Interesting Links (by date)

This page is a bunch of links I got from various newsletters and assorted sources that I think are interesting. New links are added as I find them, hopefully ordered by date.

April 2024

• What's new in Astro - March 2024
  Contains links to some interesting tutorials concering the new Astro DB, including:
  • How to Build a Views Counter with Astro DB
  • Going full-stack on Astro with Cloudflare D1 and Drizzle
• Waku; a nice minimalistic SSG, like Next.js but a lot smaller.
• Modern CSS patterns in Campfire
  A bunch of nice illustrations on ways to use modern CSS.
• Wedges
  Although I don't use React too much, this looks like a nice component library. MIT licensed.
• Front End Developer/Engineer Handbook 2024
  A nice (and extremely extensive) list of front-end technologies and paradigms to check. By FrontendMasters.

Before april 2024 (genesis)

• 100 things you can do on your personal website
  Self-explanatory but contains some pretty cool things I hadn't thought of. This article is one of the things that inspired me to make this list, actually.
• Flavio's list of sample Web App Ideas
  Flavio generally makes pretty good articles and sites, and this one has a bunch of nice ideas that seem both interesting and do-able as small projects to test new libraries and frameworks.
• No Maintenance Intended
  A badge for open source projects which are provided as-is. Will probably be using this.
• MAGICK.CSS (src)
  A classless CSS framework that's styled after LaTeX documents (among others) and looks like a scientific document. Pretty cool.
• Bootswatch
  A pretty old resource, with open source Bootstrap themes. People keep saying all Bootstrap sites look the same, but I think these themes show that you can pretty easily customize Bootstrap to look different.
• Foundation templates & Building Block Kits
  I don't use Foundation itself, but these templates provide a general structure that's actually pretty easy to translate into any other CSS framework.
