Fun fact: you can create state *on the server* with Astro and Preact signals. Easiest way to share state between islands 👀

Any good read on the consequence of it? Whenever I see server-side state, my first question is : how is it stored. My second is : is it user-specific and if yes how is it secured. Eg for Phoenix they securely allocate some state in the server memory as far as I understand

This just creates an *initial* state value to serialize on the client. It doesn't persist across requests! Think of this like a simple way to share client state across components

"Your users table probably has 0 entries" Absolute savagery.

So, can we create SaaS on Astro using this? Like to share auth state?

Is it per-session or what? Seems like per-instance. Not clear, but crucial to understand for whom this state’s data is allocated.

Hey @astrodotbuild Is there an option to rename <astro-island> tag to something custom (e.g. <custom-name>) ?

Wait preact is an actual name and not a meme ?

Is signal serializable?

@dean_rie This could work great for implementing collaboration across users and synchronizing and replaying actions. How fast, scalable and secure is it?
