05:20 - Astro

What it is:
- astro.build is a next gen “meta” framework that eases some of React’s pain but also is not just React.
- https://twitter.com/georges_gomes/status/1380801812656226304
Why we’re excited about it:
- Server Side JS frameworks, combine Svelte, React, Vue as needed in one component that is an SFC using markdown style meta data.
- Scoped CSS by default (a la Svelte). Sass out of the box.
- Collections import for .md files

 // pages/blog.astro --- import PostPreview from '../components/PostPreview.astro';  const blogPosts = import.meta.collections('./post/*.md'); ---  <main>   <h1>Blog Postsh1>   {blogPosts.map((post) => (     <PostPreview post={post} />   )} main>

12:06 - ViteKit

What it is:
- Framework-agnostic
- API routes
- Pages (frontend, optional hydration)
- Adapter for Node, static, Vercel, cf worker, etc. Inspired by SvelteKit.

15:58 - Svelte Kit

What it is:
- https://kit.svelte.dev/docs
- https://svelte.dev/blog/sveltekit-beta
- New framework for building Svelte apps

19:07 - Remix.run

What it is:
- Remix.run
- Fullstack React framework
Why we’re excited about it:
- Made by Michael Jackson, Ryan Florence
- License-based
- React-based
- Caching-focused, uses “the platform”
- Centralized data loading, works without client JS if needed
- Better nested routing
