We had @andersmurphy.bsky.social back on the pod to discuss his One Billion Checkboxes and other demos. youtu.be/DFYuHGKMit8

Going back to fundamentals and building a completely custom merch store using Datastar and Go has been extremely gratifying. Here’s the end result. data-star.dev/shop

Blinksy just learned to redraw itself on Checkboxes when things get out of sync. It has achieved sentience. I am now obsolete.

Datastar demos have started cross-pollinating. Soon they’ll form a hive mind and ship the next release themselves. Blinksy: play.putyourlightson.com/blinksy Checkboxes: checkboxes.andersmurphy.com?x=1312&y=1310

Dot All 2025 was a wonderful event (big thanks to @leahstephenson.bsky.social and the entire @craftcms.com crew)!! In case you missed it, here’s my recap. putyourlightson.com/articles/dot...

This feels like the right move and the right way to make it happen. Great decision!!

Having a blast making some final demos for my upcoming #CraftCMS talk at Dot All Lisbon 🇵🇹, using Datastar.

My upcoming #CraftCMS Dot All conference talk will feature real-time demos with audience participation. This is me load testing 100 virtual users, each clicking on a random cell to toggle it on/off every 1 second. The CPU purrs along at 100% and memory remains well within capacity.

Just published a Datastar & #CraftCMS Demo site with source code for common patterns such as live search, pagination, load more, and filters. craftcms.data-star.dev

Load testing a VPS ahead of my upcoming #CraftCMS conference talk, in which I’ll be inviting audience participation. This tests up to 100 users hitting the server every second for 30s. Datastar has no problem receiving almost 90MB in over 1k events, and the server purrs along at 100% CPU.

Inspector... Rocket... Stellar... Laravel... you’d think we were building a spaceship instead of a frontend framework! youtu.be/AH1-1BIR2wk

I love simple, transparent benchmarks, and this one doesn’t disappoint: measuring the time to swap large numbers of DOM elements. The repo can be forked and tests varied thanks to excellent work by Zach Williams 🚀 github.com/zachwill/ben...

Great conversation with @data-star.dev on launching Datastar V1 🚀 youtu.be/u0I7f6NMZvk

A big shout out to @arcustech.com for supporting the cause by sponsoring Datastar with a 2 GB, 2 core, self-hosted VPS, which has been performing exceptionally well with all the traffic recently received 🚀

The Datastar package for @laravel.com has been updated with all the goodies that shipped in Datastar v1.0.0-RC.1. Read the release notes (some breaking changes included) and check out the new docs 🚀 github.com/putyourlight...

The Datastar plugin for @craftcms.com has been updated for all the goodies that shipped in Datastar v1.0.0-RC.1. Read the release notes (some breaking changes included) and check out the new docs 🚀 putyourlightson.com/plugins/data...

Louis Sunchine is livestreaming a Datastar V1 release party 🎉 Come hang out!! www.twitch.tv/arum_titan

It finally happened – we launched the new Datastar site and V1 (RC) 🚀 It’s been an incredible journey, and I feel honoured to be working with people like @data-star.dev and Johnny Stevers. And there’s so much more yet to come!! data-star.dev

In which we discuss internal changes that are making everything better, while pushing to make everything ready for a public release candidate of Datastar... youtu.be/tNH3Tyc1s1k

We discussed making Datastar videos and building demos with the very French, very upbeat Louis Sunshine 🇫🇷☀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib0n...

Datastar is developed and maintained by a handful of core contributors and backed by Star Federation—a nonprofit organization. We added the ability to sponsor our work just a few days ago, and WOW is the community showing its support!! Take a peek 👀 github.com/sponsors/sta...

To become a billionaire: Step 1: Become a millionaire. Step 2: Do that 999 more times. Easy. #datastar

The Blitz Hints utility, first introduced three years ago, has been retired in version 5.10.0. #CraftCMS putyourlightson.com/articles/one...

In this episode we discussed the Game of Life demo that was featured on Hacker News with Anders Murphy, Clojure, and making the most of Datastar. (Also on the podcast players.) #datastar #hypermedia #clojure youtu.be/xzC3g0qIRro

In this episode we discussed surviving Hacker News, and spoke with Johnny “Zignals” about getting more performance out of less code. #datastar #hypermedia #framework youtu.be/x_Hu30V01iY

Datastar was featured in this week’s Changelog news 🚀

Added a videos page to the Datastar site – embedding lots of YouTube videos makes page loads extremely slow, so guess what we’re doing instead... using `data-on-click` to only load the player when thumbnails are clicked. Dogfooding is the best 🚀 data-star.dev/videos

Datastar v1.0.0-beta.11 adds more fine-grained wildcard support (* to match a single path segment, ** to match multiple path segments). The beta phase is now officially unofficially over, and the next release should be v1.0.0 🚀 github.com/starfederati...

Are you bored on a Sunday? Maybe you'll learn something about Datastar in the new #podcast episode. #craftcms craftentries.io/podcast/reac...

I've published a post about using Datastar and the Datastar for Craft CMS plugin. Thank you to Ben Croker for looking it over and offering suggestions along the way. #craftcms #datastar supergeekery.com/blog/unlocki...

📺 In which we discuss Datastar beta 8, immutability, and event sourcing. 🎧 Also available on the podcast players. youtu.be/OV6xS865pF0

In case you missed last week’s @craftquest_io livestream in which I introduced and showed real-time demos using #CraftCMS, the recording is now online. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVjU...

Here’s a teaser of something I’m going to demo in tomorrow’s @craftquest.io livestream. I think you’ll want to see it! #CraftCMS craftquest.io/livestreams

I sat down with Lazarus of hx-pod to discuss the real-time chat application that he built, PHP quirks, and getting to grips with Datastar. (Also available on the podcast players.) #datastar #php #hyperscript #pubsub youtu.be/DTURjpV2ZHQ

Come learn about Datastar, a hypermedia framework that helps you build reactive web apps, with guest Ben Croker. Noon eastern on Thursday 2/20! 🚀

What happened when we injected nitrous into the engine, DOM morphing strategies, pub/sub messaging systems and NATS. #datastar #dom #hyperscript #nats youtu.be/zu92P9wyUfI

We are back on the tube, discussing beta 3, Datastar as a full-stack framework, and CQRS. You can find us on the podcast players, too. #datastar youtu.be/a6ByFsFCN0c

This example was shown using the PHP SDK. Not a long-lived connection, but one that stays alive only as long as it needs to. Configuring the backend to stop processing the request if the browser window is closed as as easy as adding a single line of code.

All Datastar SDKs will soon ship with a “Hello, world!” example that demonstrates fragments being streamed to the browser in a single response–all in just a few lines of code. Here you can see the DOM updates on the left, and the SSE events being streamed on the right.

🔴 In this pod, we discuss community updates, and how we think of Datastar as a progressive performance framework. 🚀 #performance #javascript #framework youtu.be/hUqFY9TQvdM

Damn this @htmx_org guy seems to really grok hypermedia, maybe we should listen to him? htmx.org/essays/alter...

We pressed record 🔴 We talked about Datastar v1 🚀 We uploaded a video 📼 #hypermedia #javascript #framework youtu.be/99wTA9sFEWE

Just released the Datastar package for Laravel 🤖 🥳 🚀 github.com/putyourlight...

Kicked off 2025 by releasing Datastar v1.0.0-beta.1 🚀 After a grueling couple of months, Delaney and I are delighted to finally tag a stable API that is as close to perfection as we can possibly imagine. Datastar is reactivity made declarative. Release notes: github.com/starfederati...

Datastar V1 just hit beta! This has been a huge lift and excited to get it into peoples hands. github.com/starfederati...

Wrote about Pixel & Tonic’s most productive year yet: craftcms.com/blog/2024-in... #CraftCMS

Just added a “Stop Overcomplicating It” guide, in which I attempt to translate @DelaneyGillilan’s event-streamed thoughts into words that actually make sense. Enjoy!! data-star.dev/guide/stop_o...

Love DevOps and working with Craft? We're looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our team! https://www.workwithcraft.com/jobs/cloud-infrastructure-engineer #CraftCMS

Sorry Alpine.js, but this is *not* the way. Declarative hypermedia with Datastar is *the* way. data-star.dev/guide/gettin...

I rewrote the Going Deeper guide, explaining what declarative nestable signals are and why they are a superpower in Datastar. The reference docs are also brand new. Fasten your seatbelts folks, we’re quickly approaching V1 🚀 data-star.dev/guide/going_...
