Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

AstroDB

AstroDB

Astro has solidified itself as a fast, lightweight web framework for content-focused websites, so it may seem strange to some that the Astro team has recently released AstroDB. However, their LibSQL-powered solution frees you from having to worry about configuration, provisioning and setup, and lets you focus on building. With a Drizzle-like ORM, it's easy for anyone to get started, especially if you regularly refresh yourself on the different SQL joins. Explore more ›

NueJS

NueJS

Nue, similarly to Astro, is a content-first web framework designed to fix everything that is wrong with front-end ecosystems. Guided by its core principles of being ridiculously fast and easy to use, Nue is well on its way to achieve that goal. Recently, the developer behind Nue has released Nue CSS too, an alternative to Tailwind that aims to introduce a new way to write and structure your CSS in a way that is both simpler and easier to maintain.

Tailwind v4.0 alpha

Tailwind v4.0 alpha

For those that live and breathe Tailwind, there's exciting news from that side of the pond, too. The Tailwind v4.0 alpha is public! Powered by the new high-performance Oxide engine, Tailwind is up to ten times faster, with a 35% smaller footprint. There's a myriad of features aside from these performance improvements to dig into as well, such as CSS-first configuration and a unified toolchain. We're excited to see how v4.0 develops in the coming months. Check it out ›
