My motivation for completing Frontend Mentor's Contact form challenge was to test-drive my field and form packages. I also recently started using and enjoying Astro so I wanted to explore what it would be like to use it as my frontend workshop environment. I even ended up experimenting with Makefiles, Nushell, and Nix flakes within this project. Overall, I learned a lot and gained some new skills. In this post I'm... - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago

The data from HTTP Archive and Chrome UX Report cited on astro.build gives us a clear picture. Only 44% of WordPress sites pass Core Web Vitals benchmarks, while Astro (unsurprisingly) leads the pack at 63%. - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago

I recently remade my website (I know, I know) and I got a surprise when getting to reimplement an rss feed because, while Astro has a module that helps with generating an rss feed, Nuxt doesn't - at least not for V3 and consequently V4. But worry not, for making one is easy enough ! - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

For awareness, if you want to build a SSG/SSR frontend, there's also [Astro](https://astro.build/) It lets you ship client islands to the client, which AFAIK is essentially partial hydration. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Enter Astro. Astro allowed me to build a page from any URL pattern, server-side, include complex js driven divs, but have a 90+ lighthouse score. It still uses tailwindcss it still can use any js modules or functions that the SPA uses. So it was familiar. It did not require a whole re-think. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

Using a portable minimal markdown dependency (such as cmark [1]) I think markdown can be quite a low barrier here. I personally do similar to what you have described on my blog, with an additional cmark conversion and find it quite simple [2].

I use GNU make. Write content in markdown, feed it to https://github.com/commonmark/cmark to create html. I intended to splice files together using xslt but echo and cat written in the makefile sufficed. I'm not totally sure I'd recommend that but I do like the markdown => html flow. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I seem to be in the middle of trying to build something similar to this. I want it to run on an android phone but otherwise the same sort of idea, offline-first information I want access to. There's some weirdness around android browsers refusing to load html from the phone itself on security grounds. The OP uses a "progressive web app" which seems to be the proper way to do this at some point in the past, but... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Yeah no doubt it, although in this case the C implementation has been a long running project that's under the official commonmark GitHub repo at https://github.com/commonmark/cmark. But I think the most important thing here is an Elixir NIF already exists to use it. The blog post as is leaves readers having to implement ~100 lines of Elixir code to use the Rust version because the authors of blog post didn't... - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

I'm confused about how to use a c library (specifically, cmark) from zig. Source: about 4 years ago
