Conference season has hit my town, and I got a chance to hang out with some awesome people, make new friends, and got tapped in last minute to host the React Next 2023 Kahoot quiz.
Wow what a day! (and night π )
Got invited to the official speaker dinner after hosting the closing quiz for #ReactNext2023
Met so many great people and new friendships formed.

Fun times!
Besides that, we have some pretty interesting announcements (if you ask me π ), some interesting news in the web dev ecosystem, and of course - our dad joke of the day:
The word queue is ironic.
.
.
It's just q with a bunch of silent letters waiting in line.
Qwik v1.2 is out! π The north star being to never write a list of performance best practices or 100-tricks-to-make-your-site-fast. πΊ More DX, π» less best practices.
Adam & Yoav (me!) introduce Builder Devtools, another step forward in better developer experience when integrating Builderβs Visual Headless CMS.
Vercel is hyped on AI, so they put out their own AI SDK to help build AI apps (I dare you to say AI one more time).
Bundlejs is an alternative to Bundlephobia, what I like about it is that it has an API you can ping to add size checking to your workflows
Val Town is a tool that is a hybrid of GitHub gists and AWS Lambda. The lowdown is you write code on the browser and it executes on Val Towns servers. No way this can get abused.
Fresh 1.2, the Deno-first, edge-native full stack web framework was released. In it: sharing state between islands, limited npm support, and a new core maintainer.
Svelte 4 was released. Not a whole lot announced there, Itβs more like the pending for v5 release.
DevPod is an open source alternative to GitHub Codespaces.
Figma dev mode is an attempt to make developers like design tools.
Once again, a lot is happening, no project nor company are stopping putting out interesting stuff, and keeping tabs on it all is once heck of a job.
