Notes on converting stripped down Nextjs landing/home page template to Astro template

The stripped down Nextjs landing/home page project/template is covered in a previous post . Quick Info Private repo for project: https://github.com/ravisiyer/stripdowncomm-astro ============================================================= ============================================================= Late evening, 14 February 2026 Now trying out: https://github.com/jonnysmillie/astro-base npm install gave: 1 high severity vulnerability npm audit fix: resolved it. npm run dev: App is running and seems to be working as expected. This whole process from cloning repo to running app was really simple and straightforward to do. It was quite fast too. ------------------- In CoPilot chat with stripped down Nextjs landing/home page template opened in VSCode: Me: Can you read the source files of this Next.js project and create an equivalent Astro project? [It did the conversion, giving lot of messages, prompting me to accept new folder creation, file modification etc. which I accepted. I copy-pa...

Assessing feasibility of agentic coding with (free) Ollama, Claude Code and local open-source models for Next.js and React Native apps (no hands-on trials)

Last updated on 14 Feb. 2026 Note:  In this exploration, I have only viewed videos, interacted with AI chatbots and read articles to arrive at my conclusions.  I have NOT tried out Ollama, Claude Code and local open source coding models for Next.js and React Native app dev. Surely trying them out myself will be a more reliable assessment but such trials have challenges of investing lot of time for the trials and organizing required hardware resources even if I use online resources like Google Colab. The videos, AI chatbot interactions and articles themselves have convinced me that my conclusions are on the right track. Summary My Views (Conclusions) Ollama + Claude code + qwen3-coder-30b even with local machine with required power like the PC shown in video 1 below  (60+ GB System (CPU) RAM, 32 GB VRAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090): does not seem to be a reliable agentic coding system for medium size Next.js or React Native apps is much less in capability as compared to ...
