## 3️⃣ React Native vs. Flutter: Which One Would Suit You Better?

📱React Native and Flutter both are excellent choices to develop cross-platform applications. **Both frameworks differ significantly in terms of their functionalities and the language they rely on**.

## 4️⃣ Watch: Fake Elon Musk Zoom-bombs meeting using real-time Deepfake AI

🙈 A programmer developed an AI program called Avatarify to create deep-fakes in real-time. **In reality, it's an ongoing research effort to animate the images**. The programmer used that open source project for developing deep-fakes and tested it by pretending to be Elon Musk in a zoom meeting. 

Check out this short read. It's fun!

## 5️⃣ Exploring Node.js Internals

This is definitely a typical Node.js internals blog post. **It goes beyond the API or simple working and actually helps you understand how Node.js works**. It goes into V8 & libuv and explains how they make Node.js work via an example. Definitely worth reading, if you are a Node.js developer.

## 6️⃣ notify.uno — Notifications for your terminal

The description of notify.uno says:

> Get notified when your commands are done

Which is pretty much self-explanatory. Sometimes we execute commands in our terminal which takes time. **It's counter-productive to check the status of the command again and again**. While facing this problem, Simon built this app. ⏰

It works in the browser. You don't need to install anything at all. It works in the background as well. It's completely open-source. So, if you'd like to see how it works or want to contribute, it's a great project!

## 7️⃣ Node 14 has been released

🌳 A major release of Node i.e v14 is out with some exciting new updates. **Some new experimental features, improvements, some stable features, and more**. If you are a Node.js developer, definitely check it out!

## 8️⃣ 10+ Best of Javascript Game

This post contains a collection of some games developed in JavaScript. **It also contains the pens (CodePen) embedded in the post. So you can actually play them**. I must say, they are very well designed and executed. 🎮

## 9️⃣ GraphCMS — The original GraphQL CMS. Evolved.

GraphCMS was #5 product hunted on ProductHunt by one of its developers. GraphCMS is a headless CMS based on GraphQL. **It comes with powerful drag and drop APIs and works perfectly with almost all the popular technologies.** 🎯

They have recently revamped their entire product including their whole branding and the website. Definitely worth checking out!
