🌐 Internet's shortest URLs, Digitizing smell and Next.js 12.3

Hello there!

What a week it’s been: I (finally) published the latest version of Karma! Who would’ve thought working on a VS Code theme update would take me literally months? 😅 (It also has a new 💫 light mode!)

Also, since it’s only a week away—if you’re coming, see you at React India conf!
