I did something Iโ€™ve never done before ๐Ÿฟ + Free Lessons


Hey Reader,

Soโ€ฆ I just launched something Iโ€™ve been secretly working on for over a year ๐Ÿ˜….

Itโ€™s called The Modern Full Stack Next.js Course, a self-paced, interactive course where we actually ship modern, production-grade apps together (7+ real projects, 30+ exercises).

Over 300+ developers around the world have already joined in the first 48 hours which blows my mind ๐Ÿคฏ.

If youโ€™ve ever felt stuck trying to connect frontend and backend, decide between SSR/SSG/ISR, or ship something real beyond a โ€œtoyโ€ appโ€ฆ this might be for you.

Use code: LAUNCHPARTY for 50% off, or use the PPP code from the website banner, whichever is cheaper.

โฐ Deal ends tonight at 5 PM ESTโ€‹
