Something that interested me this week

I made some fun things this week!

First off, I wrote up a blog post on migrating existing Next.js projects to Netlify. I noticed quite a few people asking questions about it, so hopefully it's helpful for folks.

On my livestream on Thursday, I thought it'd be fun to try building React with Vite for the first time! We made a morse code translator where you can pick an emoji to represent the dots and dashes. Useful, no, but fast, yes! Check out the repo here!

Sponsor

This week’s sponsor is ConvertKit. Specifically, ConvertKit Commerce: the best way to sell digital products and earn a living as a creator.

In just a few minutes you can create a product and embed it in your site or simply link it directly from anywhere on the web. You can sell ebooks, guides, paid email courses, coaching, paid newsletters, music, templates, and so much more. When you make a sale, the credit card processing fees are just 3.5% + $.30 of each transaction.

Joe Previte sold 210 copies of Vim for VSCode at $10 each, earning $2,100 on ConvertKit Commerce. He said, “This is my first-time selling a digital product online...it shows you the true power of the internet and what's possible for solo creators to sell products online.”

ConvertKit is used by a wide range of creators to connect with their fans, from developers like Dan Abramov and Adam Wathan, to authors like Gretchen Rubin and James Clear, to musicians like Leon Bridges, Lindsey Stirling, and Tim McGraw.

If you’ve got something to teach or sell, do it on ConvertKit Commerce.
