What happened last week - issue #18
This week: Migrating to Next.js, Sanity.io, Code and Coffee and much more
What happened last week
It was a hectic week for me. Those last weeks before the holidays are always the busiest. Luckily, I will have a chance to rest soon.
I also had a chance to play with Sanity.io. I’m impressed and hope I will finish an article about it soon.
Also, I have a small announcement. Next year I’m starting my own YouTube show called The Code and Coffee Show. It will be live streams with terrific guests, during which we’ll learn something new. I will share more info next week.
