A Tasty Treats NEWSLETTER for Web Developers

Issue #49:

  • Nuxt and Nitro just joined Vercel — here’s what’s changing (and what’s not)
  • A new TS-powered Drizzle package that handles your CRUDs and your sanity
  • An actually good CSS recreation of Apple glass
  • Reaper is here to hunt dead code, and it’s watching your runtime
  • Plus: A TypeScript opinion that might ruin your group chat, a curved text toy, and a CAPTCHA that tests your vocals

​NuxtLabs joins Vercel

FROM cj

The creators and stewards of Nitro and Nuxt are joining Vercel. While this might come as a shock to some, they are committed to remaining independent, open source projects with open governance.
