Yet Another Newsletter LOL: Promises

#nativewind #reactnative #javascript #css

Last week there was no newsletter as I had to deal with getting my Internet back. That's all sorted, so back at it. It did make me realize, though, that for me work wise and content creation wise that sending this out every couple weeks might work better for my schedule. Please let me know what you think about the newsletter cadence.

With that, another week, another newsletter. Let's get to it!

Around the Web

Lydia Hallie (@lydiahallie) is back with another great visual explainer. This time on promises. Check out, JavaScript Visualized - Promise Execution.

A great quick demo of the new @scope keyword in CSS from Kevin Powell (@kevinpowell)

NativeWind is a styling library for React Native. I'm still super/barely new to React Native (RN), but NativeWind brings Tailwind syntax to RN. They're also dropping a NativeWindUI (paid product), that I'm wondering if it's a good option if I start to build out RN experiences. If you've used NativeWind, I'd love to hear about your experience with it.

If you're looking to whip up something quick in Tailwind for a demo or quick prototype, Cassidy's gotchu! Check ourt her Tailwind CSS Blank Template on CodePen.

Fun Stuff

Shameless Plugs

Lot's has been going on over the past couple weeks, but I'll drop some of the highlights.

Hanging with @jamonholmgren to dive into Ignite, a battle-tested React Native project boilerplate, along with a CLI, component/model generators, and more!

Diving into Temporal to build durable systems with @pmbanugo.

Chilling with Brian Morrison to discuss content creation and networking for devs.

I've also started to stream my work since it's open source, so head on over to nickyt.live so you can follow on Twitch or YouTube. I'm also streaming to Twitter/X and LinkedIn, so if that's more your jam, you can follow there as well.

That's a wrap! Until the next one.

Here’s all the places you can find me on the web:
