My Keep/Stop/Start 2026 plans for the Angular community. Always quite busy 😅
Too limited on Bluesky to do in details, so let's sum it up to: Admin, Moderator, Organizer, Contributor, Blogger, Speaker, Creator
What's the most downloaded major Angular version?
I retrieved data to fill it in a chart for you!
Projects are slowly moving away from older versions.
Do you know why Angular 9 is still that downloaded?

When you are lazy about updating your Angular library to support upcoming versions 😅
Make genius choices about choosing your Angular third-party libs and get insights about the right version you should install!
I'm currently rebranding my old 'angular compatibility checker' project to a 'health check' one.
Still in progress, it should be released this week!
#angular #npm #github
Algolia support is just 'fine'. Nowadays it feels like an outdated experience at getting the best out of the docs
I used its name for a while in my angular.courses project, in the url towards a AI powered chatbot, powered with the angular/NgRx/rxjs docs.
It would be awesome to have the angular CLI MCP server used by an AI application directly in the official documentation.

Using an LTS Angular version matters as updates are not just about new exciting features, but bug fixes and security patches.
The support policy and release schedule are explained in the official @angular.dev documentation.
I updated Angular Can I Use to highlight these boundaries
It's well known that the best way to retain information is to practise, and the worst way is just to read. I'm starting a new project to get to know @angular.dev releases' changes by practising them with exercises in an isolated environment: exercises.angular.courses/21-0-release...

Currently considering submitting a talk about MCP Servers for Angular conferences.
I feel like we quickly moved from "there is no such a thing" to "install it, it works", without explaining how it works, the value, the limitations.
#angular #mcp #ai
Introducing a MCP Server for Angular devs!
Built on top of up-to-date documentation from Angular, Material, NgRx, RxJS, and Angular Can I Use, it'll help you avoid common issues with outdated/deprecated @angular.dev generated code.

Sneak peek of some new tool I'll release this Friday with a special issue of Angular Digest newsletter dedicated to AI tools made by the @angular.dev community!

Struggling to know when a @nextjs.org
experimental feature is available, or has gone stable?
I created a poc to explore NextJS features and how they evolved over versions.
It still misses some features/versions, but would you like to get more?

During the Angular Space Meetup yesterday, I mentioned an MCP server tool to 'modernize' your application, but couldn't find it in the documentation; it'll be fixed soon!

Angular Can I Use updated with upcoming v21 changes
Besides the experimental Navigation Web API and Signal Forms support, a noticeable change is the FormArrayDirective, which allows you to avoid nesting FormArrays within FormGroups.

Introducing Angular Digest!
A few years ago, I started contributing to the Angular ecosystem and stayed for the community.
Discover Angular Digest, a new newsletter about @angular.dev, its ecosystem, and its community.
The first post is out already: geromegrignon.substack.com/p/1-angular-...
That’s the theme of our
next #Angular Space Meetup:
“The Hidden Costs of Angular Updates.”
📅 September 3, 4 PM UTC
🎙 Host: @armandotrue.bsky.social
🎤 Guest: @gerome.dev
Updating an Angular project with ng update is the easy part; then you have to find compatible versions for your third-party libraries!
I just released a new tool to check for recommended compatible versions!

Angular Can I Use landing soon in your blog!
Mentioning an #angular feature in developer preview, but you need to update your blog post once it's stable?
I'm working on a web component widget to integrate the info directly into your blog posts, ensuring it uses up-to-date data.
Angular AI Assistant now ingests data from Angular Can I Use!
Not only is it updated weekly with the current version of official docs, but it can now help you with previous versions!

Current state of being so busy at creating tools for the #angular community 😅
I'll soon shut down angular.courses current iteration for another shape. I've been creating framework-agnostic tools and have already been working on using them for other frameworks.
The project will soon be rebranded with a new domain
Currently indexing community @angular.dev libraries to help you understand which Angular version they support, to improve your experience at migrating your projects to a new version.
Currently working on a UI update for Angular HUB, your favorite place to find out more about #angular cevents and communities!
In another universe, the default Angular prefix has always been `ng`, and it would make more sense than `app`, especially for directives!
You can still customize it with your angular.json file.
