In last weeks DevRel Deep Dive, @lotte and I take a look at Blend's new packages for helping with robots.txt and sitemap.xml files. Since there was a bit of config to set up for the sitemap, I got a bit lazy and asked Claude Code together with the Umbraco MCP […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Am enjoying working with Claude and some skills way too much. Wondered if I could make a nice GitHub user picker. 10 minutes later... TADA. It stores username, name, github id, and bio. The refresh button fetches any name and bio updates. #umbraco

RE: https://umbracocommunity.social/@joe/115899730522188896 Is Joe trying to apply for a job in my team? Looks like it! 😉 #umbraco #umbracospark

Last week, I noticed 2 new packages had popped up on the Umbraco Marketplace. Both of them can be used to build tables. So we thought we'd do an Umbraco Tables Showdown 💥 Well.. we ended up being just a bit more boring than that - new DevRel Deep Dive episode […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Yes, DevRel Deep Dives are back after a bit of a longer break. In this episode @lotte and I have special guest @leekelleher in to show us around some new goodies in yesterday's Umbraco 17.1.0 release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PtP2qIfYM0 #umbraco

It's here: Umbraco Power Tools 🧰 A small browser extension for Umbraco devs: • One-click switch between site ↔ /umbraco • Quick links to forum, socials & events • Useful Umbraco resources in one place Firefox […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

I've had a productive weekend on my hobby projects 🙌 `Cultiv.Hangfire` is now at 5.2.0 after merging 2 community PRs and implementing an idea Bjarne had years ago to move the Hangfire dashboard to it's own section - that is now an option! Release notes […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Working on a new version of an Umbraco browser extension, essentially just to toggle between backoffice and frontend. My previous version had a few feature requests, but I don't think there was too much demand for those features. Anything you'd LOVE to see?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@richarth/115541821866277045 This is a great initiative from ClerksWell and @CodeSharePaul! If you're in the UK and have the time, it will be well worth it to attend. You're supporting charities and will learn a lot along the way! #umbraco

Great morning already at Umbraco in the city Manchester, with a great space and great talks and plenty of new faces. Hello MCR! 👋 #umbraco

Really looking forward to Thursday’s Umbraco Virtual meetup. There's going to be a great discussion about AI coding tools, especially Claude 🤖 Been using it a ton lately, so I’m curious to hear how others are integrating it into their workflows […]

🚀 New site launch! We’ve replaced the old Download section on Our Umbraco with the shiny new https://releases.umbraco.com! The new home for Umbraco releases — everything works again (including Compare 🎉) and old links redirect smoothly. Soon to be open source 👀 #umbraco

Noooooooo..... what clown designed this?! The new Meetup.com has a "paper" texture background.. I "designed" websites like this in the 90s! Very sorry for the visually impaired people but I'm adding some screenshots with the extremely clownish new look of the […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

The ONE thing I was really missing after the switch from chrome-based browsers was proper PWA support. Firefox has just brought this feature back and it's absolutely great. I love being able to pretend Gmail is a windows app, but with all the benefits of my […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

LinkedIn people be like: "I'll put a tweet into an AI to generate an 'insightful' post so that it gets reshared". Why not.. just tweet? On Mastodon or Bluesky of course, not on Elno's propaganda platform. But if you must do it on LinkedIn: keep it short, don't waste my time.

We often say: "why didn't people stand up to Hitler before WWII?". Really feels like we are now going to be the people who will be judged like that in a few years. And those tech CEOs traveling with the orange Hitler? Reminds me of IBM, Kodak and Hugo Boss. Also, the Associated Press Engaged […]

Last week @lotte and I talked to our colleague Kenn (or as Lotte dubbed him: Mr. Search 🕵️). We did a good deep dive into the new Umbraco.Cms.Search package that the CMS team has just released. Talking about easier faceting, the many extension points in this […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Hot on the heels of the Umbraco 16.2 RC release, @lotte and I did a DevRel Deep Dive with special guests @iOvergaard We had a look at a great new feature: UFM Javascript (like) expressions. This powerful syntax can greatly enhance what's displayed in your […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Me and @lotte are still working on making the experience of open sourcing an Umbraco Cloud site great. In this DevRel Deep Dive, we work with community contributions (woohoo @Jmayn, @mattbrailsford and @rockerby!) and we get a tip from the Cloud team to reduce […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Just minding my own business, cycling to work this morning and I ran into all my friends, they call themselves the #cgrunners #codegarden

🏋️I think I brought everything for Codegarden.. 🥵 Not pictured here: a bicycle. 🚂 On a train to Odense now and very excited about the upcoming week! #umbraco #codegarden

🎥 In today's DevRel Deep Dive, @lotte and I dive into @warrenbuckley's Content Lock, a super useful package that locks nodes while they’re being edited — no more overwriting each other's work. 💥 Spoiler alert: we were impressed 🤩 ▶️ Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dHO3taSwo […]

🥑 We’re kicking off DevRel Deep Dives – a fresh video series where we take something new or noteworthy in the Umbraco world and give it a proper look. 🕵️‍♂️🔍 Each episode will be short, focused on a single topic. First episode is out now! 📽️ […]

At the airport I see someone pour water into a device unknown to me. My bullshit alarm is going off, but what is it? I'd never be able to ask a search engine what it is (this introvert ✋ is certainly not going to ask the person what that is 😅). Describing it […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

A reminder to all you Umbraco and A11Y peeps that UMBRAAD is on today and has just kicked off half an hour ago with the first talk. To join, make sure to tap "Attend online" on this Meetup page which will give you the Zoom link. Today's schedule […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

🚨 Hey Umbraco contributors! If you're a previous contributor to CMS first off: awesome job! 💡 You will need to switch to the `main` branch now instead of `contrib` (which has now been deleted). ➡️ From now on `main` is the default branch for both HQ and for external contributors! This should […]

Hey there ChatGPT users. I've been doing a lot of hobby stuff with ChatGPT lately, mostly some coding of "the boring bits" and I've found it very helpful. I am considering taking a Pro account but from the description it doesn't seem like I'd get much more out of it then I already do. So I'm […]

In December I avoid it, but it's April.. Yes please!! 🍻 #whamageddon

Nice shadow work.

I have been following Tori's updates about building "TikTok for Bluesky" and oh my do I wish we had positive and fun people like this building on ActivityPub! Am I missing some projects that I should be aware of?

Does anyone have a good PeerTube instance that they enjoy? I feel like the content is just not there (stuck on YouTube) but if there's great content somewhere that I'm missing I would love to learn more.

I was today years old when I learned in Google Sheets that I don't have to manually change the X-axis and Series every month to maintain my "only show the last 12 months" chart. 🤦

Running Umbraco sites in Docker, still on a Raspberry Pi in my closet at home: https://cultiv.nl/blog/running-umbraco-sites-in-docker-still-on-a-raspberry-pi-in-my-closet-at-home/ #umbraco

Look at this deep dive on using Umbraco with Next.js by the wonderful `kjac` - https://kjac.dev/posts/uncovering-the-nextjs-example-for-umbraco/ 🤩 #umbraco

Following up on my Umbraco with Docker adventures (https://cultiv.social/@sebastiaan/114252000982346031): A second site has now been Dockerized, it was very easy the second time around, apart from two little hick-ups. Also ordered an SSD for the Pi, which was installed on to a Pi with a bit […]

So after a slight (31 day 😂) outage, my blog is back! ⚡ A power outage at home, managed to completely kill the Raspberry Pi it was running on. I had a new Pi the next day, but I wanted to up my game... So I had to learn how to run Umbraco sites on Docker. My […] [Original post on cultiv.social]

Impressed today with Azure Web Apps still allowing me to set up a new app based on .NET 4.8, giving me a working yml file for my GitHub repo to do a deploy and while I struggled with the wildly outdated Gulp build, it just worked after that. So now I have a POC of the Our Umbraco site (v7) […]
