# Discover Dev News with every new tab you open - thanks to daily.dev! [Week 35/20 in Review] *If you like my [articles](https://hashnode.com/@natterstefan), you probably like my [tweets](https://twitter.com/natterstefan) and [newsletter](https://newsletter.natterstefan.me/) too. Let's connect on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/in/natterstefan). 🚀* --- Hello 👋🏻. Welcome to my "Week in Review" series. Each week I will share what I discovered, learned, and tested with you. Besides the fact that I celebrated my 6,000 follower milestone, a lot has happened in the last week. Especially the hype around [daily.dev](https://api.daily.dev/get?r=w9JUQ3y0I) is the topic of my today's issue. --- ## Highlights Last week I reached my [**6,000 follower milestone**](https://twitter.com/natterstefan)! Awesome. So much has happened since the beginning of the year on Twitter for me. I am very happy that I can entertain 6,000 people on Twitter and share my knowledge with them. You guys are great! %[https://twitter.com/chriskalmar/status/1298383978454491137] A big thank you to Chris for this mega picture! I still can't believe it. Mega. Here is the making-off to it: %[https://twitter.com/chriskalmar/status/1298528903573712897] Another highlight of the last week for me was the many feedbacks on my open-source tweet. A lot of you got in touch and shared your open source projects with others. Thanks. I discovered some cool new tools which I will try out. %[https://twitter.com/natterstefan/status/1298676562326368259] --- ## Daily.Dev %[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oso6dYXw5lc] In the last few days, but also already weeks ahead, I keep seeing tweets mentioning, praising, and sharing the [daily.dev](https://api.daily.dev/get?r=w9JUQ3y0I). Not least because of the [cooperation](https://twitter.com/dailydotdev/status/1300396014059257857) with [Hashnode](https://hashnode.com/@natterstefan/joinme), the free and open-source browser extension enjoys great popularity. Why is it so popular, what makes it so special? On the website, we read "Discover Dev News with zero effort". That sounds promising. A few clicks later and the extension is installed. Now with every new tab, I see article suggestions from all kinds of resources ([Alligator](https://alligator.io?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me), [Apollo Blog](https://www.apollographql.com/blog/?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me), [DailyJS](https://medium.com/dailyjs?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me), [dev.to](https://dev.to/natterstefan), [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com/blog/?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me), and many more). With a free account, you can also add bookmarks and comments. And did I mention that you can create your own lists of articles (*[Premium](https://api.daily.dev/get?r=w9JUQ3y0I)*)? It feels good to have the latest news from the industry presented with each new tab. I don't have to find the news, they find me. :D The extension is great and I recommend everyone to try it because it costs nothing. What do you think of the extension? Do you use it too? What do you like best? ## 📗 Books I currently read ["We Are All Leaders: Leadership is not a position, it's a mindset" by Fredrik Arnander](https://amzn.to/3kRLadF). *What are you reading?

Awesome and thanks! - In the last couple of days, I had to add several animations to our application with [react-transition-group](http://reactcommunity.org/react-transition-group/css-transition?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me) and CSS animations. At one point I needed to figure out how to ["Restart a CSS animation"](https://css-tricks.com/restart-css-animation/?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me). Interesting learning.
