Happy Easter, Astronauts!
We've got a few good eggs in the basket this week, including a huge announcement from Cloudflare that’s got the whole community talking.
Let’s find out what all the fuss is about.
Cloudflare have unveiled EmDash, an open-source TypeScript CMS powered by Astro that aims to tackle WordPress's biggest weaknesses. Plugin security is solved via sandboxed isolates, hosting is fully serverless, and themes are standard Astro projects.
Raymond Camden explores Astro v6's new live content collections by building a TMDB movie browser, showing how the feature lets you mix on-demand API data with Astro's familiar content collection patterns.
A short Coding in Public tutorial showing how to build a sliding navbar indicator using Astro's View Transitions, with a focus on keeping the effect subtle by animating only the active state element rather than the whole page.
A detailed account of how Experian's team migrated their 20-year-old website to Astro, from proof-of-concept evaluation through team workshops and deployment pipeline integration, with honest notes on the CORS gotcha that forced a same-day rollback.
Creatives Berlin walks through their recent switch from WordPress to Astro, covering the real-world wins: sub-second load times, simpler hosting, and getting back to actually building things instead of maintaining a CMS.
