Hi there friend 👋

I hope the year is off to a good start! I’ve been willing to send out a new issue of this newsletter a bit earlier but got distracted busy, but for a good reason: I finally got started, and got pretty far, with Three.js, the Javascript 3D library.

This one was on my personal roadmap for way over a year, to be honest, but I kept pushing it back and every time I’d try to get into it I’d give up at the first challenge. I know many of you have been there and reached out after seeing me posting my progress on Twitter to ask for some advice I’d give in their own learning journey. So I thought I’d dedicate this newsletter to some of the steps I took/projects I made and also why I decided to do it now.

Hi there friend 👋

First and foremost, I want to thank some of the new subscribers of this newsletter who took the time to write to me to introduce themselves and ask some very interesting questions. It was so nice to read from you and interact with you! Your support is very much appreciated!

If you run a blog, work on a project that relies on ranking high on Google Search Engine, or hang around on Twitter and follow a bunch of frontend developers, chances are you might have heard the words Core Web Vitals, thrown around left and right in the past few months. At least on my end, my feed was filled with people showcasing their scores or sharing their concerns with Google rolling out this new metric.

Hi there friend 👋

This issue came out a little bit later than I'd have liked to as I was preparing a move and interviewing throughout March and April. However, despite being so busy, I still got reminded of a pretty big milestone recently: It's been one year that I started to learn, write and build in public!

Hi there 👋

I've recently been working on removing a lot of third-party packages on my websites and blog. The aim was to rely on as few dependencies as possible for any UI-related elements. While doing that I noticed something...

Most of the libraries I was using for things like lazy loading images or Scrollspy I was trying to replace were using the same thing under the hood: a little Javascript API called the Intersection Observer API and this is going to be the main subject of this second issue of my newsletter. ✨

Hi there 👋

First of all, thank you for subscribing and reading the first issue of my newsletter. I'm excited to share more content with you through this medium!

In this first issue, I wanted to talk about data visualization libraries for React.
