Winners 🔥🔥🔥

In the FIRST place, we have Using Next.js + Playwright + GitHub Actions to Make a To-Do App by @kantarci.

“The tech stack market is expanding more and more and seeing everything in action is the easiest way to see the benefits. I decided to create a combination of Next.js, Playwright, GitHub Actions, and Foresight to create an E2E stack for a web application.”

Congratulations on coming in first @kantarci, you’ve won $500! Here’s what one of our editors said about your story:

“A really good read, it is very minimalistic and easy to understand.”

The SECOND place goes to 4 Common NFT Contract Design Anti-Patterns by @kralizec.

“The NFT boom has happened, and is still happening (as of this writing in July of 2022). Etherscan has a handy search utility which, along with its handy verification and decompiling features, lets you peek at the code of many ERC721 to compare. Along with many well-designed contracts, we can also see many make the same mistakes over and over”

Congratulations @kralizec, you’ve won $300 !!

The THIRD place goes to React 18 Suspense fetch data from a headless CMS by @naira.

“To deliver a great website user experience, we need to optimize the first initial page load time and the page's responsiveness to interaction. The faster your page responds to user input – the better.”

Great Job @naira, you’ve won $100 !!

Last but not least, the Most Read Story Award goes to Making Your Code Look Pretty by @marcinwosinek.

“When you are new to programming, you’re focused on making your code work—not on making it look pretty.”

Awesome story! Congrats @marcinwosinek, on getting the most reads (5700+ Reads!!!) and winning $100 !!

We will contact the winners shortly!
