One of these days, I won't be able to keep up with the amazing @astro.build community... but I live to fight another month! astro.build/blog/whats-n...

Please welcome ImageKit as Astro’s new Official Image Partner! Thank you ImageKit for supporting our open source mission 💖

I've been experimenting with an upcoming CSS feature called border-shape lately. It's really cool what you can do with it: lots of practical applications + it opens a lot of doors for non-rectangular UIs! Try it in Canary w/experimental web platform features on, & read more: una.im/border-shape

Honored to be speaking at v-tokyo meetup! I’ll be diving deep into Astro Island Architecture 🏝 so excited! vuejs-meetup.connpass.com/event/385025/

To clarify, even some "company-backed open source projects" relies on community maintainers. And so, this doesn't mean that maintainers are available at all times! We're all humans, we do the best we can. I think this is more an issue with people thinking that OSS projects are regular companies...

I'm going to be at @vuejsamsterdam.bsky.social next month, talking all about Astro 6. Say hi if you're there! There's a load of new stuff added to the release since I last spoke about it, so I've a lot to share. vuejs.amsterdam/program

An interesting reading on how AI can slow others down and increase their workload.

this is fascinating this agent opened prs to projects from @43081j.com, @pi0.io, @katt.dev, @vite.dev, @bsky.app, @playwright.dev... and many more many of them were merged (many closed, too!)

It looks like style() container queries are enabled in @firefoxnightly.bsky.social - this is one of the features I'm looking forward to most. Especially with range queries starting to roll out. @ container style(--progress > 80%) { background: green; } bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

Companies invest millions in their product but treat docs as an afterthought. I disagree, it must be a core concern. I wrote a deep dive into what it takes to write docs loved by millions, the value it delivers, and my experience in Astro Docs. yanthomas.dev/articles/doc...

Astro 5.17 is now available! Move the dev toolbar, partition your cookies (we had to look it up too, no worries) and create the images of your dreams with cool new optimization options.

There are some great people, @yanthomas.dev included, looking for their next adventure! Oh hey, and me included, too! I'm not in a rush, but keeping my eye out for the right opportunity in docs or community leadership. If you've liked using or contributing to Astro, maybe part of that came from me!

I finally decided to create my Bluesky account. I probably won't be very active, just as I wasn't on other social networks when I was on them. But let's give it a try...

We all know funding open source can be hard. Let’s talk about how Astro is doing it in 2026! (And how you can help 👀)
