I’m hoping with all the efficiencies that AI brings it will create more space for people to bring back the love to sites like they used to get back in the early 2000’s when frameworks didn’t exist, Photoshop finally got layers, and deploying was just an FTP sync command away.

Intentional. My word for 2026, along with Interest, which I have been focused on for the past 2 years. Something about the way this year has started already has me excited about these two words, and trying to live up to them.

⌨️ Any iPad keyboard/mouse linkers out there? Since upgrading to 26.3, modifier keys are no longer being sent to the iPad. A Magic Keyboard directly connected to the iPad works fine, but remote keyboards are not sending Shift and other modifiers. Anyone else seeing this?

This is what I am talking about re:queue control. To be able to quickly pause/resume queue processors when errors pop up, or services go down, or things are running slow, is super handy, especially when on-the-go. Would love to know how other #laravel #bullmq #nestjs devs are handling things!

For the #laravel crew on here, do you typically just use standard Laravel queues backed by the DB, or Horizon (Redis backed)?

@justinjackson.ca It look me sec to find it, but I am glad you finally came around to what I was saying during our Jam Session about having @transistor.fm (or AmpCast) handle the video upload and distribute it to the various platforms (ex. Spotify, YouTube, etc.) www.youtube.com/live/2_nuzJa...

It looks like I am going to have to write the R2 overflow adapter for BullMQ sooner than I had planned, I just can’t justify scaling the Redis instance any higher than it already is.

Not sure if the jetstream was just backed up, but it seems like the linking activity here really spiked since the 29th. What’d I miss!? Queuebert is buggin’, a bit. #indieweb #webmentions #buildinpublic

When Claude starts blanking out and not responding, I like treating it like running into a friend who has had one too many drinks for the night and needs some help. You ok? Need some water? Should we go grab a slice? By the time I get to slice, it seems to get back on track. 🍕

Man, Bluesky is linking it up tonight! I might have to turn up the concurrency on the queues. (sneak peeks at two new projects in the works 🤫) #buildinpublic #indieweb #webdev #webmentions

The RSS Revolution Is Beginning. Now Is The Age Of The Quiet Personal Website. The Indie Bloggers Shall Inherit The Earth.

I just need to keep telling myself that I want to write more blog posts. It's the perfect way for me to–instead–follow through on writing/updating some open-source packages I have been meaning to get to. #webdev #opensource #procrastivity

Hop on in! The water is warm 🏖️😎

There was a time in my life that all that really mattered was a china crash and death metal pedal.

Working on some stuff and I think all of them are going to go MAXXXX OOUOUOUOUTTTT the footer section.

When is @bsky.app going to get #polling? You know it's bad when you start searching for possible domains to use for it and you find the perfect one and realize YOU ALREADY OWN IT!?!?! I might be digging into to see what oEmbed support looks like to pull this off so it feels more integrated.

This is what happens when you just try things. Fun things can happen! @thepanel.bsky.social #livenow

Anyone going to be jamming on some stuff later (2 hours from now)? Once my kids are down, I am going to explore some live stream possibilities, and maybe dip into some project stuff. If anyone wants to jump on a stream and jam together, let me know! #buildinpublic #webdev #livestream

@opengraphs.com browser extensions out and more updates in the works. Debug and preview your site’s Open Graph tags from the comfort of your site! Links to all various web/add-on stores here: www.opengraphs.com/tools/browse... #buildinpublic #webdev

Bluesky feature request: Audio. That’s it, that’s the feature request.

Melon! We need ya!

Dude, you’re getting a Dell!

I think these guys got duped. Are you sure they’re not in town for a casting call for stand-ins for a “Da’ Bears” skit on SNL?

The 40th Anniv. release of the Milkmen's 1st LP "Big Lizard in My Backyard" Black Friday Record Store Day 11/28/25. 2-discs - remastered original LP (green vinyl), 2nd disc of alt. takes of 10 songs (yellow vinyl). Gatefold with lenticular & new artwork by Dean Clean! Support your local record shop!

Wow, I guess I missed this announcement from #figma config, but not having to bounce out to Illustrator to throw text on a path is HUGE! I am going to be throwing so much text, on so many paths. 🙌

The new Web App support in iOS 26 is so good. I love being able to use the web version of @bsky.app on my iPad. I just added @pkgstats.com to my iPhone and it’s feeling pretty good. So handy when I am looking to see if a package exists for ideas I have, or keep tabs on my packages. #buildinpublic

It looks like maybe SEO is finally kicking in for the Chrome Web Store listing for the @opengraphs.com extension. Seems like it kicked up on the 29th, and dropped a bit, but is level over the past couple of days. Also, big in Poland!! #buildinpublic

Who are your favourite people building cool stuff on the web, but who have a criminally low number of followers?

Not sure why Apple Podcasts has been such a battery hog for so long on my iPhone 13 mini (and even more so on iOS26). Really considering dusting off an old project and building a podcasting app/service that works seamlessly across web and mobile, that offers tools for listeners to curate and share.

Man, some Radioactivity straight to the veins! This new single might just carry me right through to dawn. open.spotify.com/track/3Fw7OE...

Taking care of some long overdue maintenance and procrastinated updates to the old personal site (ryanhefner.com) and podcast site (allplay.fm). Finally got around to configuring IndieLogin support and adding webmention and pingback links. Feels good, but tinkering to come! 🤙 #indieweb

Jeff Tweedy was like, I have a new album coming out, you should check it out. Releases 5-6 singles leading up to, with 12-13 inaccessible songs to peek interest. And then, on release day, "SURPRISE MF’ers! Here’s a triple disc for you to chew on. ENJOY!!". open.spotify.com/album/4nczkB...

I have a new experiment I want to run. I’m calling it #tgiaf, which stands for “Thank God It's Accountability Friday”. The idea is every Friday you post what you got done this week and what you plan to accomplish the next week, and tag it #tgiaf. Let’s see how many people we can get to do this!

See you tonight!

Honestly serious: JUST DON'T UPDATE PACKAGES RIGHT NOW. It is unclear to me yet, but this is looking pretty wide spread. Better be safe than sorry, just go touch some grass.

Not gonna lie, I was really hoping for an iPhone Mini comeback, but I guess that ship has sailed. Will just have to ride out this iPhone 13 Mini as long as I can.

Apple slippin’ on these corner radiuses.

It’s live! 🎉 Debug Open Graph & Twitter Cards FAST in Google Chrome 🚀 (OpenGraphs Extension) youtu.be/0jeIlpsY6dM

Man, I have been anxiously waiting to share the latest version of the @opengraphs.com Chrome Extension, but the update got flagged due to “excessive keyword stuffing”. What can I say, 🤷‍♂️, you can preview your share images across a lot of services! www.opengraphs.com/tools/og-pre... #buildinpublic

It's today!!! @justinjackson.ca and @briancasel.com are going live in 1 hour. Come join us! youtube.com/live/-ZW3qGo... #indiehacker #bootstrapping #solopreneur

So, was this the origins of wire-live.com, @coulb.com @calebporzio.bsky.social? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... After listening to this episode I am even more bummed I can’t make it up to Buffalo in October. Who knows, maybe I can pull off a day. Maybe rally a morning skate crew to hit a park

Enjoyed listening to this episode this morning. It touches on the majority of the topics that have been racing through mind recently.

Don't miss our next PHPxATL / AtlantaPHP meetup! Join us on: 📅 Wednesday, September 17th at 6 PM ET 📍 Motion Recruitment (400 Perimeter Center Terrace #300) Please RSVP so we know you're coming: phpxatl.com/meetups/3440...

I have an idea brewing for something for 2026. I also love when I can prompt enough to start generating the bad (good) stuff in AI images.

Trying to hype myself up to tackle this client refactor, and finding any possible excuse to put it off. Spray paint some shit; do the dishes; whatever I can find as I think through what needs to be done. Hoping this on repeat will help me lock in and knock it out. open.spotify.com/album/57nvBr...

Did a little vibe coding last night on this #webgl shader for the upcoming @opengraphs.com updates going out this weekend. #buildinpublic
