⚛️ React 18 is here!?!
Hello there!
What a week it's been — we (finally) heard from the React team about The Plan for React 18, I love that there is finally more communication from their side (Thank you @cassidoo!). Speaking of which, the Twitter space they hosted was great too! Lots of interesting tidbits in there, including the revelation that React's initial name was "FBolt", and the React logo even has a nod to it. 🤯
I added another [hidden] challenge to my website over the weekend! It gave me an opportunity to use API routes on Next.js, and to brew some coffee. 😉
