clack 1.6.0 is out. keyboard hints on select menus, cleaner note() output, and a handful of fixes that make multiline + password prompts behave the way you'd expect. big thanks to @florian-lefebvre.dev for helping ship this 💣

I'm currently considering giving an @astro.build talk but I'm unsure what to talk about. What would you want to learn, discover, or explore further?

I added support for optimized fallbacks just now! leturgero.web-runes.dev/reference/cl...

Today I'm launching Leturgerð! Pick a font family, its properties and download it. Hook it up in your project and you're good to go. CLI + docs, works for any web project. Check it out: leturgero.web-runes.dev

Today I’m launching Vite Deploy! A minimal deployment primitive for @vite.dev apps: deploy anywhere, whether your app is static, server-rendered, or both. It’s designed to integrate easily with other tools: Hono, @tanstack.com Start... Check it out: vite-deploy.web-runes.dev

First time I went on a podcast, thanks for having me! If you want to know more about what it's like to write docs as an open-source dev, check it out!

Biome invests where it matters. @sarah11918.rainsberger.ca and @yanthomas.dev will join to improve our docs! biomejs.dev/blog/collabo...

Today I'm launching astro.jobs! It's an unofficial job board for the @astro.build ecosystem. If you're looking for a job or if you have open positions related to Astro, check it out!

Just finished preparing my talk, see you on Thursday! We'll talk about the Fonts API, including how it works under the hood

1M downloads, crazy! Was really a good idea to collab on this with @43081j.com for @e18e.dev

Forgive me, gonna do some shameless reposting because a) aww.... and b) you might not realize that I'm open to fun, meaningful, *scoped and short-term* projects where I can help you help your docs/community! Not "hiring"? No problem! Maybe you just need someone to stay until the wind changes...

Who’s in London next month? Come hang out with the Astro core team! Sign up now: luma.com/lzh944vx

And with that, so ends my last day w Astro Docs. So proud of the docs our community made, & honoured I had the chance to lead them. Open to new adventures in docs/community. If you liked learning, using, or contributing to Astro...maybe some of that was me! Maybe I can bring that to your project!

A little increase

It's going well npmx.dev/package/tiny...

Don’t wait Don’t hesitate It’s time to update to Starlight 0.38

@astro.build v6 uses @clack/prompts thanks to some help from our friends at @e18e.dev. Congrats on the big release! This is a beautiful full circle moment—clack was inspired by our work on the original `create-astro` CLI. Thrilled to finally upstream it! Open source is better together! 🚀

A lot of work into this and I'm really proud of what we've done! Check it out!

good downloads graph 👀

Was great to collab with James on this!

LAUNCH WEEK RECAP -- Here's everything we launched this week:

We have a new Technical Steering Committee (TSC)! Welcome core maintainers @ematipico.xyz @florian-lefebvre.dev and @mk.gg to the Astro TSC to guide Astro's technical direction and ensure a healthy codebase for many years to come. See thread for more details!

Set sail with the latest Starlight release! ⚓ Built-in heading anchor links 🌬️ Tailwind 4 support 🌊 CSS cascade layers 🌚 Improved `<head>` APIs Learn more: astro.build/blog/starlig...

The sun is setting as launch week nears the end... Monday — Ecosystem Party 🥳 Tuesday — 4...3...2...1... 5.7 🚀 Wednesday — Meet the new features 🔬 Thursday — Stellar updates for your docs 💫 Friday — ???

In Astro 5.7, every SVG is an Astro component! Import it, use it in your page and it will be inlined in the HTML. You can even pass it any SVG props. Learn more: astro.build/blog/astro-5...

New in Astro 5.7, the Sessions API lets you store user data securely on the server, without the limitations of cookies. Great for shopping carts, user settings, form state, and lots more.

Don't send all your users' data to the broligarchs. The Astro Fonts API downloads and caches fonts so they're served from your site, not an ad company's. Better for CLS *and* GDPR.

Automatic fallback fonts avoid painful layout jumps, and preloads get your most important fonts ready from the first load. Customize them to your heart's content, with subsetting and all the typographic features you can dream of. Learn more here:

New in Astro 5.7: the experimental Fonts API. Say goodbye to boring fonts. Built for performance, privacy and ease of use, the API makes it simple to add beautiful custom fonts to your site.

We're halfway through launch week! Time for a closer look. Monday — Ecosystem Party 🥳 Tuesday — 4...3...2...1... 5.7 🚀 Wednesday — Meet the new features 🔬 Thursday — ??? Friday — ???

I've been working on fonts since the start of the year and it's finally ready! Check it out!
