Dear subscribers,

Here's a short update of what I've been up to last month. Enjoy! 🎁

New Hotwire Club Challenges

I've published a new challenge for the Hotwire Club:

Stimulus - Image Upload Previews with URL.createObjectURL:  We explored how to display instantaneous image previews when uploading files.

Individual Hotwire Club Posts for Sale

So if you're holding back on a permanent subscription but are interested in individual solutions, you can now purchase them, just head over to https://www.patreon.com/TheHotwireClub:

And that's it for September - see you next month! ✌️
