Easy to use HTML components in Go. They are literally just functions. Get type safety and a really simple to use syntax. Looks pretty useful. https://www.gomponents.com

Be careful with class methods in Ruby. Generally there are better ways to structure your code. Scopes and instance methods are probably preferable. https://www.campsite.com/blog/class-methods-are-rubys-useeffect

Project Turnable lets you rotate 2D vectors. Every time I think I don't need Adobe software they release something awesome. This could be super useful for NFT game devs. https://www.creativebloq.com/design/adobes-new-image-rotation-tool-is-one-of-the-most-impressive-ai-concepts-weve-seen

I just made it to Patagonia and it is absolutely gorgeous. Lakes all around me with white capped peaks in the distance.

Details on a new open source fund! From 10-100k per supported project. Maybe a lucky dev here could get some funding. https://floss.fund/blog/announcing-floss-fund/

Chrome is disabling uBlock Origin because manifest v2 extensions are getting purged. You have a couple options, switch to uBlock Origin Lite, or the better option, is take the time to finally update to Brave! https://www.pcmag.com/news/googles-chrome-browser-starts-disabling-ublock-origin

Stack Wallet is my favorite mobile wallet. I can point it at my own Fulcrum server, it supports Tor, and even supports CashFusion, making it the most private mobile wallet for BCH. Plus it is multi currency, supporting Monero, Ethereum, and a bunch of other coins. Oh, and did I mention it is available for every platform, both mobile and desktop. It is a game changer. https://stackwallet.com/
