Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or capitalism, but it makes a political statement. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web" and I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

Also, yippee! I'm a React Grad! I've been working on and off with React for a few years but @joshwcomeau.com's course 'The Joy Of React' gave me so much more confidence working with the framework. Doesn't feel SO tricky anymore.
I can't wait to share some wonderful projects with you all!

I just finished porting my android app "Blue Coin Tracker" into a react based web app. Now anyone can use it!
Check it out if you want some help suffering through 100%'ing Super Mario Sunshine:

🎊 Happy New Year!

I discovered a lot of very cool dev stuff in 2024, from libraries to devtools to educational resources. Thought it’d be fun to share them all, to help kickstart your 2025!

Let’s go through the list. 🧵
