Web Tools Weekly
What a Tool!

Issue #328  (Frameworks, Testing, JS Utils)10/31/19

By the time this issue arrives in your inbox, I'll be just about to return from a vacation overseas, so this intro won't have anything special in terms of tips or coding.

As always, I appreciate everyone's support in helping this newsletter stay afloat and there's even been some decent subscriber growth in my other weekly newsletter Tech Productivity, which I have a lot of fun doing because it helps me find some really interesting articles on teams, remote work, success, and so forth. So check it out if you haven't done so already – it's always a brief newsletter (10 links maximum).

I'll be back with a regular intro next week, but in the mean time, enjoy the usual awesome weekly list of tools!

Before I Go...

CJSS is an interesting experiment. It's a library that you can include in your page and then build your entire page using just CSS. Not recommended for real use, but interesting to poke around the code.

Thanks to all for subscribing and reading!

Keep tooling,
