WWDC22 brings new WebKit features in Safari 16 Beta and other news on web technologies. Vivaldi users now have Mail, Feed reader, and Calendar tools in their browser.

WebKit Features in Safari 16 Beta

Announcing Front End Resources

I'm adding today a new section to this newsletter - the Front End Resource collection. Over time I've bookmarked a large number of tools, assets, and other helpful things. I'm now sharing them with you and I hope you will find many useful things there.

I am still working on ways to present this collection in a better and more useful way. Doing it on a static site generator, without a database, raises some specific challenges. I hope you will join me as I learn how to overcome them.


Wrapping things up

Ukraine is still suffering from the Russian invasion - if you are looking for ways to help, please check Smashing Magazine's article We All Are Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ or get in touch with your trusted charity.

If you enjoyed this newsletter, there are a couple of ways to support it:

Each of these helps me out, and I would appreciate your consideration.

That's all I have for this issue. Have a great and productive week, keep yourselves safe, spend as much time as possible with your loved ones, and I will see you again next time!
