👀 Back after a sabbatical.
Hello there!
It's been a while. 😅 I'm back after taking the last month off—I got super busy with a buuunch of different things, I even visited Bangalore after so long!
I also spoke at React Day Bangalore 😍 The individual talks should be edited and out soon, but until then you catch the (timestamped) VOD on YouTube—I spoke about The Perfect Dark Mode. 🌙
Wanna share this with someone? You can send them here 😄
Onto this week!
