Quasarians in Action #16. With Staff Pick of the Week!

[s.molinari]

We would like to thank all of you, our awesome Quasar community. And in a spirit of give and share we’d like to present our cherry-picked community contributions with you. One of the contributions is picked by the team as our “Pick of the Week” to honor who we felt made the best contribution (outside of the core team).

We encourage you, the Quasar community, to organize local meetups. To support you we have created new Discord #conferences channel and pinned the issue https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/issues/5983 where you can post desired meetup locations which includes the map as well.
Once the meetup is planned, please share the event link, ideally a week or two ahead. We will reach out to the Quasar community and ask Quasar core members to participate as well.

Tips of the Week

When you run quasar dev and it stops somewhere near the end and doesn’t complete, cancel out of that, then run quasar build --debug. Usually, you will get the error displayed at build-time as opposed to the dev run-time.
