Around the Web

If you’re on Bluesky, I’m @nickyt.online. I’ve been enjoying the new social network, but it’s still early days. Kudos to the team working on it. Wes Bos created a nifty CLI tool for it using the new AT Protocol API. You can post to Bluesky, see your timeline etc.
Devon Govett recently mentioned the React Aria NumberField component on Twitter. It looks pretty awesome and reminds me I must build something with React Aria. New to React Aria? It’s a library of React Hooks that provides accessible UI primitives for your design system. Check it out!
I really enjoy Jack Herrington’s content, and he posted a banger of a video recently, How To Fix NextJS 13’s N+1 Problem. It was a great video, and I also discovered a new tool called oha! I recommend you check out both.

Fun Stuff

This cracked me up. Groan lol
