#webdev #javascript #news #solidjs

Hello friends 👋
I know it is February already but let me start by wishing you all a happy new year! Given the lack of content during December, I decided to wait until February and compile everything from December to the end of January!
That said, it is time for the first of the year and our eleventh edition of This Month in Solid!
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Inspired by Ryan Carniato This Week in JavaScript and Sébastien Lorber This Week In React, I plan to publish a compilation of updates, posts, and videos about the Solid world at the end of every month.

Each post will be split in the following way:

Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, let's dive into our eleventh This Month in Solid without further ado.

Solid Updates

In December, we got a fantastic announcement: Dev Agrawal joined the Solid Core team!
