Ready to hit the virtual stage tomorrow alongside @remotesynthesis.com for @cfedev.bsky.social's and @fitc.ca's CodeWord Conf!

We’ve updated Netlify pricing – but if you’re an existing customer, nothing changes. ❤️ We're rolling out credit-based plans for new users. – One metric across 5 categories – Analytics now included – New Personal plan starts at $9/mo

Looking forward to hanging with @eduardoboucas.com in early September. Joins us as we dig into @netlify.com primitives and the local dev experience! nickyt.live#2025-09-04-e...

"Progress shows up when work ships without you." Felt this quote from @kvlly.com. It explains why I get more excited by my team shipping without my involvement than by the work that I drive.

A really good resource for placeholder logo assets. Why generate slop, when you can use one of these? logoipsum.com

I found this link via *The Index* which is one of a very small number of newsletters that I read almost every time. I find something refreshing and enjoyable in each collection. Highly recommend subscribing!

This is also a good opportunity to note that you also don't need to use images in your blog posts at all, especially if they have nothing to do with the material you're presenting. I've used abstract graphics that get automatically generated with the title when I publish a new post.

This is a cool idea! Can already think of many ways to make this useful, particularly through the use of making notifications actionable via links. I like reminders for simple things where I need to do something physical (eg: water the plants), but it doesn't work well for tying directly to a URL.

(6/11) 🌲 Main Stage Speakers cont'd @seancdavis.com (Netlify) – Seeing Beyond the Framework Illusion Sudhanshu Vishnoi - Secret Talk @shrutikapoor08.bsky.social – React & Next.js in 2025

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Subscribed!

Super pumped to come out to Seattle to cure your framework FOMO at @cascadiajs.com in September!

We've got availability at Set Studio this summer! We're wrapping up some great work which we can't wait to show you, but for now check out some of the stuff we've achieved 👇 If you've got a project idea cooking, we'd love to hear it. set.studio or hit me up with [email protected]

An interesting run-down to the inner workings of a routing system. www.seancdavis.com/posts/handli...

Made a little starter pack for Moar Serverless speakers with Bluesky accounts. FOLLOW THEM ALL! And come see them LIVE IN 2 HOURS!

This is a really fun, crowd-sourced road trip using Google street view. Users can vote on which direction to go next. It looks like an unmoderated chat though, so be warned. neal.fun/internet-roa...

Today is the day! Join me and @remotesynthesis.com as we host this stellar lineup for Moar Serverless 2025. It starts in just a few hours.

This calls for a light nerd snipe @ryanmulligan.dev @taylorbar.net for the @netlify.com home page. DEEEEEEEPLOOOOOOY!

8 talks in 5 jam-packed hours!

A huge thank you to the 50 people who have contributed to our Open Collective. We're floored by how generous people are being before we've even properly started. There's a long way to go to our stretch goal and opencollective.com/piccalilli

Such a fun project! This is what we should be doing on and with the internet, folks.

I find myself rarely using the *go-to-line* feature in VS Code (fork), but I use the Jumpy extension constantly. Love being able to move around the editor without leaving the keyboard or learning vim. 😅

Using the @astro.build CLI is a delightful experience. I tend to spin up new example sites regularly, and I've found that I follow the same few steps every time, starting with the minimal framework template. What steps do you take when you kick off new projects?

File-based routing has its benefits, but one of the major tradeoffs is how easy it becomes to introduce broken links. On most projects with more than a few pages, I consolidate routes into a source of truth. I've found that this works with most frameworks lacking an opinion on the subject.

I'll be back co-hosting this rockstar lineup with @remotesynthesis.com for Moar Serverless 2025, from @cfedev.bsky.social and @fitc.ca! Some really interesting topics already on the schedule, and registration is free! Check it out!

Most frameworks don't tell you what to do with constants, content, and configuration. It's easy to do what's easy. It's (usually) better to build a system to handle scenarios you'll encounter in most projects.

📝 New post: It's about blogging. I think you should have a blog and I'm generally not opinionated in how you do that... except in this one case. daverupert.com/2025/04/uber...

The bad news is that you missed some amazing talks at the Virtual Coffee conference earlier today. The good news is that there are great lightning talks and a fun panel still to come! Join us live on YouTube: youtube.com/live/EvDJpN-...

5 years went into this conference and we’ve had a wonderful conference week. Come support these amazing speakers. I hear the MC isn’t too bad either 😉 www.youtube.com/live/EvDJpN-...

This is a fun collab between @cfedev.bsky.social and @virtualcoffee.io! Lots of quick talks throughout the day today.

Wow! I have cold sweats when thinking about my Storybook experiences between 2017-2020. v9 looks like a whole new ballgame, not the tool I left behind.

I (finally) built a little example and wrote the post. I left most of the spice in a related post and focused this one on how you don't need more that 11ty and Netlify primitives to build a full-stack application.

Super cool to see "Notion as a CMS" become an @11ty.dev plugin. It reminds me of the prototype I built a few years ago — a opinionated system that uses callouts to add custom components to a page.

Some thoughts on why we don't need to be classifying frameworks as "full-stack" or not. The capabilities of a framework in production often have very little to do with (what we perceive as) the framework itself.

Last day to save $106.12 on this course!

Do this! This is the survey the community needs. It takes about 15 minutes and is focused on you and your experience, and not the tools you're using. Very much looking forward to seeing the results of this one!

We're delighted to announce that we're working with Mat Marquis and Scott Riley to produce two new courses this year: JavaScript for Everyone and Mindful Design piccalil.li/courses/ Sign up to get updates for both courses which launch in the Autumn!

Every few months, I use AI to generate a draft of a blog post to remind myself why I don't use AI to draft blog posts.

Final update: simulator team jumped to #2 after the sweet sixteen, and stayed in second place for the remainder of the tournament. Other fun fact: it was a total coincidence that we had 9 different champions picked by 10 players. And, somehow, no one was correct.

Seems like syncing is one of the more challenging aspects of the local-first paradigm. Looking forward to digging into this!

Built a site with Lovable? Let’s take it further—connect to GitHub, deploy to Netlify, and add a custom domain for a site that grows with you. Step-by-step guide by @seancdavis.com ⬇️

We're developers. We say we hate marketing, but we actually love it. And it leads us to choose solutions before thinking through the problem. That's further compounded when the docs for your friendly neighborhood framework lead with the tool rather than the problem. Choose based on your scenario.

One of the inevitable effects of experiencing a lull in writing is it takes me away from my website. And websites need constant care to be presented in the best light. Now that I'm easing back into writing personal posts, I'm starting to make small updates, beginning by introducing Bluesky links!

A friendly PSA to remind you to tell your friendly neighborhood vibe coder to check that their application isn't exposing secret API keys. This has happened to me multiple times — database creds use environment variables, which makes them *seem* secure. But they get bundled during the build.

Now you can keep yourself occupied during builds just like you could with your TI-84 Plus calculator during high school statistics class.

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be speaking at @viteconf.org about building native-grade web apps with local-first data. I'll share lessons learned and what it takes to build high-performance web apps from working on Overtone over the past 4 years.

🧩 Made a little jigsaw puzzle game to celebrate the birthday celebration! 🎂

Great little synopsis of MCP, the newest acronym to arrive on the scene. ⭐ Quote highlight: "It's only a matter of time before some AI agent accidentally wipes out billions of dollars of customer data, or becomes self-aware and just deletes the data for fun."

🎂 Happy Birthday, Netlify! It's kind of wild that discovering Netlify 8 years ago would completely change the way I built websites almost overnight. That Sean would not have imagined I'd be celebrating this milestone as part of the team today. It's all a journey! Here's to the next 10! 🍻

Though two years old already, this was a great introduction into the local-first movement. Makes a really strong case for the switch. It’s such a different paradigm that thinking through the architecture is breaking my brain a bit. But a great thought exercise.
