Weekly News - 5/7/23
This newsletter will cover Google removing the lock icon, Vercel offering serverless storage, COPPA 2.0, and much more.
I have decided to continue writing this newsletter (for now), but offer it for free. This way, more of you can enjoy it. I also was busy this weekend, so I wasn't able to write summaries this week. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy!
