"velocity has a direction in a very high dimensional vector space" is a very @eaf4.com quote and a great thought to leave us with in a closing @emberfest.eu keynote 🎉

Today Mainmatter’s own @chris.manson.ie and Marine are speaking about the #EmberInitiative at @EmberFest.eu in Brussels. If you’re in town and want to talk about upgrading your #Ember app to use all the modern build tooling (#Vite, #GJS, etc.) make sure to say hi!

Rare picture of @mainmatter.com’s Ember initiative team at work

🙌 It’s @academiedesrenards.bsky.social and @chris.manson.ie on stage at #emberfest talking about @mainmatter.com #emberjs initiative. We achieved quite a lot, both pushing Ember forward as well as helping initiative members keeping their codebases modern and healthy. Great job Marine and Chris!

🚨⛏️ Call for assistance in @emberjs.com ⛏️🚨 We decided in the Tooling team meeting today to deprecate heimdalljs in ember-cli and hopefully remove it in ember-cli@7 🎉 This needs a RFC to be written and someone to implement the deprecation itself. Do you want to help out? Please get in touch!

Just had the weirdest bug...11ty was taking 500sec to rebuild on our designer mac for every change. Me and @chris.manson.ie bisected the problem but it was a very innocuous commit...turns out the slowness was caused by the author name being uppercase...lowercasing it produced a x6 reduction 🤯🤯🤯 wtf

EuroRust isn’t just talks all day, it’s a gathering of Rustaceans and Rustaceans-to-be. Four days in total—in Paris—full of everything Rust! Also, please note that on September 1 we’re switching to late-bird ticket pricing, so make sure to get yours before that! 🦀

I'm sorry @notion.com but you crossed a line with this one. Your "Meeting detection" feature is not helpful; it is creepy. Your docs don't go into enough detail on how you are doing this, so I'm now removing the Notion desktop app and recommending my colleagues do the same as a security precaution

Hey @evoactivity.bsky.social 👋 Welcome to the @emberjs.com Core Tooling Team 🎉

Congrats on the .gts migration! 💪🏼 It’s great to see @embroider/template-tag-codemod in action. Shoutout to @chris.manson.ie and the Ember Initiative for helping to make it happen.

I had a couple of hours spare this afternoon, so I merged some pull requests and closed some issues for ProfileMe ✅ New to the skills section: - Emacs - Ember.js - A few CMSs (Squarespace, Wix) - Kubernetes and more Let me know what I'm missing ✌️

🐹 TWO WEEKS LEFT to submit your talk for EmberFest 2025! Got an idea that could help someone else build better Ember apps? Share it. It’s not about perfection, it’s about being real and relevant!

No need to cover my name, I said what I said 🤣🤣🤣

This is why you should invest in the #emberjs initiative – sign up if you're not on board yet: mainmatter.com/ember-initia... Great work @chris.manson.ie & @academiedesrenards.bsky.social 🙌

We just merged a 3000 files / 75k lines of code PR in our 2017 @emberjs.com app that moved us from .ts + .hbs => .gts This would have never been possible without @embroider/template-tag-codemod and the work from the great @chris.manson.ie and other great members of the Ember.js community! 🫶

Chris will walk you through @embroider/template-tag-codemod and ember-vide-codemod, step by step. Hosted by @phorest.bsky.social , just off Capel street in Dublin. RSVP here to save your spot ➡️ www.meetup.com/emberjsdubli...

Ember Dublin is back and we’re part of it! Our Ember Expert, @chris.manson.ie is kicking things off with a hands-on workshop. Get your app off .hbs, onto .gjs, and into the modern Ember era. Which means Codemods, Vite, and real-world upgrade paths. 🍕Come hungry. There’s pizza too!

Listening to a great talk from Linds at #EmberEurope 🎉 A great turn out and feeling the @emberjs.com love ❤️

The Ember Inspector doesn’t support Vite yet. We’re changing that. It means rewriting builds, bridging AMD + ESM, and getting changes into Ember itself. Here’s how we’re doing it 👇 🧵1/2

Hello Vue! github.com/emberjs/data...

I just published a brand new blog post about how to build Web Components and most importantly how to do it with Svelte! 😎 Check this out and please give me any feedback! 🧡

“Ember and Vite – How it works and what it unlocks” by @chris.manson.ie If you’ve been wondering how Vite fits into Ember and what it enables. Watch ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfil... 🧵4/4

So what is the current best "alternative to Meetup" out there? Are there any that are gaining some traction?

I just submitted a CFP to talk about @emberjs.com at a non-Ember conference 🎉 if anyone knows any conferences that have open CFPs that they think should have an Ember talk at please ping me and let me know

There's no way to scare me faster than telling me you have a REST or ActiveRecord API. These "formats" are lossy - they fail to communicate many key bits of information about the data in transit. Use jsonapi.org folks, stop building brittle endpoints 🙈

I started a podcast called Tick Talk. First episode - Core 2 Duo smartwatch demo! youtu.be/UCI7N70tNRE

Anyone following me here has likely seen some of the amazing things that we've been working on in @emberjs.com recently 🎉 ... If I were to, hypothetically, make a 5-minute video about any Ember-related topic, what would you like to see me do a video on?

Last week has seen yet more success for @discourse.org as part of the @mainmatter.com Ember Initiative 🎉 Our pairing session has resulted in converting the last few templates in the Discourse Core app to use GJS, which means that this app is now 100% GJS and living the future we all want 😍

👀 👀 👀 @warp-drive.io (formerly #emberdata) version 5.5-alpha.21 is compatible with any framework that works with a signals concept. Even multiple on one page sharing data. Pluggable reactivity ftw. Official #svelte/#vue/#preact/#lit integrations coming soon. ✨🌌 github.com/emberjs/data...

Only 40 failed tests to fix sit between you and using @warp-drive.io with svelte/vue/you-name it even on the same page and sharing the same data if you so choose. Ok realistically a small bit more than that sits in between but universal reactivity is here 🌌

The Ember Initiative needs your support! Join sponsors like @hashicorp.com, @discourse.org, productive.io, teamtailor.com, intercom.com, ticketsolve.com, mylighthouse.com, auditboard.com and others who invest in #emberjs’ future! 1/🧵

This project started as an idea for "improved documentation" but has gotten so good with the help of all the Ember Devs trying it out and giving feedback. This is why I love the Ember community 🎉🐹 there is a real sense that we are in this together and we love helping each other out 💪

I'm testing my Fediverse bridge, can anyone reply to me on here from Mastodon? 🐘

We’re turning 10 today 🎉 Let us take you back for a second: On April 10, 2015, we started as simplabs and just one team member, @marcoow.bsky.social – yet, the focus then was what it’s now: help teams solve tough tech challenges—and grow through it. Today, we’re Mainmatter and we’re 10! 🧵1/10

It feels like we've done about a year's worth of work in the past two months of the Ember Initiative 🎉 The really big thing in this update is the fact that the @vite.dev build for Ember is now considered stable 💪

Milestone: vitest crossed 10M weekly npm downloads! ⚡

Anyone want to try using this to convert their React apps to Ember? 🐹😂🎉

Congrats! Very excited to be adopting this in our projects soon.

If this isn't proof you should switch to release-plan, I don't know what else you'd need to convince you. release-plan is so GOATed ✨

I just released Embroider@v4 from the @mainmatter.com team dinner using release-plan This is the start of the @vite.dev era of @emberjs.com 🎉

Release from *anywhere*!!! 🚽✈️🏖️🌒☄️🪐

Because of a strange series of events I'm attending the Munich Rust meetup at the @mainmatter.com office 🦀🎉 One thing that I wonder: what percent of Rust talks is actually just everyone watching the rust compiler? 🤣

Today I literally released a npm package on an airplane without any stress using release plan ✈️📦🎉 If you don't know already: release-plan is the best way to release any npm package 💪 I never release with anything else #releaseanywhere #releaseplan github.com/embroider-bu...

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend Ember Europe's meetup, which was hosted for the first time by the great and always smiling @chris.manson.ie 😀 from @mainmatter.com

The is the reason why we organise meetups 🎉 It's always great to hear from people that enjoyed themselves and learned something 🧑‍🎓 I hope to see you all at the next Ember Europe 🐹🇪🇺

Next up on Ember Europe we have @nickschot.bsky.social talking about miragejs.com

A fantastic turnout at the Ember Europe meet up 🎉 Ed is currently running the template-tag-codemod on the crates.io codebase 🎉

We're hanging out in the zoom if you want to join early. One of the attendees already brought a chicken to the Zoom call 😂 Something tells me this will be a fun meetup 🎉

Just a reminder that we will have the next Ember Europe event in around an hour 🎉 www.meetup.com/ember-europe... Once you RSVP you should get the Zoom link. Still time to sign up if you want to come along 🐹

Joining the #emberjs initiative brings 2 benefits for sponsors: you're investing into Ember's future and thus the future of your investment in Ember by building on top of it. The other benefit is actual, tangible improvements to your codebase – immediate positive impact 🙌
