Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

Many of the side things in Next 13 are still developing, and the docs are still being created. I wanted to stop our journey here for a while.
We had a great introduction to the new routing and layouts in Next 13.
I'd like to share my experience with my vision of the new Next and how I experienced it.
And to be frankly honest, I'm super hyped. I love that they when for a close-to-native development. And that we get more of island architecture.
This allows us to minimize the output to the client and make our components smaller and more individually responsible.
There are quite a few question marks as well on how certain things should work according to their best practices, and I hope we get some answers and guidance on those soon.
I'm keen to see some more intertwined actions via hooks. For instance, data needs input from another component (filtering a list).
Or more guidance on mutating data via updates, for instance.
You can expect some more articles on that soon.
I also expect to keep seeing more and more optimizations on the front-end side. We recently saw the font package being added, which is one great step forward. It's very likely to see embeds or videos as one of the next ones.
With that, I want to ask you what you would like to see covered or built into Next 13.
I would love to hear and discuss this with you all.
