Community Digest #5: Iconic duos, Shopify starter, and Built with Cloudflare Workers

Written by Knut Melvær

We are amazed by the things people in our community share! It's one of the things that makes it extra fun to come to work each day. This week, we have everything from iconic duos to eCommerce and freelance portfolio starters, to new Sanity-powered sites from Cloudflare, and real-time e-sports. And a little pro-tip for dessert.
