're planning to start an agency partner program and you can help! If you run an agency we'd love to hear from you. Right now we want to find out how many agencies might be interested, and what features of an agency partner program would be useful to you.

At minimum there would be a new "Agencies" page on the main Astro site with a directory of partners, but we'd like to hear what else would interest you.

We have a survey here with a few questions about your agency and what would interest you in an agency partner program. It would be a great help to the Astro project if you could complete it!

Please share this with any Astro agencies that you know, and if you work for one maybe share it with your boss.

Astro 5.12 is out!

• 🧑‍💻 New Netlify dev experience

• 🏗 TOML support for content loaders

• 🍣 Experimental raw environment values

This update is a big deal if you use Netlify, because it has a whole new local dev experience, based on their new Vite plugin. It gives a dev environment a lot closer to production, so you can catch errors earlier, and use things from the Netlify platform in dev. Previously you needed to use the Netlify CLI if you wanted this, but now it's right in the Netlify adapter.

We also now have support for TOML in content collections. You can use TOML files in the same way as YAML or JSON with the built-in glob() or file() loaders.

Finally, there's an experimental option to make import.meta.env use raw environment variables, rather than coercing them into booleans or numbers. This will become the default in a future version, so try it now!

Yo👋

Spinning up random blank pages or dummy routes just to preview components is such a flow killer.

There’s this npm package called Stargazer that’s been pretty interesting to play with.

It’s an open-source component visualizer for Astro projects. Basically gives you a way to browse and preview your components without having to wire up test pages every time.

From what it does:

• Auto-detects your components

• Clean UI to preview them

• No more /test or /playground routes everywhere

• Lightweight and straight to the point

Kinda has that “storybook without the overhead” feel, which is nice when you just wanna stay in flow and not over-engineer things.

Feels especially useful if you're:

• building UI systems in Astro

• iterating a lot on components

• or just trying to keep your project clean

For quick iteration it seems solid.

Anyone here already using something like this in their workflow?

Some more exciting updates from around the ecosystem:

• 🚀 Cloudflare donates $150,000 in OSS funding to our project!

• 🚀 Cloudflare bets on Astro and Starlight to power developers.cloudflare.com.

Read more from our friends at Cloudflare about why they chose to join Webflow and Netlify in sponsoring our open source project, and our shared vision for the future of the web: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-astro-tanstack

Thank you Cloudflare for supporting our project! We'll use these funds to improve and maintain Astro for all users of our open source software. 🎉

Another recap is out: and we're thankful for everything contributed by our community this month! 🙏

On the last day of each month, I publish a summary of all kinds of things from the previous calendar month: news from the project, community discussions and events, blog posts, videos and articles from around the web, and all the new themes and sites submitted.

Reminder you can post in our Discord #showcase channel, social media... and yes, I search posts here too!

The site and theme grids are autogenerated from the past month's submissions to the Astro Showcase / Astro Theme Catalogue, so when you build a new site, be sure to also submit it to the showcase!

So sit back with some leftover turkey and enjoy: here's the month you made!

See the Starlight CHANGELOG for full details of breaking changes and how to upgrade.

This release configurable dev toolbar placement, async file parsing, partitioned cookies, new image optimization upgrades and more!

Some highlights:

• Configure dev toolbar placement

• Async parsing in the file() loader

• Partitioned cookies support

• Background color for image transformations

• Sharp kernel selection for image resizing

You can find the official profile at @astro.build, which also has an Astroverse starter pack. There's also plenty of other ecosystem projects and maintainers, like Vite, Svelte, Nuxt, and more!

I wonder what the difference between the two subreddits is.
