Introducing Spin 2.0
Passkeys? In Crux? With #Fermyon Spin? Can it get any more cutting edge??
Awesome work by @stuartharris, and a great example of nesting Crux apps
Today marks a year of working at #Fermyon and honestly it feels simultaneously longer and like it was yesterday.
The team is awesome and I'm amazed at some of the things we've shipped since Oct 22 😅
A healthy take on company-sponsored Open Source, from #Fermyon
