| <p>I've scanned the titles of the most recent posts on r/astrojs/new/. Here are the threads that seem to need a developer response or offer critical feedback:</p> | |
| <h3 id="threads-needing-developer-response-input">Threads Needing Developer Response/Input</h3> | |
| <p>These threads are asking technical questions or looking for alternative solutions, which would benefit from input from Astro developers or experienced community members:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><p><strong>"Next.js or Astro for scroll-driven, motion-heavy websites? (leaving Gatsby)"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qxo8k5/nextjs_or_astro_for_scrolldriven_motionheavy/</code></li> | |
| <li><em>Need for dev input:</em> The user is asking for real-world production experience on which framework holds up better for animation/motion-heavy sites, which is a great place to showcase Astro's strengths or offer best practices.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><p><strong>"Astro Managed Hosting? (for my customer)"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |

| <li><em>Need for dev input:</em> The user is specifically looking for "managed Astro hosting" for SSR features (like admin functionality), similar to WordPress managed hosting, including automatic updates and service restarts. This is a business/hosting question that service providers or knowledgeable developers could address.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><p><strong>"How do you all render rich text from Payload CMS's lexical?"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qxi4x4/how_do_you_all_render_rich_text_from_payload_cmss/</code></li> | |
| <li><em>Need for dev input:</em> The user is running into issues handling rich text blocks from a CMS and is looking for the community's preferred solution, as the official Astro docs don't cover it.</li> | |

| </li> | |
| <li><p><strong>"4 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 2 high) from upgrading wrangler in Astro"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qx7w1p/4_vulnerabilities_2_moderate_2_high_from_upgrading/</code></li> | |
| <li><em>Need for dev input:</em> The user is facing security vulnerabilities tied to <code>wrangler</code> (used in the Cloudflare adapter) and is asking if this is a serious issue. An Astro maintainer or core developer familiar with the Cloudflare adapter's dependency chain would be the best person to address the severity.</li> | |

| <li><em>Need for dev input:</em> This is a critical performance issue on a major hosting platform (Vercel) for SSR routes. The user has done extensive debugging. A developer familiar with the Vercel adapter or Astro's SSR pipeline would be essential here.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><p><strong>"Experimental Content Security Policy (CSP)"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qwt825/experimental_content_security_policy_csp/</code></li> | |

| <li><em>Need for dev input:</em> This is a fundamental question about a core Astro concept (Islands) and how it interacts with UI libraries that might not be purely CSS/HTML or fully tied to a specific framework.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h3 id="overly-critical-or-expressing-frustration-feedback-on-astro-ecosystem-">Overly Critical or Expressing Frustration (Feedback on Astro/Ecosystem)</h3> | |
| <p>These posts highlight areas where the user experience or ecosystem is causing frustration:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><p><strong>"Are Astro Templates worth it?"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qxosd0/are_astro_templates_worth_it/</code></li> | |
| <li><em>Critical feedback:</em> The user, transitioning from Webflow, had a <strong>"very sour taste"</strong> after purchasing a paid template that hadn't been updated since 2022. This points to a problem with the quality control and update frequency of templates in the broader ecosystem.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><p><strong>"Anyone else feel burned out with all these Astro integrated CMS solutions?"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qwm6i9/anyone_else_feel_burned_out_with_all_these_astro/</code></li> | |
| <li><em>Critical feedback:</em> The user feels the CMS market is <strong>"missing a clear solution"</strong> for writing, and existing options don't nail fundamentals like component integration and image preview in MDX. This is a call for a clearer, more standardized approach to content editing in the Astro ecosystem.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li><p><strong>"What's the point of Astro's i18n internationalization features?"</strong></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qvz37k/whats_the_point_of_astros_i18n_internationalization/</code></li> | |
| <li><em>Critical feedback:</em> The user is highly critical, stating they feel they have to <strong>"implement pretty much all the i18n features from scratch"</strong>. They point out specific issues with utility functions (like <code>getRelativeLocaleUrl</code> providing incorrect paths) and the lack of support for translated URLs. This is a direct, detailed critique of the built-in i18n features.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
