JSJam Live, Wednesday at 12pm PT
Join us this week for another open mic to discuss all the JavaScript news of the week. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, we'd love to see you there! Last week we had Dev Agrawal join us to talk all about Clerk and of course we got in a few conversations about AI cause I just can't help myself.
Story of the Week
Have you ever wanted a social network built around easily shareable and runnable code snippets? If so, Val Town is just the project for you! Creator, Steve Krouse, joined the show to give a demonstration of Val Town, how it works, and what you can do with it.
It's a fascinating and unique project that I highly recommend you check out and see what kind of use cases you can find for it.

One More Thing
Do you want a library that does all the stuff that JavaScript does but tricks you into thinking you're actually writing HTML? Then HTMX is for you!!! HTMX is an open-source JavaScript library that allows you to access AJAX, WebSockets, Server Sent Events, and other dynamic elements directly from HTML, without (seemingly) needing to write any JavaScript.
