I love @starting-style but what about exit animations ?

I'm thinking about completely separating styles for desktop and styles for mobile.
The QA process is so hard when you tweak something for desktop then realize you broke the mobile layout...

I finally stopped using experimental APIs in my client projects. I think I'm getting old.

Media is always the reason for this.

It's silly to use AI for this, but I also want to own my code and deploy it wherever I want. The cursor visual editor at least gives me this option.
But for now, I'm sticking to traditional Figma wireframes and hand coding with a bit of help for AI.

I mean, people want their images and videos...

If I could reduce the amount of time I sink into this, I send an quotation 30 minutes after having a meeting with a client, I would be way more happier with myself haha

I find that writing estimates can take several hours and it doesn't necessarily lead anything. So it happens that I procrastinate sending the document, which might lead to missed opportunities.

I am looking for a tool that can generates quotations for potential clients. Something useful for small web agencies. Is there such a thing?

Agreed. It's just a stereotype that happens to fit with how that ceo guy chose to present themselves.

I guess being from Argentina and having a German sounding name is a dead giveaway

Yeah Svelte always had good defaults and structure. I will give it a try next time I need to use a frontend web framework !

I didn't follow closely this release. What's done different than server action in react?

I'm glad that LLMs always think that I am absolutely right. If only it was true.

Made this mistake on my current project. Now am paying the debt by working on a weekend

Friedhats and DAK are on my list when I go back there!

Patiently waiting for the next hyped thing.

Astro made me a better developer.
Writing simple script tags for interactivity didn't make me forget the quirks of React.
I got a call for a Next project I delivered last year, and I jumped back and did the task fast and easy, even if I've been away from a React codebase for a while now.

On a personal note, I am back in Paris after spending some great times in Athens. Stay tuned for more!

I also worked on a Next.js Sanity and Shopify starter called Photon (github.com/jazsouf/sani...).
I plan to release a similar minimal and modular starter using vanilla Astro for a better DX and performance.

The second on called Astro Shopify Sanity does exactly that. It's for people who need a headless Shopify store. I started by forking a popular repo by ThomasKn (github.com/thomasKn/ast...). I set up modular page capabilities through Sanity and I also added some variant selection logic.

The first one called Sanity Astro Club, is targeted towards small businesses that need to sell digital products. It's based on the work of @codrops.bsky.social. I restructured the data model and added a quick polar.sh integration.

Hey, sharing some side work with you all 🙂
I extended two starter themes using @astro.build. I mainly added @sanity.io for content management and some e-commerce capabilities.
Check out the GitHub repos:

Maybe the solution would be that when a change is requested, no one else but the client and the developer are left on the chain.

It would be simple to just refuse to make any changes, but this rigidity is not justified when working as an independent developer.

Sometimes I think about how it would feel to own the whole chain from exploration to code, but it sounds kinda hard as well.

Working as a freelance web developer, you're at the end of a long chain of decisions made by other people. When a change needs to be made, you can feel the whiplash of that chain sometimes.

Developer aren’t the ones setting requirements for a project.

Astro with no client side frameworks. Web components as glorified script tags to help with lifecycle management and code organisation, but without shadow dom or other miseries.

What about the ones that do the work at compile time like vanilla-extract? What would be their impact on perf?
