What happened last week - issue #91
This week: Headless, serverless, react and more
What happened last week
So, the Olympic Games are over. Watching our volleyball team was amazing, and I’m delighted with their result.
I must admit that the last two weeks were rather slow. Not much happened, and I also lacked the strength to do something. I hope that finally I will put myself together and write an article about the Vistula Cycling Route and migrating Gutenberg blocks to Statamic.
I’m also waiting for responses regarding some conferences that will happen later this year.
Also, I had a chance to drink amazing sweet and salty coffee at the Don’t Ask cafe in Lodz. It was amazing.

Locally running and testing your custom GitHub Action — Elio Struyf
Thanks to Elio I learned you can test your custom GH Actions locally.
I agree that those optional modules might change the Statamic ecosystem a bit. They will give more flexibility during the Starter Kit installation. Can’t wait to see how the community will benefit from this.
