DevTips Daily Update 01/04/22

So we're getting towards the end of our end-to-end project where we're creating a 'Rick Rolling' app.

We did some cool stuff though this week, including some date formatting with DayJS, buying a new 'short' domain to use in our app and also a bit of nginx configuration to point our new domain to our existing app!

Next week, we’re going to be finishing off our app completely! There’s just a bit of work to do on tidying up styling and adding some mobile responsiveness!

Thanks for watching 👍
