In this article, I'll show you how to integrate Sentry into your Nuxt 3 application, even before the module is ready and also share why it takes longer than you might think to build the module.

[GERMAN] Meta-Frameworks haben sich in den letzten Jahren rapide entwickelt — so auch Nuxt mit seiner letzten Major-Version Nuxt 3!

What do a SaaS landing page, a blog, and an e-commerce store have in common? They should all be easily found through search engines by as many people as possible. This makes Search Engine Optimization (SEO) crucial for the success and revenue of your project.

Meta-frameworks have developed rapidly in recent years - and so did Nuxt with its latest major version Nuxt 3! But also in the seven minor releases after the big major launch, feature development didn't stop! Wonder what the fuzz is about? Let's have a look!

[GERMAN] Es war wieder so weit! Nach fast drei Jahren durfte ich mal wieder zu Gast bei den Jungs von der programmier.bar sein! Dieses mal quatschten Jan, Sebi und ich mal wieder über Nuxt, was sich in den letzten 3 Jahren so geändert hat und worauf wir uns zukünftig freuen dürfen!
