What happened last week - issue #36
This week: Astro, WebC, Statamic and more
What happened last week
A bit late this week, but a lot of things happened. I was preparing myself for my talk at the Atarim Web Summit(I think it went very well), and I had a chance to meet one of my Kinsta colleagues who decided to become a Polish citizen.
Now I’m polishing my talk for the WordCamp Poland in Gliwice that will take place next month.
I also spent some time building a site using GitHub API as the main data source. Here you can see the results.
And yesterday, I learned that I got mentioned twice in the Statamic monthly newsletter.
