Congrats to Fred and team! Developing and maintaining a complex framework takes lots of funding, and I’m glad Astro found a new home that provides that. With [Mastro], we have a different approach. The name originally stood for "minima

It even loads the code snippets in separate HTTP requests :-( But the snippets themselves are really good! I'm going to update mine on https://mastrojs.github.io

https://mastrojs.github.io The simplest web framework and site generator yet – no leaky abstractions between you and the high-performance engine that is a modern browser.

This. Or use ts-blank-space if you prefer TypeScript over JSDoc. That's what we do in https://mastrojs.github.io

It has data-drupal attributes in the source. Not sure where the Perl and Java things would have come from.

I totally agree that the goal should be teaching. But I do wonder which code someone is more likely to actually read and understand: the LLM-generated one in their own codebase, or the one hidden in some npm package they installed to just s

Thanks, this one? https://github.com/jon49/html-template-tag-async Looks very similar indeed! What makes it "more powerful" than Mastro's html template?

Since we're sharing HTML in JS syntaxes. Don't forget JS tagged template literals like https://jsr.io/@mastrojs/mastro/doc/~/html

How to _incrementally_ migrate from Express.js to the modern and standards-based Request/Response API for route handlers.

haha, right?! I'm totally onboard with the author's philosophy, hence for websites: https://mastrojs.github.io – the simple web framework and site generator you could have built yourself.

Definitely team #noBundler for most websites. But I didn't wanna give up TypeScript. With Deno and even Node.js supporting type-stripping now natively, all I had to do for https://mastrojs.github.io was to use ts-blank-spac

What I learned porting Mastro from Deno to Node.js(mastrojs.github.io)

The Mastro web framework and static site generator initially ran only in the browser and Deno – it was living in the future, so to speak. Here’s the story of how I ported it to Node.js (which has a surprising amount of functionality built-i

seems you've overlooked the word "efficiently" in "store data persistently and then efficiently look it up later"?

Indeed. Would you consider https://mastrojs.github.io a "pragmatic framework"?

by mb2100 1y ago
That's because on mobile, PageSpeed (which is a hosted version of the Ligthhouse dev tools you also have in Chrome) simulates a low-end Android device on a slow 3G network, which is what a lot of website visitors actually use (as oppos

Thanks, what do you mean with "any-script-managed HTML"? If you mean that you can use any script, like e.g. a bash script, to generate static HTML files, then yes, in a way Mastro is basically that script. Except that it comes wit

Welcome to the club! I built https://mastrojs.github.io after finding both Next.js and Astro to be too complex for my simple needs.

You're saying each tool solves a problem. That's true. But is it a problem that you have? And is the pain of that problem larger than the pain of introducing another tool that you need to debug when things go wrong? Also, browsers

New CSS features stay relevant for the next ~25 years – well worth a learning investment IMHO.

I wanted to figure out the simplest, most lightweight abstraction, that unifies static site generation and web server for both HTML, JSON, etc. What I arrived at is ~700 lines of TypeScript: https://mastrojs.github.io/ In a

by mb2100 1y ago
Totally, agree. And new HTML elements (like <dialog>) and CSS features (like MPA cross-document view transitions) have made client-side JavaScript unnecessary for a loot more use-cases in recent years. This is something a lot of devs

To be fair, the advantage of Deno here is really the standard library that includes way more functionality than Node. But in the end, we should all rely on fewer dependencies. It's certainly the philosophy I'm trying to follow wit

This. It's what inspired me to build a static site generator and web framework built from first principles: https://mastrojs.github.io
