Hello everyone! I'm Sébastien Dubois, your host (I'm on Twitter). You're receiving this email because you signed up for DeveloPassion's Newsletter. Thank you for being here with me ✨

Welcome to the 124th edition

The good news is that now, I have the basis for creating pages and implementing APIs on the back-end. There are a gazillion more things I want to implement, but it will not come in a week ;-)

I've also improved the organization's page on GitHub:

I implemented some templates for issues and feature requests:

Alright, let's gooooo 🚀

I think it will help me further improve the Obsidian Starter Kit in the coming weeks. Speaking of which, I've decided to put more energy into it. The project backlog is too long 😂

In the last 30 days, I've made ~$1K from my indie projects.

Last but not least, in the last 30 days, I've made ~$1K from my indie projects. The one thing I hope is to convince more of you to become paid subscribers of this newsletter.

New articles

I’ve published an article about happiness and work, sharing my ideas about how to make the right choices for yourself.

Book of the week
