I have seen @astrodotbuild this morning. The upcoming "meta web framework" from @skypackjs team (@FredKSchott, @matthewcp, @n_moore and maybe other I don't know 😅)

I think it's showing us something important. Here is my humble take on it and the emerging meta frameworks

You can preview @astrodotbuild in this video: pscp.tv/w/1nAJELQkljlGL
with @FredKSchott and @feross

In my words, @astrodotbuild is a meta web framework with properties introduced by Ruby on Rails: File based routing, layouts and taking the component models that we have seen in #nextjs, #nuxt, #sapper and now #sveltekit.

But! It's framework agnostic. Let me explain
(3/11)

You primarily write HTML in .astro files

Look at the screenshot, this is all server side render, no JS going out. (4/11)

but you can add @reactjs , @sveltejs and probably @vuejs components in the middle of it.

Just import and use it in the .astro file.

There is more to @astrodotbuild but this is the most important element for me.

We need these meta frameworks for their file base routing, layouts, build abstraction, bundling optimizations, image optimizations...

but we don't need them to be framework specific.

Today we have:

⚛️ React => #nextjs or @GatsbyJS
🖖 Vue => @nuxt_js or #vitesse
🟥 Svelte => #sveltekit or @routify

What else do you know ?

I can see a lot of benefits in mutualising our collective efforts towards "agnostic meta frameworks".

We have to look at what @_egoistlily is preparing with `ViteKit`

Anything else coming up?

It would be so much easier to transition technologies in apps instead rewriting the WHOLE thing!

You can have your landing page in `no JS`, your blog pages with @reactjs, your blog with @vuejs, your settings in @svelte and finally sparkle with #Webcomponents!

🔮 My humble predictions:
- These agnostic meta framework will take off
- Existing meta frameworks will open up, otherwise it only means they are locking you in...

What are your predictions ?

Thanks for reading up to here 🙏
I would love to read your thoughts.

❓Last question:
What should we call these "agnostic meta frameworks" ? "AMFs" ? Should we call them "Kits" at this stage ? 😄

Who came up with the SvelteKit name?!? @svelte we want to know!!!
