Let it snow

Queen's Log #012 Originally sent as a newsletter

Ahoy Shipmate,

Snow falling on websites is my absolute favorite!

Equal part whimsy, zen, and nostalgic.

So, my Christmas present to you this year is a platform-agnostic version of the Gatsby Let It Snow plugin from 3 years ago.

Paste and watch the snow falling:

Or head on over to outseta.com where designer James even gave the logo a holiday makeover.

Crew Highlights

🎄We successfully baked over 100 cookies for the Christmas market 🍪

🚀 Ola is migrating his blog from Gatsby to Astro and the Whee! Store from Wix to Shopify.

From the archives

Three years ago, I also baked a lot for the holidays, even while recording an episode of Slow & Steady.

And I do talk about baking quite a lot in this one…

We (@benediktdeicke and I) might have gone a little overboard in our praise of @stripe… https://twitter.com/SlowSteadyPod/status/1466029381743226881
