April 2021, Week 1

Sreetam Das' newsletter

Hello there!

I’m getting back to working on my website! I’ll be adding a (proper) mobile layout and RSS feed to begin with, and I’ll be writing about my experience with it. Stay tuned for that :)

Personal News

I spoke at React Day Bangalore! It was a lightning talk about building a greenscreen with React and HTML Elements. This was my first ever conference talk and I am really glad at how well received it was. You can check out the VOD and the slides, and even see it live in action.

Keyboards

I got better at typing! This was one of my best tests so far, but I’ve been averaging about 80-90 WPM now so it’s definitely a lot of progress. In case you’d like to give it a shot as well, check out monkeytype.

I also bought a couple of keycap sets! They’re not going to be delivered anytime soon but they look absolutely beautiful:
