As much as we enjoy making this newsletter, we also publish some others you might not know about. You can see their most recent issues directly on their homepages: 💛 JavaScript Weekly covers all things JavaScript, but also its broader ecosystem, including TypeScript, WebAssembly, Astro, HTMX, Vue.js, build tools, etc. ⚛️ React Status covers, unsurprisingly, the React world and Node Weekly goes deeper into Node.js, the npm ecosystem, and other server-side JS platforms like Deno and Bun. 👩💻 Frontend Focus covers the broad gamut of technologies that appear in the browser: CSS, HTML, accessibility, WebGL, Web APIs – it's all in there. 🐘 Postgres Weekly and Ruby Weekly don't need much introduction and are exactly what you'd expect ;-) We'll be back in two weeks - see you then! __ |
