Peter Pistorius

I will be speaking alongside @p4p8.bsky.social at React Conf in under two weeks! Can’t wait to showcase some of the awesome stuff @redwoodjs.com has to offer.

thank you!

Man RSC is amazing. The interplay you can have between client and server - to reduce resource usage on the server is awesome

In my real world example I lazily convert markdown into html based on if it's visible or not; doing this in rsc is a cinch.

I dropped you an email!

📝 Extended some thoughts I posted yesterday about @redwoodjs.com and how I'm impressed by its new set of principles.

No worries, I misspelled my own last name for a few years in primary school

I really enjoyed this discussion! Thanks for letting me ramble on!

669: Peter Pistorius on Developing RedwoodSDK We’re chatting with Peter Pistorius about the change they made from RedwoodJS to RedwoodSDK, how it’s going to handle routing, some new marketing ideas for RedwoodSDK, how RedwoodSDK&#8…

We had Peter Pistorous on @shoptalkshow.com to talk about @redwoodjs.com and their pivot to RedwoodSDK. Spoiler: I was pleasantly surprised by the principles:

- Zero magic (code gen or transpiler hacks)
- Composability over configuration
- Uses native Web APIs

What impressed me was prioritizing economic justice at the framework level. That manifests in minimal code sent to the client hosted on a Cloudflare edge worker for free; reducing costs for website owners and customers.

No $20/mo hosting lock-in scheme.

Wish #webcomponents had an SDK like this...

that's right, teach them the dogma!

Thanks for the chat @chriscoyier.net & @davatron5000.bsky.social, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the episode!

We've shipped an early proof of concept for client-side routing in RedwoodSDK:

@p4p8.bsky.social explain's how

SaaS Is Just Vendor Lock-In with Better Branding | RedwoodSDK The pitch of modern SaaS is "don't reinvent the wheel." But every wheel you bolt on comes with some friction.

I wrote something:

Good idea!

What does @p4p8.bsky.social‬want to accomplish with Redwood SDK?

Revolution!

How far can we take co-location in React?

@p4p8.bsky.social‬ from Redwood SDK thinks it can go further!

Very excited to announce that I'll partner with @redwoodjs.com over the coming months to improve Cloudflare worker support for @livestore.dev

Shipping shouldn’t feel like a magic trick 🧙‍♂️✨
But in 2025? It kinda does.
Too much integration, not enough code.

Today on PodRocket, @p4p8.bsky.social talks @redwoodjs.com, clean code, and tools that just work. 🚀

Here's a 5 minute overview of what we're building: youtu.be/omKvO9KoPLs

Sorry for the audio quality. I had a toddler in the background. You asked "what's changed?" The answer is "EVERYTHING!"

Congrats! It's the longest shortest time, but so worth it!
I'll send a video shortly.

@cassidoo.co I saw you opened a PR on the old RedwoodJS website, are you taking a look at RedwoodSDK? Can I give you a demo?

😎 London brought the heat yesterday (29°C!) but we had a blast at 🌍 Region: Earth: London!

Huge thanks to everyone who came, to our amazing speakers:
@megaconfidence.bsky.social @ello.tech @nataliemarleny.com
@p4p8.bsky.social, and to Cloudflare for hosting us!

I think one of the reasons React stuck with me is because it taught me how to think.
Not just about components, but about breaking problems down. Same goes for request/response. It's grounding.

RedwoodSDK allows you to co-locate entire sections of your web-app. You to think like the web works!

You only get so much time. Spend it becoming a better builder, not just a better user.

Is it helping you understand tech—or just teaching you to use a product?

If you’re curious about how things really work, start closer to the metal.
Learn the core ideas. Build with tools that make sense to you, not just to the enterprise.

I was lucky. When I started, big tech hadn’t abstracted everything yet.
We learned the fundamentals because that’s all there was.

Today, you’re surrounded by tools that hide the basics behind glossy UIs and certifications.
Before you spend years learning one company’s abstraction, ask yourself:

React isn't just a UI library. The first time it clicked, it rewired how I thought about software. It became a tool for thought. Just like the request and response cycle is more than a protocol, It's a mental model. A way to orient yourself in the chaos of vibe programming.

RedwoodSDK is a React framework for Cloudflare
