Upcoming breaking changes for Splendid Layouts


Hey ,

This is probably one of the most ironic messages I’m gonna send because I’ve just ranted about breaking changes last week.

But I gotta tell you about these breaking changes in advance so you can ease into the new library as much as possible — although it’ll probably take some time before I get the documentations out.

(Life is tough, but I’m working on all the various fronts I can as we speak).

There are two major breaking changes coming with the upcoming version of Splendid Labz.

Today’s article goes into the reason why we’re making these breaking changes. This will be interesting if you like to hear behind-the-scenes stories and (fuck ups) that breaking changes from other libraries cause.

That’s it from me this week. Hope you have a great week.

If you’ve never heard of zlFetch before, it’s a library that I’ve created that helps you with the Fetch API. It provides a ton of quality of life improvements like: Automatic response solution (so no need to use response.json) Promise-like error handling Usage with await easily Simple Basic and Token based authentication headers And a ton of other things Just my personal opinion: It’s better than axios cos it’s less complicated It’s better than ky cos it has better defaults Last Sunday, I sat...

I’m happy to announce that I am working on a new course — Unorthodox Tailwind. This course shows you how to use Tailwind and CSS in a synergistic manner. This is a great course to take if you have been wondering: How to use the best parts of Tailwind How to use the best parts of CSS How to combine the strengths of both Tailwind and CSS (While avoiding the HTML bloat that usually comes with Tailwind classes) This is also a great course to take if you’ve been yearning for a great system to...
