Manfred Steyer took a deep dive into Angular Services.
A bunch of excellent articles from Enea Jahollari (pure pipes), Thomas Laforge (functional router guards), and Robin Götz (structural directives series) were released.
And Kevin Kreuzer shows tRPC for Angular.
Patterns for Custom Standalone APIs in Angular
Manfred Steyer, known for his work on Micro Frontends, wrote a deep-dive article about providing services and design patterns. The focus lies on library developers.
He showcases how to make sure developers can only provide services on the root scope. Also, how services provided in lazy-loaded scopes can interact with their root-scoped services or even delegate to them.
Although application developers will need them rarely, it is still good to know what is possible.

Robin Götz published his second article in his series about structural directives.
Kevin Kreuzer: tRPC & Angular
If your stack runs entirely on TypeScript, you should definitely take a look into tRPC. It gives you type safety for your backend calls. Very similar to OpenAPI or GraphQL but without a code generator.
Kevin Kreutzer showed on Twitch how to integrate tRPC in Angular. A summarized version is available on YouTube.
