Newsletter #009: Open Source Treats — Lodash, Yeoman & Express 🎃

🚧 #yeoman Maintenance Reboot Update 🚧

As part of the ongoing #Yeoman maintenance reboot (https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/1779), we’ve archived and deprecated several legacy packages and repositories that are no longer actively maintained or relevant to modern workflows ✨

I love #Remarkjs for creating #slides from #Markdown, that is, until I noticed the library is ~650 kB. So, then I went full on #FrugalComputing and looked for the smallest #HTML #presentation library...
