Hi šŸ‘‹. Welcome to the first issue of JAMstacked. The goal of this newsletter is to keep you up-to-date in the new and fast moving JAMstack ecosystem. As someone who has been involved since the early days of "static sites", I hope to provide you not just with the latest info, but with the context you need to make use of it.
