Alpine.js Weekly - Alpine.js Devtools Launched

You can now get the Alpine.js Devtools, (repo is Te7a-Houdini/alpinejs-devtools), you can get it as a Chrome Extension or Firefox Add-on. Big thanks to @Te7aHoudini for kickstarting that project, and @ryangjchandler for his previous forays into it.

Late last week (a couple hours after the latest newsletter issue went out), Alpine.js passed 6k stars on GitHub, we’re now sitting around 6.2k, pretty cool to see the influx of people in the issues and the Discord.

The Alpine.js Community helped Caleb refactor x-for during a YouTube stream.

As part of Alpine.js Weekly I’ve released Alpine.js Collections: components, tools, articles, demos & more where you’ll find an always up to date, categorised list of items featured on the newsletter (past & future).

Some cool new projects are leveraging Alpine.js
