Sentry is a great tool to track errors and performance issues in your application - but the Nuxt module is not Nuxt 3 compatible yet.

Speaking

Check out my latest talks, podcast episodes and other appearances, as well as upcoming events.

Starting a new frontend project today means a long series of choices: which framework, which testing tool, which linter, which formatter, which runtime? And each of those choices usually means another tool with its own configuration, another dependency and another thing that can break.

The Angular Plus Show invited me over to talk about - yes - Vite. A bit of a crossover episode, given my Vue/Nuxt background, but it turns out the future of Vite, Rolldown and Oxc is very much a cross-framework story.
