What Type of Content Would You Like to See?

Hello fellow Aurelians,

We’re always looking for ways to support the Aurelia community and help you get the most out of Aurelia 2. To do that, I’d love to hear directly from you about the kinds of resources and content you’d like to see from us.

Would you benefit most from:

Blog posts covering best practices, advanced features, or comparisons?

Deep dives into specific Aurelia 2 concepts, patterns, or tools?

Tutorials for building real-world applications, plugins, or integrations?

Video content (e.g., YouTube) showing code walkthroughs, UI building, or tips and tricks?

Livestreams for coding sessions, Q&A, or more collaborative content?

• Something else entirely?

We want to ensure the content we create aligns with what you actually need and enjoy consuming.

Let us know your ideas, wishlists, or even specific topics you’ve struggled with or want to learn more about. Your input will help shape the next wave of Aurelia resources.

Looking forward to your thoughts :point_down:

Easy to reach community! Like, the Discourse is available from the menu, but the Discord is not mentioned.

And wrt the things you already mentioned: imho docs and tutorials are most important, deep dives help with general understandment. Blogs to show the world AU2 is still alive and kicking!
Video and livestreams for me are least important.

Wrt subjects: au1 to au2 migration is one of the most important things for us (one giant au1 app).
Another interesting one might be migrating from webpack to a faster alternative, again related to au1 to au2.

Another interesting point of interest might be how au2 compares to other frameworks (technical, standards, speed/benchmarks)

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you :raised_hands:

I’ve actually got a list in my notes of content ideas and Aurelia 1 to Aurelia 2 migration is one of the ideas at the top of the list, because I’ve heard this from others too, especially when it comes to things like routing and dynamic composition, plugins and whatnot.

The overall focus with the upcoming new site is a renewed focus on community and frequent content. The last blog post was from December 2023, which is too long. One of the reasons for that is the existing site isn’t a CMS and a bespoke convoluted process (which I’ve addressed). Hopefully the new site launches imminently and then going into 2025 keeping that moment up.

Migration is definitely the topic we’re most interested in.

We looked into aurelia2 during the alphas and the basic migration seems pretty straight forward.
What determines the costliness of migration is how much time we spend trying to understand subtle internals while chasing down our corner cases.

So content that helps resolve common misunderstandings and issues during migration could save us a lot of time, and would be greatly appreciated.
