So let’s talk about Blobs and Files in JavaScript, something I knew nothing about before this article and now know slightly more than nothing about. A lot which I want to write down because when I was searching for solutions to my problems I didn’t find a lot of helpful articles on the internet from people who had similar questions.

I’ve been toying around with an idea for a new project. ![]()
