#2 Safari of love

Hello 👋🏼 frontendies! It's our second issue this year, I mean EVER, and I'm thrilled to have every single one of you on board - there are eleven (yes, 11) of us already - I call it a very exclusive and prestigious club! We're still accepting, so don't be afraid to send a link to your friends 😉. Now, let's get back to business!

February is all about love... and Safari's team decided to use their passion to roll out a year's worth of features this month! Maybe Safari will shake off the "new IE" name at some point 🤷🏼‍♂️ Either way, great features and improvements are much appreciated! Other than that, some tailwind tools and courses, new stuff from TC39, TypeScript beta, Eleventy v2, and much more - happy reading!

Lots of new and fascinating stuff is coming our way in the JavaScript world - some of them, like "Change Array by copy" are in stage 4. However, I'm mostly excited by 'with' so I can finally replace items in one line without resolving to index 👌🏼 What is your favorite feature?

We celebrated container queries last month, with Firefox finally moving them to beta, but this time around, we got a lovely valentines day's gift from Mozilla - Firefox v110 stable release with holly grail Container Queries 🎉

Entirely unexpected development but nonetheless quite welcome - Safari introduced a masonry layout in their latest technology preview! There is a chance we'll be able to create beautiful photo galleries with 2 lines of CSS soon! 🎨

TypeScript is approaching its new major release! Version number 5 is almost ready and got to the beta phase. Lots of new features and changes. Go check out the detailed announcement on Microsoft's dev blog.

The beta release of iOS 16.4 brings tons of Safari upgrades (still quite a shame that Safari is tied to iOS releases) and one that undoubtedly stands out - Web Push support for PWAs! I still need to create PWA, but this is big news for anyone in that space - Safari was one of the last blockers in the broader adoption of this approach.

New project straight from a former member of the Tailwind team: Pro Tailwind - Advanced Tailwind CSS Concepts & Patterns! Simon just released the first multi-theme strategy workshop, which looks very promising!

Yet another linear-inspired website, but this time it's quite unique - I love all the lovely interactive details like these clickable dots at the top of the page and the nice grainy textures used throughout the design. Performance on my M1 is excellent, but lighthouse doesn't agree - 54 points for performance and 88 for accessibility on mobile 😬. Design top-notch - implementation… I guess you can do better than that.

A fascinating tool from one of the most popular live code/snippet/playground platforms, codesandbox.io, that allows you to run almost any nodejs code in the browser! Imagine you can run Vitejs or any other build tool in your client! Endless possibilities!

One of my favorite static site generators finally got another major release, and it's smaller and faster than before! On top of that, it brings support for WebC - single file web components!

Good article on how to approach building reusable and extensible components. Designing components interface is not easy, and mistakes are often quite expensive - give this article 5 minutes and save yourself some pain.
