Datastar Cult Leader

I gave a talk about making the web slightly more sane www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Ki...

Yesterday, the CSSWG accepted my proposal for mesh gradients and diffusion curve gradients! Want to make gradients like this natively in CSS? Well, we've started the work on it. It's coming! Here's the Explainer: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

Happy World Browser Day! I've long used "long live the web" as my motto/tagline, so today I published a blog post explaining what this phrase means to me: longlivetheweb.org/not-a-manife...

Made a tool for customizing a map view to then print coloring pages.

Oh noes, @infrequently.org directly mentioned as a case of a rational person and how dare he bring facts.

Big thanks to @drk.wtf for coming on the podcast and walking us through his impressive demos and Rocket components 🌪️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF04...

Ok, maybe it's a cult

Messing around with @data-star.dev Rocket derekr.github.io/pd-rockets/

One out of one Alexs approves

@infrequently.org You might be interested in the work we did around Rocket. Making web components easier to get right.

Rocket, Datastar’s answer to web components, is now free for all 🚀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhCm...

It's faster to load a designobo project view, with 7 iframes, than to start a electron app. The entire client side js, including datastar, is 30kb gzipped!! youtu.be/I1u9f9X8h-g?...

Just another day in SPA paradise.

@ryansolid.bsky.social thanks for the discussion on stream today! You asked on stream today to show you a trello or otherwise sufficiently complex app in datastar. Here is that as as well as a few others that opened my eyes a bit, as a former skeptic. kanban.jsonbateman.com

Based as fuck

My favourite Datastar discord channel just got its very own page on the site. Thanks to everyone who contributed. This the BEST type of user-generated content!! data-star.dev/gratitude

In case you were waiting for a stable version of Datastar to drop, it did. Datastar is now at 1.0, including the #CraftCMS plugin (and the #Laravel package) 🚀 putyourlightson.com/plugins/data...

@data-star.dev sighting in www.twitch.tv/theprimeagen!

More progress on the local-first/offline @data-star.dev Kanban app. derekr.github.io/datastar-sw-ex…

Just published an edited version of last week’s Datastar online meetup with timestamped chapters, for anyone who missed it or wants to watch a particular part again. Thanks again to our guests and to everyone who joined the stream!! youtu.be/xN30XVJpwLU

Join us live on YouTube for the first Datastar Online Meetup this coming Thursday, and hear about http-nu from @ndyg.ca, Stario from Adam Bobowski, Rocket from @zangster.bsky.social , and Stellar CSS from @data-star.dev. Mark your calendars and see you there! www.youtube.com/live/lc48MUn...

With #brotli over SSE, the window size is everything. If your window is thrashing (too small), you can use 100%+ more CPU. This also applies to compression. So you can use brotli 3 rather than 4 (recommend normally) have almost the same compression and be 40-50% faster.

Great talk, glad to be on! Can't wait for the next time!

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

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

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...

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

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

Wrote some thoughts about pure UI/ui = fn(state) after spending some time with http://data-star.dev. If you've been feeling modern frontend dev has felt overly complex and the juice isn't worth the squeeze then check this out.

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

⏮️ In case you missed it… Did you notice most web apps today are over-engineered? On Netstack.FM 🎙 Ep.4 we talked with Delaney Gillilan @data-star.dev — creator of Datastar — about rethinking web performance through Server-Sent Events, CQRS & hypermedia. Listen at netstack.fm#episode-4 #Rust #WebDev

Woke up to 2 articles on hackernews frontpage about Datastar... sure the comments will be accurate, measured, and thoughtful! This is the Internet after all!

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

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

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