💎 Product Gems Weekly #1

Edgaras here. Welcome to the first issue of my newsletter!

---

I spend way too much time scrolling through tech, design and development news (probably should cut back on that), but hey, at least now I can share the good stuff with you.

Each week, I'll drop a few interesting bits I've found about designing, building and selling products online. Just things I think are cool or useful.

Anyway, here's what caught my eye this week:

Top gem picks of the week:

🥇 Bolt.new is probably the hottest AI tool in town this week/month for building any kind of website or application. Check out surprising things people are building with it. It's also open-sourced under MIT license!

🥈 Next.js had a conf this week and they released bunch of cool stuff. One of the big topic - self-hosting. Here you can find a list of self-hosted Next.js templates for different hosts/services. And here is another package - Quickly that helps self-hosting Next.js.

🥉 Miro Released Innovation Workspaces that helps Product Mangers and Designers to turn sticky noted into working prototypes.
