    We unfortunately released Astro 6 only a few weeks before Vite 8 / Rolldown came out, which is why we did Astro 7 so soon. But there are very few breaking changes compared to Astro…

    How many pages is it? The performance improvements are mostly for larger sites (thousands of pages) and especially when using a lot of MDX. We're working on incremental builds whic…

    Can someone explain the whole thing about wanting to attach it to your phone? Why? What does this provide over just putting it in your pocket?

    Ok sure, the "never" was a bit strong here. Running CLIs on phones is not a normal thing and not as simple as it is on desktop. Apple prohibits apps from downloading and executing …

    Ok, I can see there's a new (to me) Customize section where you can install skills. You have been able to connect MCP servers for quite a while. The UX here isn't great, but let's …

    Walk me through how a user installs and then uses these CLIs from their mobile phone.

    How is the user installing the CLIs? Proprietary app store for each chat app?

    Please keep in mind that CLIs do not run on mobile and never will. This is the elephant in the room that nearly everypne seems to be ignoring. This "debate" is built around the ass…

    Every new generation thinks things were better when they were young. Personally I liked the internet of the mid to late 90s, just as the web was overtaking AOL. By the mid 2010s, w…

    This limits AI usage to desktops, and mostly technical oriented tasks. MCP let's you connect to your email, shop, etc, from phone chat apps.

    Yeah, I didn't take it that way, just thought it was worth clarifying that this isn't a case of AI hitting a wall or anything like that, I just went down other rabbit holes.

    The reason it's only 73% is because I prioritized fun stuff like self hosting and platform binaries. I think finishing off the standards would only take a few more hours (except ev…

    I have a preview release ready, if you scroll down you'll see the instructions. If you're able to try it out and leave a comment on whether it fixes your issue it'd be a big help.

    Sorry we haven't fixed this issue sooner. In this case it's a complicated CSS issue, but nevertheless I've got a fix I'm working on here: https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/15…

    Hey, I'm the author of this doc. The reason for the pattern is to make it so you always can find why a mutation occured. So combining state variables and dom changes is ok as long …

    Writing a language, even a DSL is a lot of work. It's not enough to just make a good language, there's also a whole world of tooling support that people expect nowadays. Also ultim…

    First, we have just launched and are still figuring out pricing, this is a great point of feedback that we'll consider, thank you. What differentiates Astro DB is the deep integrat…

    This is a very good question! One of the big reasons we partnered with Turso was for their edge network, so replicas are available close to your origin server. Being able to host a…
