Web-Crunch Digest - Issue #196

Web-Crunch Digest - Issue #196
By Andy L • Issue #196 • View online
Greetings!
Welcome to another Web-Crunch digest. This week I came back with some new content after suffering from a bit of burnout. I have a tendency to take on too much at once. As a maker/designer/developer I have endless amounts of ideas to build new things on the side of working full-time. It’s no surprise this catches up to me every so often.
If you’re ever suffering from burn out this is just a friendly reminder that it’s perfectly okay to pause working towards your goals. Maintaining good health, both physically and mentally are super important.
What happened this week
I broke ground on a new Tailwind CSS-based series where I build individual components you might use in the wild. To kick things off I start with Card components. The goal of this series is to help non-designer-focused developers be able to code their own components using my guides as examples.
I also recorded part 19 of my Let’s Build for Ruby and Rails developers series. The work on this series has been slow but steady. I still haven’t skipped a beat in filming the entire journey so I hope I can keep up that streak!
Some other bullet points:
  • The YouTube channel just broke 14k subscriptions. That’s amazing. Thank you if you’re a subscriber 🙏.
  • I got a sweet new camera that I plan to help increase the production quality of my tutorials/vlogs. I’m still learning the ropes of the camera but look for some new and improved content soon.
  • I’m considering starting a private community where we could talk shop, network, and learn from each other. Is that something you’d be interested in?

This is probably my favorite album following the early days of Bullet For My Valentine. I can’t say I like the direction they’ve been going today but they have some bangers!
