I'm building Inspo.
Catching up as I somehow missed we can post updates!
So far I've:
- Created a basic figma wireframe
- Setup my nextjs app with basic styling
- Attempted to use iOS shortcuts as a way to easily share images from mobile
Next I need to create my backend.
Sounds like you're making some GREAT progress 🙌
What tech are you planning to use on the backend?

- Made some slight adjustments to my data by removing drivers who have never had a teammate and by merging certain constructor entries and thus eliminating redundant links between some drivers
- Decided to roll with an Astro project instead of Nuxt that's going to use Vis.js to visualise all my node graphs
What do you think about Astro? ... I'm using it for my project, too.
I've used it plenty of times for SSG and SSR sites alike, and I think it's a versatile framework for more content-focused and/or less interactive projects out there. I consider my project to be the latter in particular.
PS. Yes, the Astro team aims to introduce more features for the more interaction-heavy apps out there such as the client-side router supporting the View Transitions API, but I'm not aware of it being supported in Firefox as we speak.
I was on a panel with Ben Holmes and one of the most interesting use cases he saw with someone with someone using Astro was wrapping their SPA application. They leveraged all the static side pieces for marketing pages and then the wrapper still allowed them to do all the app heavy work.
I'm _really_ looking forward to Redwood's RSC implementation. Until then, I've thought about trying to see if I could get Astro to wrap Redwood. 🤔
