#10: React Roundtable, I Quit tRPC, OSS Vercel Preview Comments, Next.js + Python

Welcome to the 10th edition of Next.js Weekly! 🥳 It's hard to believe that just two months ago, I started this newsletter.

Since then, Next.js Weekly has grown exponentially. Today, we have an incredible community of over 3000 subscribers, including Indie Hackers, FAANG engineers, and other passionate Next.js developers.

I am super grateful for this level of interest and support. Thank you so much for being a part of this amazing journey! 🙏❤️
