Hello OPO.network community!

We’re still doing it! We haven’t given up! We are curating content for you all to enjoy without the endless clickbait, and basic articles rolling around your RSS feeds.

This month’s recommended list is quite good and has some cool libraries, tools, etc. So let’s get to it!

Monthly must read & watch

We think it’s a good size so far, but we’re willing to make the change.

We hope you found this list of content helpful.
