The fun thing about this is that Mat gets this content direct from @piccalil.li because everything — including emails — is in a content collection. A quick API route for him and he rigs it up to his Eleventy site. Lovely stuff.

The third JavaScript for Everyone newsletter is out, and in it we reveal the upcoming look-and-feel for the course. It is _rad as hell_. So, naturally, I spent the whole time writing about 15–20 seconds of Escape from New York (1981). piccalil.li/emails/mat-u...

Morning fam! I thought I'd just share some ways that you can support @piccalil.li. We're completely independent and focus everything on providing high quality education. We can do so much more and want to do it full time, but we need your support to do that. First we have an open collective.
