New dev blog (we're still reading these, right?) How I developed the @netlify.com Capsules AR experience with @nuxt.com 4 and three.js www.leemartin.com/netlify-capsules

A lot has changed on the Spotify Web API in the past year: deprecated features, increased security, and new criteria for extended access. So, I've put together a report to understand these new restrictions and find practical alternatives. spotifyapi.report

I added to ability to mockup 7" and 10" records to Vinyl Mockup vinylmockup.com

It's been one week since we launched fABLE sPACEs, our geofenced listening experience of Bon Iver's new album, SABLE, fABLE. Here's some tips and tricks on building geofenced listening experiences. open.substack.com/pub/netmaker...

Guess who just joined @bsky.app? @listeningparty.com 🎉

Does your Vinyl Mock generator have an SEO social card strategy? vinylmockup.com/lime-green

I built a little vinyl mockup generator this weekend at www.vinylmockup.com Here's a walkthrough www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOy2...

How to create your first Turn video www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rct...

Today we run an experiment: can a non-AI product still launch on Product Hunt? 😅 Happy to get @turn.audio launched, finally. Upvote if you feel compelled. 💿 www.producthunt.com/posts/turn

Here's a look at the new vinyl variation feature coming to @turn.audio. Using the FormKit autocomplete pro input and some graciously provided mockup images from Noiseland Industries, users are able to select from a growing list of vinyl colors to create their Turn videos.

One of my side projects, Mock, is now on @bsky.app at @mock.video 📱

My March project schedule is filling up fast. So, if you’re trying to discuss something coming soon, please get in touch before the end of the week. The themes of the next few projects revolve around IRL listening, tour related UGC image generation, and another YouTube video rollout experience.

Pressing Vinyl Marketing Videos With Turn open.substack.com/pub/netmaker...

I really put @tailwindcss.com v4 through its paces on this Special Offer designed activation for Shygirl. I learned a lot about parent state styling and even got my hands dirty with container queries (finally.)

I see that ASCII art @nuxt.com 👀

I came up with an idea for an entirely new (simple) music product but I'm going to need to finish these clients projects before I build an MVP.

Love seeing @jake.fun make a plea for a more creative web. Some of us have never stopped this pursuit but it has felt a bit lonely lately when everyone is trying to prompt to a solution. Join the ever evolving party. 🎈 www.figma.com/blog/why-dev...

By clown, Lee means me btw. That was my voice on the end of the phone somehow (ask Lee what magic made that work!).

I've been meaning to study @deepgram.com and @elevenlabsio.bsky.social integrations with Twilio this year but it also reminded me of one of my first Twilio projects for Queens of the Stone Age which allowed fans to have a conversation with a clown. www.leemartin.com/like-phonework

In the first edition of Netmaker, I talk a bit about my creative marketing history with Twitter and take a closer look at the viability of developing similar concepts on Bluesky. open.substack.com/pub/netmaker...

Here's an open-source @codepen.io recreation of a Foo Fighters project from 2012: Federal Reserve of Foo Fighters. Mint yourself as a FOO bill using your web camera. 💵 codepen.io/leemartin/pe...

Resurrecting an ancient Foo Fighters app on @codepen.io today.

Currently writing the next edition of Netmaker and it's all about my creative marketing history with Twitter/X and looking forward to the future with @bsky.app. @jimmyeatworld.bsky.social will definitely make a cameo. Sign-up here: netmaker.leemartin.com

What are you using for a microphone these days?

✌🏻

I've developed a new website at www.eggs.luxury which tracks the average price of the most sought after luxury good in the world: one dozen eggs. I'm sure you've seen celebrities and influencers eating these.

The 2025 maintenance of leemartin.com is now live. I went ahead and bumped it to the latest version of @nuxt.com v3 and also updated the nuxt content module with @tur.so supporting. The site is also running @tailwindcss.com v4. This took longer than I thought but it seems to be running nicely.

I watched Prince perform "Purple Rain" in the rain at the @SuperBowl halftime show in 2007 and like many of you, I wondered, were there other times he performed "Purple Rain" and caused it to rain on that day in that location? So I ran a report. ☔️ www.purplerain.report

It's portfolio maintenance day for leemartin.com. Couple of aspects seem to be fraying and in need of repair. Going to fork and clean things up a bit.

Studying video game maps for a new client project. Recalling that I recreated the Red Dead Redemption 2 map in @mapbox.com. api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/ma...

No one told me you can add snow to a @mapbox.com gl map. docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js...

Happy one year anniversary to the @davidbowiereal.bsky.social Heroes Camera www.heroes.camera

Thanks to everyone who subscribed to "Netmaker" yesterday. I can't wait to write the first edition. www.netmaker.music

I'm reintroducing my creative marketing newsletter as "Netmaker" and distributing it on Substack and LinkedIn. Why Netmaker? Read the introduction post to learn more. Thanks for always supporting my work and writing. 🕸️ #netmaker open.substack.com/pub/netmaker...

Toying around with extending my personal branding for the purpose of reimagining my newsletter. I've been using the title "Netmaker" as a nod to my grandfather who made fishing nets for a living (as pictured.) 🕸️

Listen. I need to get back to work but go ahead... try on the Jaden Smith House now on TikTok. 🏰 vm.tiktok.com/ZT2M1h7Ek/ #grammys2025 #redcarpet #jadensmith

Loved this read about how @nintendousa.bsky.social mixes IRL into some of their apps. medium.com/user-experie...

Yesterday I tried to recall every music activation I ever built with the Twitter API and determine if I could build the same with the @bsky.app API. Everything checked out. 🙏🏻 Some of the earliest work was for @jimmyeatworld.bsky.social and we should work together again.

Last year around this time, I launched a little @davidbowiereal.bsky.social (unofficial) AI face swap camera built with @replicate.com and @nuxt.com which ended up going viral in Japan. Well, I finally got around to writing a little dev blog about it. www.leemartin.com/heroes-camera

This is how far I go back with the Twitter API. (App ID 220) Looking forward to building client projects on top of the @bsky.app API.

I'm actively beginning to hack on the @bsky.app API and it feels as inspirational as the original Twitter API.

New project for @theblackkeys.bsky.social which allows fans to tattoo themselves with a new album design using @pixijs.com and good ol' getUserMedia. Ready for some ink? tattoo.theblackkeys.com

I am very interested in the Bluesky API. 👀
