IvyCo now has an app! We're helping automate climate action with every purchase your make. Give it a try!

@joinatmos oooo clearly I need to pay more attention. Solar loans are intriguing - will check that out too.

Still looking forward to the Joint Account option though!

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

Hey @joinatmos - any update on when Joint Accounts are rolling out?

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

It's stuffed with all the Open Banking best-practices the Lost Sheep Advisory team has learned over the years. Features include:

- Plaid Transactions integration
- Create and manage budgets
- Recategorize transactions
- A full featured user dashboard

and more!

Introducing the newest template (and the https://t.co/G1ni002vks team's first foray into templates) in the @bubble Marketplace: a fully @Plaid enabled Budget Management app! https://t.co/cldrXF8Y7D

You had to be there. After months of redesign and refactoring and three rejections, @usemuchapp is in the Apple store 🥹🦸🏾‍♀️. We have a small but mighty team of 1.5 ( cc: @BrianAAlderman ). I couldn’t be more proud #buildinpublic.

Dear #electrification twitter: we need more plumbers who have actual experience with heat pump water heaters. I'm getting absurd quotes from local plumbers, so am going to DIY it. But want to do a virtual design validation and "gotchas" consult first. Can't find anyone.

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@Makerealcents @thegarrettscott It me.

@NocodeTalks @98wongjf @bubble Worth it though - in 6 months when I come back to an app, I can understand why we made the choices that we did. No amount of automation makes that easier - this is the high value work that's just a necessary part of development.

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@NocodeTalks @98wongjf @bubble Sure! Here's a brief preview of a part focusing on some "basics" and some key data types (with some app and client specific context removed). We do the same for key pages and backend workflows.

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@NocodeTalks @98wongjf @bubble We use Git markdown documents, but what you show is WAY lower level than our documentation. Our doc. focus is on higher level architecture/logic decisions - the "why" - instead of the "What". IMHO Bubble is fairly self-documenting at the "what".

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@nocodelife @CranfordTech @bubble 👋

The notion API (especially databases) + Bubble is a tough one.

It'll be something like what's in the screen grab. Where "Description" is substituted for the field in your database (that's what the NotionProperty function does)

Summary of Manchin Schumer deal

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

Aww shucks. Thanks @ClayRaterman! It helps to be pointed the right direction by a compelling vision.

👀 keep an eye on https://t.co/4G5VfndyJV - exciting things, coming soon.

[Clay Raterman @ClayRaterman]

In terms of development talent, especially when it comes to @bubble ...@BrianAAlderman and @NocodeTalks are two of the best out there without a doubt. Problem solvers & Pioneers!

Excited to share some recent work with you all soon 🤫

[Clay Raterman @ClayRaterman]

Are there any other @bubble devs working on fintech? (or just great devs)
@BrianAAlderman @elibeachy @DisruptAlways @NocodeTalks are all incredible!
I'm trying to send out the beacon. Let me know who's out there if you have met anyone else
@yelkhayami - I'd love to chat sometime!

@kno_code In theory the making the call part isn't "dangerous" since the user making the call is allowed to see that key (though having keys appear in your logs isn't great, which would happen in this case).

It's more about storage of the key

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@kno_code To me, the bigger threat is having an API key in the database. Api keys usually warrant higher security than privacy rules can provide, unless you have a double authentication on that API call (like a platform token entered on the plugin page too).

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@kno_code That also enables encrypt/decrypt of that key so it's never visible to the browser or stored in plain text in the db.

But i deal with lots of financial data, hence security paranoia.

[Brian Alderman @BrianAAlderman]

@kno_code Depending on the use case and sensitivity of that dynamic key, i sometimes move this whole operation from the API connector to a server side action via a plugin.

Lately I've been feeling cynical and even a bit "doomerist."

So recently I asked 25 climate leaders a question: "Has there been any progress on climate action in 2022?"

Here's what I learned:

@Theodore_DI @NeilRyanPierce Europe is more complicated. I've been liking what I see from Nordigen. I'm building out an app with them right now - ask me in a week or so and I'll report back. Plaid is getting there but it's pricy. SaltEdge has come across my radar too but haven't tried it yet.
