If I had some heartfelt advice for the Mastra devrel team it would be to shut up about about Gatsby.

I'm a happy Mastra user and I'm biased to their success. But I think linking it to an unrelated project is only going to matter to non-technical CXOs who choose technology based on names not merits. And that's not the audience Mastra needs to appeal to to be successful. Good dev tools and techs trickle from the bottom up in engineering organizations.

Thanks for the feedback. We hear from a lot of devs with fond memories of Gatsby but if it cuts the opposite way for you that's also fair!

Most of us spent a lot of the last decade building Gatsby so it's sort of a personal identity/pride thing for us more than a marketing thing. But maybe we need to keep our identity small! Either way, thanks for saying something, worth thinking about.

I don’t mean to be provocative, but given that it’s in the title of the post, of course I checked whether the marketing page for this framework was built with Gatsby - seems like it’s Next.js though. Any reason Gatsby was not chosen if it’s a point of pride?

My guess is Gatsby wasn't chosen because it was a bad framework that is practically deprecated [1]
