Under the Hood

The story began when I was writing my newsletter.

While reading a bunch of javascript weekly articles online I’ve found an extensive list of open-source packages one-by-one.

We often need or rely on such packages but never discuss them as a tech stack or project.

These small cool packages are a good learning source as well as provide an experience to understand how open-source works in the real world.

Let’s not waste time and start !!

Conclusion

As well open-source projects are also a good inspiration to begin.

That's it for today, see you in the next one
