JSter #245 - Libraries and more

You know, you don't JavaScript much, do you?

Future Frontend 2025 was a success and we wrote a recap about the event. Apart from that, it has been a pretty cool and rainy Summer in Finland so far and we were somehow lucky during the conference. If you want to participate the next one (8-9.6.26, Espoo, Finland), consider preregistering to Future Frontend 2026.
