As a long time Nx user, I am pumped about this release. I would use Nx for literally any web development project, but it is especially useful when you want to implement a monorepo (i.e. multiple apps in one large shared codebase).
Besides providing so much value for your own project, one extra benefit of Nx that I've found is that it so many JavaScript devs are using it now that there ends up...

Having smart alerts right out of the box is really amazing and could be a huge game changer. So many of the tools in this space require a ton of up front investment to initially configure and then manually adjust on a regular basis.
The idea that I can have a product that just tells me when something is potentially wrong with my data is awesome. Can't wait to try this out.

This is so awesome! I always tell developers looking for jobs to find an inside connection. Don't just blindly send your resume to the company recruiter. Signal makes it easy to network your way into a company.

Tim is the most talented designer I have ever worked with and I love that he was able to put so much of his knowledge and experience into one tight package.
Pros: Quick access to invaluable information for designer and developers that want to create awesome products.
Cons: I feel like this would make an awesome podcast series. Tim, please make that happen!

Ionic is one of the best pieces of front end technology out there and they have always been strong advocates for the web. I love what they have been doing with framework recently and this podcast is super interesting.
Pros: I have known Mike for years. He is hilarious and basically knows everything.
Cons: Mike's beard

This IMO is the ultimate version of what Drafted has always meant to be. Leverage your network and your friends networks to find the right person for the right job. I have always been impressed by the product that Drafted has created, but this takes it to another level. If you are trying to hire at least one person a month, you would be insane not to use this platform.
Pros: More reliable,...

We use loom primarily for GitHub PRs, but I am going to start using it more in our Slack channel as well now.

I have been a huge fan of Loom since their original beta. Last week I tweeted that while Loom was my favorite tool for recording video, I do use ScreenFlow for editing. With this new editing feature, though, it's Loom all the way for me from now on!
