Welcome to Day 20 of “Frontend Rewind 2023”!

Join us for another day in our special calendar filled with frontend delights! Today brings a special treat—a discount for Daniel’s Three.js course!

☕ Fun fact: In Sweden, the tradition of “Fika” warms up the winter months. Fika is more than just a coffee break; it’s a social institution. Swedes take time to enjoy coffee and pastries with friends or colleagues, creating a cozy atmosphere amid the winter chill. The simplicity of sharing a warm cup and conversation fosters connections and provides a delightful respite during the darker days of winter in Sweden.
