Conference season has hit my town, and I got a chance to hang out with some awesome people, make new friends, and got tapped in last minute to host the React Next 2023 Kahoot quiz.
Fun times!
Besides that, we have some pretty interesting announcements (if you ask me 😅), some interesting news in the web dev ecosystem, and of course - our dad joke of the day:
The word queue is ironic.
.
.
It's just q with a bunch of silent letters waiting in line.
- Qwik v1.2 is out! 🎉 The north star being to never write a list of performance best practices or 100-tricks-to-make-your-site-fast. 🔺 More DX, 🔻 less best practices.
- Adam & Yoav (me!) introduce Builder Devtools, another step forward in better developer experience when integrating Builder’s Visual Headless CMS.
- Vishwas keeps ‘em coming with his visual guide to Routing and SEO Metadata in Next.js 13
- Yoav (👋🏽) wrote about the good parts of CSS throughout the ages and a glimpse into the future.
- Apparently, there’s a massive bug at the heart of the npm ecosystem 😱.
- After giving the keynote at React Next 2023 conference, Tejas Kumar put out a video on how to build Next.js from scratch.
- Jules Blom put out a visual guide for running promises in parallel.
- Andrew Bone has a “future of CSS” series, in this one he covered scroll animations.
- Is it time to replace Axios? Scott Hu thinks so.
- Another product goes in to the Google graveyard, this time it’s Google Domains 🪦. Fireship covered it and some more interesting stories.
- Stephanie Eckles took a deep dive into dynamic component-based architectures with modern CSS.
- The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) announced a new web standard for online payments. Now we just need a standard for refunds, and we’re set.
- Tanner Linsley had something to say about
useEffect. - Santosh Yadav published a comprehensive guide on how to contribute to open source. Top notch resource 👌🏽.
- Jack Herrington put out a video about some bad React advice you should ignore.
- Patrick Brosset put out a long list of useful devtool tips and tricks. Just when I was about to do something similar…
- Vercel is hyped on AI, so they put out their own AI SDK to help build AI apps (I dare you to say AI one more time).
- Bundlejs is an alternative to Bundlephobia, what I like about it is that it has an API you can ping to add size checking to your workflows
- Val Town is a tool that is a hybrid of GitHub gists and AWS Lambda. The lowdown is you write code on the browser and it executes on Val Towns servers. No way this can get abused.
- ~~Skynet~~, I mean OpenAI, just announced ChatGPT functions and some API updates. You can now tell it how to format that “hello world” response.
- Mr. state management, Dai Shi, put out a new minimalistic React framework that leverages RSCs.
- Fresh 1.2, the Deno-first, edge-native full stack web framework was released. In it: sharing state between islands, limited npm support, and a new core maintainer.
- Svelte 4 was released. Not a whole lot announced there, It’s more like the pending for v5 release.
- DevPod is an open source alternative to GitHub Codespaces.
- Figma dev mode is an attempt to make developers like design tools.
Once again, a lot is happening, no project nor company are stopping putting out interesting stuff, and keeping tabs on it all is once heck of a job.
I wonder what the next 2 weeks will bring?
Till next time!
Peace. ✌🏽
