🎉 Excited to announce that I'm joining VoidZero as DevRel! As I was following the project from early on, I couldn't say no to the chance when @evanyou.me reached out. I can't wait to share all the incredible things lined up for @rolldown.rs, OXC, @vite.dev, and @vitest.dev 👀

We just sent $100,000 to 20 open source projects ($5000 each) that the Syntax team use regularly and depend on. Thanks to all the maintainers for all your time and efforts! Thanks to @sentry.io and @opensourcepledge.com for giving us the resources to do this. blog.sentry.io/another-year...

Hi all :) I'm looking to improve Storybook for Vue users. If you maintain a Vue design system or component library and don’t use Storybook, what stopped you? And if you tried it and dropped it, what was the moment you gave up?
