<p>I&#39;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>&quot;Next.js or Astro for scroll-driven, motion-heavy websites? (leaving Gatsby)&quot;</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&#39;s strengths or offer best practices.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>&quot;Astro Managed Hosting? (for my customer)&quot;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qxryck/astro_managed_hosting_for_my_customer/</code></li>
<li><em>Need for dev input:</em> The user is specifically looking for &quot;managed Astro hosting&quot; 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>&quot;How do you all render rich text from Payload CMS&#39;s lexical?&quot;</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&#39;s preferred solution, as the official Astro docs don&#39;t cover it.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>&quot;4 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 2 high) from upgrading wrangler in Astro&quot;</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&#39;s dependency chain would be the best person to address the severity.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>&quot;High TTFB and execution latency on Astro SSR routes despite fast app code ( vercel hosted )&quot;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qwq321/high_ttfb_and_execution_latency_on_astro_ssr/</code></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&#39;s SSR pipeline would be essential here.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>&quot;Experimental Content Security Policy (CSP)&quot;</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> The user is struggling with an &quot;experimental&quot; feature, suggesting the documentation or implementation might be tricky or incomplete. This is a direct request for help with an Astro feature.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>&quot;How do UI libraries work with islands?&quot;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>URL:</strong> <code>https://www.reddit.com/r/astrojs/comments/1qw8f3t/how_do_ui_libraries_work_with_islands/</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>&quot;Are Astro Templates worth it?&quot;</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>&quot;very sour taste&quot;</strong> after purchasing a paid template that hadn&#39;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>&quot;Anyone else feel burned out with all these Astro integrated CMS solutions?&quot;</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>&quot;missing a clear solution&quot;</strong> for writing, and existing options don&#39;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>&quot;What&#39;s the point of Astro&#39;s i18n internationalization features?&quot;</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>&quot;implement pretty much all the i18n features from scratch&quot;</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>
