A Drip of JavaScript

In plain words

A Drip of JavaScript is a newsletter delivering short articles about practical JavaScript programming concepts. It targets intermediate JavaScript developers and beginners with prior programming experience who want to stay current without constantly monitoring tech news sources. Rather than covering breaking industry news, each issue focuses on a specific aspect of JavaScript development, offering curated education directly to subscribers' inboxes.

From the sources

In the maker’s words, at launch

Over the past couple of years, I've been very impressed by Kale Davis's Hacker Newsletter and Peter Cooper's entire newsletter empire.

Humor me. 1st let me tell you how I came upon hacker news, and why I read it everyday.<p>I'm not a programmer, and only half-decent designer. I'm much more of a 'project manager' type of person. I wrote a blog post 2 years ago on how to do a fancy trick with css3 with box shadows. It was clever, and has been expanded and implemented all over the web.

  A native Hacker News reader with integrated todo/done tracking2025 · github.com · ▲54

  Hey HN! I'm excited to share a tool I've been working on - a native Hacker News reader built with Rust and egui. Here's a screenshot: https://github.com/haojiang99/hacker_news_reader/blob/main/s.... As a daily HN reader, I've always struggled with keeping track of interesting posts I want to read later. Browser tabs pile up, bookmarks get forgotten, and I lose track of what I've already read. I needed a way to: 1. Browse HN efficiently (across all sections - hot, new, show, ask, jobs, best) 2.
