Vue.js London Tickets and Date! Build your own reactivity system with Proxies and more!

In case you haven’t noticed, this is the 100th issue! 🎉

It means we’re doing this for around 700 days now! And since last week, we passed the 10,000 subscribers mark! It has been an awesome journey so far and I’m extremely grateful to everyone involved in making the Official Vue News what it is now. This includes Evan You (for creating Vue), Krzysztof Jung (for starting it with me), Monterail (for the constant financial support), Gregg Pollack and Adam Jahr from Vue Mastery (for bringing it to the next level) and all the other people that helped along the way! This wouldn’t be possible without your help.

I really hope we can do this for the next 700 days. 💚

Until then, enjoy this week's stories!

Btw, you can now get tickets for Vue.js London conference!
