5 day old repo, 2000 stars on GitHub, 400 total weekly downloads on npm. Frontpage of hacker news with a bunch of weird comments. Moderation has been lacking recently.

I'm not sure which comments you're finding weird, but I spot checked a bunch and didn't see anything that looked particularly bogus, other than https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47026348 and some trollish ephemera.

The upvotes on the submission look legit to me, as does the submission itself.

how do you contrast this with https://picocss.com/ ? I like your presentation of the components, but i'm having trouble finding the essential distinctions

I often use Pico CSS, and a comparison would be nice.

You should try making a site with Astro. Load speed is cray cray.

Yeah I’m a recent Astro convert. To be fair, any static site will have this effect. It’s just everyone is using react to make landing pages now.

React sites are easily static.

AI Slop, basically a couple of LLM prompts will generate similar shit now.

Genuine question, do you normally use old browsers as your daily driver for interfacing with the web? I’d be interested in learning why.

Presumably it's relevant not because they use old browsers but because some of their software's users do. And I doubt most of them have a reason for doing so.

That makes sense. As a solo dev for my side projects, I’ve intentionally decided to not support legacy browsers, which I understand bugs some folks (weirdly, usually the super tech minded types you find in here) but I’m just one guy and I have a hard time seeing the value in these user segments being worth the squeeze.

Static or pre-rendered static? I rarely come across the latter, but the former is pretty common.

I don't know if you're demonstrating reductio ad absurdum, but maybe that's because they are genuine? As people in the thread have pointed out, the author as well as their company is pretty well-known in software circles. They have had multiple projects discussed on HN in the past[1]. 2000 stars is not a lot given that [2]. I fail to understand why a ton of breathless blog posts about the process of AI-assisted codin…

Presentation is good too. Thanks These are the kind of comments you see from Indians paid to boost Youtube content.

Those are fairly normal comments around here.

I love it. We need to see more of this.

I'm not a web dev, what do you love about it?

It leverages semantic html elements for styling… it may not seem like a huge deal on the surface, but it’s very useful in keeping html page sizes down, keeping the html itself simple to use, and so on.

there are other similar projects out, and i like them too.

What makes Astro fast isn't just that it's static, it's that it automatically pre-renders and it doesn't ship a runtime. React can render to static as well, it just also ships the React runtime.
