I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I know how busy you must be.  It's just we could do more to promote this site.  Does the twitter thingie work for you?

Hi Michael, nice to meet you. When is the next meeting? I may need some time to prepare and practice. The talk I'm writing outlines how we use Docker with the Gradle build tool to empower local development of cloud applications. Examples will include Grails and Spring Boot.

Hey Mike!

So cool Jim Clarke will be having a talk at OJUG! What are the chances his talk might be recorded? I have his book and am a huge fan. Love to get his view on the continued value in native development.

TornadoFX workshop should be recorded for tomorrow at Chicago GDG: I'll be sure to post in Kotlintown!

React 19.3: Adds a browser() API, Giving Client-Only Rendering a First-Class Name

React 19.3 was released on September 9, introducing several features including the react-dom browser() API.
