Dad jokes and HTTP requests in Elm — dev.to

In this installment of "Learning Elm in the Open" series, Kristofer Giltvedt Selbekk creates a dad joke app!

Making Little Games Like Presents Martin Stewart tells the behind-the-scenes story of how his game Circuit Breaker (built entirely in Elm, of course) came to be, starting with an ambitious plan to surprise his sister on her birthday.

Tools and Projects

A is for API - Introducing Static HTTP Requests — elm-pages.com

Ryan Haskell-Glatz released a new project called elm-spa: it's a framework (think NextJS, Rails, or .NET MVC, not React or Vue) for building web apps in Elm.
