Link Roundup

Slack PMs to myself

I’m constantly logging links in PMs to myself on Slack to various tools, articles, videos, etc, that I come across and don’t want to lose. Figured, I’d share those in a more curated fashion here. Not sure if this will be a weekly thing, a monthly thing, or just when I get around to it, but here is the recent batch.

Nolt - a road mapping tool that seems very well done. it can take feedback from users and can be set as private to only those you invite, which is ideal for things like internal software.

Taming the beast that is the Django ORM by David Hang - great article on really flexing the ORM. As someone who has been building things with Django since the earliest of days, I still learned a few things in this piece.

Editor.js - My current work doesn’t call for a rich editor but if that changes, this is what I’ll be checking out. Haven’t done a lot of work with various rich editors in previous work, I’ve never found something that wasn’t crusty or had buggy edge cases. This one shows promise and hope the experience lives up to the well done marketing pages.

Mailhub - I need to add transactional mail support to the current application I’m building and when I, I’ll be reaching for this to help with that effort. Can build email templates using Tailwind? Say no more!

tailscale - frankly, I don’t even know where to start with this but when you are building enterprise software that runs on the cloud, have thousands of custom IoT devices in the field, and on-premise services and need everything to tie together, this seems like something that will help.

100 Exercises to Learn Rust - been wanting to carve out some time to learn Rust. The firmware for the BrewBots we’ve designed, built, and deployed on our trailers is written in Rust and it’d be good for me to fully understand the code and be able to contribute patches to it.
