Matthew Phillips co-creator of Astro will be joining me for an interview, to discuss the latest tech news (React Server Components, new React Docs react.dev, Solid Start, TanStack Start, bling, Qwik). My main interest it to figure out what's the future of "Astro for apps" is going to look like, so maybe we can take a look at https://qgp.app as well :)

Some of the questions that we are going to talk about:
- why Astro?
- what's new in Astro 2.1?
- SolidStart/TasStack/bling
- what is the best way to build an app right now?
- should Astro be mentioned in new React Docs?
- fixing HMR for Solid and React
