April 29th! Come talk about atproto! Featuring demos by @bad-example.com, @hypha.coop, and more. atmo.rsvp/p/atproto.to...

Still amazed with all the amazing photos being shared in cafés like Nature Nerds! https://hey.cafe/!aplacefornaturelovers

Building on recent improvements, the Starlight Links Validator now includes more features useful for large documentation sites like Cloudflare Docs: - choose if link validation errors fail the build - JSON error reports for external tooling - GitHub Actions step output github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

Prince Edward Island - Blue Jay The Blue Jay was adopted as the official bird in a province-wide vote held in 1977. The bird is found in the province through the entire year. 🧵 10/15

Well the financing situation in tech claims another victim. If you or anyone you know is looking for an engineer with 18+ years experience and a focus on architecture and component libraries, send them my way or reach out! 🔗 https://tonysull.co/notes/well-the-financing-situation-in-tech (1/2)

First robin sighting of the year in the backyard! (We do have year-round robins, but they tend to be sneakier in winter and are more in the forest than backyards.) I, also, have been sneakier this winter and exploring some big life changes... so, taking this as a sign of avian solidarity! 🐦‍⬛

I haven't made the time yet to write about contributing *a cappella* to open source, but at least I now have another example to use when advocating for the opportunities for and importance of contributions beyond code! (Should open source projects have *jingles*??)

Oh no. I do not need to be given ideas... www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiKM...

Today's a great day to donate to a trans-owned and -led nonprofit that is working to break down bureaucratic barriers to legal name changes and gender marker changes 💜 namesake.fyi/donate

We talk a lot about those who make npmx so beloved but today it is the time to highlight another important part of our community and our values 🏳️‍⚧️ We see, we value, we respect, we hope, we love 🤍

Starting now!

Yes I’m religious, I believe in the Holy Trinity

Aw heck yeah, y'all are gonna want to check out the #ATmosphereConf replay to see @zeu.dev and @patak.cat talk about @npmx.dev ! The conf knew what they were doing and didn't force us to make a "hard choice" to see this session. This is the #opensource community you've been waiting for.

OK, that's TWO ATproto projects I've checked out from #ATmosphereConf that are using Starlight for their docs. I publish the @astro.build newsletter on Tuesday, so if your app has an Astro/Starlight website that isn't already in our showcase, holler back so it gets included!

Great talk by @brittanyellich.com at #ATmosphereConf "Who owns the group chat?" with some really thought out ideas for a community (book club, parenting group) to have its own platform-independent identity/ownership while still allowing individuals to own their contributions. Thanks for sharing!

There's way too much streaming, in way too many time zones, to keep track of today! #ATmosphereConf is 4hr diff, our provincial youth bowlers at nationals (Joe is coaching!) 3 hr diff, and Blue Jays 1h, had to carefully map out my day from multiple schedules, all written in a diff, & not my, time.

Wake up, babe. New Steamerduck just dropped.

Here's a scan of my woodburning of a blue jay! With some added white pencil to make the face pop Until I post more... Check out the rest of my art HERE ↙️ ko-fi.com/checj/gallery #Artsky #woodburning #bird

It's a great day to let you know about my fave feed: all #bluejays, all the time: bsky.app/profile/sara... Birds? Yes. Baseball? Yes. Fursonas? Yes. Beatles? Yes. Chandler Bing's office? Yes. If "blue jays" are in text, hashtags, or alt-text, it's there! Please enjoy, if that's your thing 💙🐦⚾🧢

It's not even 8:00 a.m. and I've already teared up twice watching various Blue Jays news and media. I'm gonna be a hot mess tonight. 🐦⚾ #BlueJays #BlueJays50

Hello world, and welcome to the Colibri Alpha! Colibri is an open source chat platform built on the AT protocol. We're happy to get this out just im time for #ATmosphereConf! Read more on our announcement post or visit our website for more! colibri.social colibri.leaflet.pub/3mhxzpvpvps2m

Because Canada's so big, bought my *remote* ticket to #ATmosphereConf this weekend. But, looking forward to everyone enjoying their visit "here"! atmosphereconf.org

A couple of tech writing memes I couldn't squeeze in here

Happy Monday! Start your week with some deep, calming breaths and ten facts about Blue Jays, courtesy of Audubon Magazine. #ornithology

Support your local artists because where else will you get cute pins to represent your city's sport teams

“Maybe we should remove the luggage racks from the train that was built just to go to the airport” is absolutely peak Toronto www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...

To celebrate something-or-other, I created a retro CRT using only vanilla CSS! 📺 codepen.io/ivorjetski/p... No images. No JavaScript. No SASS. Fully turn-off-and-on-able! Also a documentary about the making of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdNH... @CodePen #css #cssart #cssonly #frontend

I just drafted 1400 words about mock objects (and why you might struggle with them) that have been trying to get out for a long time now. These words might see the light of day, but members of The jbrains Experience are reading them now. ;) experience.jbrains.ca

If you're looking for someone to not only produce excellent guides but also create a whole village around it, Sarah is your go-to person. What a legend.

Its a rare, and exciting, experience to be on a team where you are constantly surrounded by all stars swinging for the fences and raising the bar every day If you're lucky enough to work with Sarah at some point, strap in and start taking notes because there's a lot to learn!

If you're looking for someone who's as good at writing useful and detailed documentation for your users as they are at energizing your community, I can only recommend Sarah!

The Astro community would not exist as it does without Sarah’s tireless efforts, advocacy, and welcoming energy! 💜 Working with Sarah will be one of the best decisions you ever make, especially if you value building a healthy community and having docs written with care and clarity.

Forgive me, gonna do some shameless reposting because a) aww.... and b) you might not realize that I'm open to fun, meaningful, *scoped and short-term* projects where I can help you help your docs/community! Not "hiring"? No problem! Maybe you just need someone to stay until the wind changes...

I'm looking for Ottawa/Gatineau folks willing to help me with some office space. I am thinking of scheduling a remote workshop that would run 2 hours on 2 consecutive days, particularly May 12 and 13.

I heard a beautiful description of creating an Open Textbook at an event at TRU yesterday. "I am the result of all the conversations I've had with people and all the people who've taught me, i bring that story, my story of biology to the textbook writing" juxtaposed to AI written textbooks.

Heard that Snowflake laid off its entire tech writing team. I can only say this: passo.uno/reconsider/

And with that, so ends my last day w Astro Docs. So proud of the docs our community made, & honoured I had the chance to lead them. Open to new adventures in docs/community. If you liked learning, using, or contributing to Astro...maybe some of that was me! Maybe I can bring that to your project!

It's also a good time to remember that Starlight is 100% community maintained and funded! astro.build/blog/support...

All my Starlight plugins, themes, and Astro integrations are now updated for this new version and Astro v6 🚀

Waiting for the stream to start! Come hang for some good, wholesome Astro content. And, there are prizes involved!

Astro 🤝 CloudCannon We're excited to welcome @cloudcannon.bsky.social as an Official CMS Partner and sponsor of the project! Their Git-based CMS is a perfect match for Astro, and agents love it when you code + content live together. astro.build/blog/cloudca...

First look at @astro.build 6 🚀 youtu.be/WxUEtNg07gE

Astro 6 is here, and upgrading to it on Netlify is one command: npx @astrojs/upgrade Updates Astro, the adapter, and all official integrations at once. Full changelog with migration tips at the link. netlify.com/changelog/2026-03-10-astro-6/

Time to update! 🌟 And if you're using any of my plugins or themes, updates are being worked on as we speak, so stay tuned.

Don’t wait Don’t hesitate It’s time to update to Starlight 0.38

@astro.build v6 uses @clack/prompts thanks to some help from our friends at @e18e.dev. Congrats on the big release! This is a beautiful full circle moment—clack was inspired by our work on the original `create-astro` CLI. Thrilled to finally upstream it! Open source is better together! 🚀

OK, not the *main* story of the day... but, the v6 major upgrade guide was a BIG part of Team Docs life for months. A lot of us worked on it. I hope it works for you when you upgrade! (And if it doesn't... well, that's just an opportunity to contribute yourself!) docs.astro.build/en/guides/up...

Astro 6 is here and so is full @netlify.com compatibility on day one. 👉🏼 www.netlify.com/changelog/20...
