What happened last week - issue #59
This week: Nuxt Studio, public speaking, Statamic and more
What happened last week
I spent most of my last week submitting Kinsta Static Hosting to different repositories and documentation. It’s quite a lot of work if you ask me.
Apart from this, I started to work on the concept of a CMS-agnostic starter for Astro. You can read a bit about it here. I can now have WordPress and Directus working without changing the frontend part. I hope to write an article about it soon.
Finally, I got my hands on Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC. It’s really amazing. Whenever I return to Night City, I’m constantly amazed by the world CDPR created. Oh well. I have Songbird to save and a city to burn.
