This week: WordCamp Europe, Astro, static site generator and more
What happened last week
It’s WordCamp Europe 🔥 Together with my family, we just arrived in Athens, and… it’s pure horror to travel around the city with a stroller. High curbs, narrow pavements, and cars blocking everything. But this won’t stop us.
On the other hand, I have a lot of work this year related to WordCamp itself. But WCEU is the event I’ve been waiting for the whole year.
Apart from this, I did my first 100 km this season on my bike. It was quite a ride with the amount of sand and grass we had to cross. But it was amazing.
Interesting links
I Tried Andrew Huberman's Morning Routine — Goal Guys
While this is something that is not connected with development itself, the whole video was really interesting. I don’t believe in those “magical” routines that will change your life, but I can believe that using even some parts of this every day can make some impact.
Make your docs shine with Starlight
Astro just released a cool documentation-related theme. I think it looks amazing.
21 Awesome Web Features you’re not using yet — Fireship
Another amazing Fireship video. It shows some new stuff we can use in our browsers. For example, I really like the dialog element, but the rest shown in the video is also amazing.
Minimal Framework for Static Websites — Jeffrey Schwartz
Another week means that there the new JS framework was released. I don’t think that fusion.ssg will become one of the major Static Site Generators, but I really like it - it’s easy to use, and it’s more than perfect for simple sites.
Hacking my “smart” toothbrush — Cyrill Künzi
Some time ago, I was listening to how to hack Tesla cars. Now it’s time to read how to hack a Philips smart toothbrush. A very interesting article if you would like to change your toothbrush head once every 5 months without seeing the LED blinking.
Remix: Fueling Developers with Gummiberry Juice-Like Power — Hana Klingová
An interesting counterpoint to Artem’s article. I really have to give Remix, especially since some of Hana’s arguments seem to favor Remix. For example, “working with forms”.
Updating a Bard addon for Tiptap 2 for Statamic 4 — Marty Friedel
Marty shared what he learned when he updated his plugin to make it Statamic v4 compatible.
