Issue #306 (Netmag Feature, Text Editors, JSON Tools, Media)05/30/19
By the time this email reaches your inbox, I'll be just finishing up a short little vacation, so there's no coding tip in this week's intro, as I'm pre-scheduling this issue.
I have been doing a lot of writing lately outside of the newsletter. Back in December I helped with a cover feature for Net Magazine, which was later published online on their sister site:
I also just finished an article on DOM API features for the LogRocket blog. By the time you get this, it should be published there. In either case, feel free to look around their blog because lately they've been regularly publishing some good content for web developers.
And in case you didn't notice, I've stopped doing "Productivity Tools" in this newsletter, because I recently started a new newsletter called Tech Productivity, where I now include all productivity tools as well as some great articles on being a productive tech worker. And in line with the theme of the newsletter, it's always brief!
Now on to this week's tools!
