🚀 Founder of - the open-source platform. 👷 @hospitable at day. 🧑‍🚀 @astrotomic_oss at night.

[Tom Herrmann 🦦🌳🇩🇪 @devgummibeer]

For all interested in starting with open-source and also contributing to a package for a longer time:
This was more irony - but some advice:
Pick a package you use "daily" - check open issues, check codebase for possible improvements AND subscribe to it.

Can I hire an intern to care for all the @dependabot PRs in the @astrotomic_oss repositories? 🤔🤯😂

Applications to [email protected] 🙈

I built a tiny icon-morphing component with AlpineJS + Blade!

You literally just pass in two SVGs and it handles the morphing for you. Could be on hover or whatever other trigger/event is needed

Super simple to use, but it makes interactions feel so much more polished.

@marcelpociot @beyondcode my Tinkerwell is looking like that since my last MacBook update. 😟
Any way to rescue it including/mainly the open tab scripts? Or should I just give up, properly git my scripts and do a fresh reinstall of Tinkerwell? 🤔

[Tom Herrmann 🦦🌳🇩🇪 @devgummibeer]

@ssmusoke @abdussekalala A tiny one. 🙈 But it was actually made by @ArondeParon during the holidays. 🎅
Am just providing my avatar to the website. 😂

Cool little helper to keep all your MR/PR on watch. Primary in a company with several repositories and AI agents creating PRs for you silently from Slack this is great. 🚀

kitze told me to do it soooo...

happy to launch https://t.co/MGlTFc4EXg. this is my first macOS app and it does one thing: show me a unified list of PRs and MRs that matter to me across Github and Github.

It's free to try and if it solves a problem for you, you can buy it for a one-time fee of $12

started working on this last week, fully coded with Claude Code + Codex

Under the hood, it's using Tauri for the app, and React for the UI. https://t.co/4TLKiFr6Ag is a simple Laravel website with a tiny API to handle app-updates + github release triggers (whenever I push a new tag, GH will build + notarize the app and notify the website of the new release). Billing + license key management is handled through @polar_sh

Learned quite some new stuff in the past couple of days and happy to answer any questions if you have them!

@LiamHammett Even if dangerous - but I would love this to support HTTP2CLI. So be it a phpMyAdmin like admin console or a limited fun CLI with a command allow list.

[Tom Herrmann 🦦🌳🇩🇪 @devgummibeer]

@LiamHammett Not necessarily the parent but the visible below element.

[Aron Rotteveel @ArondeParon]

I have decided to increase my luck surface (thanks @aarondfrancis 😅) so I'm shipping an MVP of something that solves a personal frustration: I like newsletters, but I notice that I don't often subscribe to them because I like a clean inbox, too.

So, I've built Newsdrop.

You get a unique email address that you can use for newsletters and it will automatically send you an email digest whenever you want.

The MVP already has some other cool features in it as well such as automatically importing newsletters from your Gmail account, and an online inbox for all your newsletters.

Feel free to give it a go!

@stevemushero @AnggaNegara_ @JustSteveKing @phpstorm Same here - 3 projects with thousands of project classes and not an issue. When I had issues it was a plugin going rogue.

@christophrumpel What we learned is: when you are about to judge and have time and so on - offer help in a sensible way. Same as you do carrying a stroller on stairs and so on.
Do not make them feel bad but help them all feel better.

[Tom Herrmann 🦦🌳🇩🇪 @devgummibeer]

@christophrumpel I would say, as always: judge, rate, comment whatever you want in your head. But by god’s sake, activate your voice filter!
You can think that I‘m the worst dad on earth, your free right. But not getting to me and comment it in any way just to make yourself feel better.

[Tom Herrmann 🦦🌳🇩🇪 @devgummibeer]

@EmmettNaughton @christophrumpel I can order a square meter size pizza regularly or larger at special restaurants.

@themsaid Not judging real neurotypical child. But in a lot of families something like shown is done and standardized from toddler age. And it’s proven that display time before 3yo has massive influence on brain development - not in a good way.

[Tom Herrmann 🦦🌳🇩🇪 @devgummibeer]

@rzvme @igorbenic @taylorotwell This! I don’t know how Taylor interviews. But to me this isn’t about doing it perfect and bug free in the first attempt and knowing all natives and framework tools. But how you think and approach the task and any issues.

@adamwathan I use gap when I want spacing equal in a container and margin when there are different spacing.

@ryangjchandler @jeffrey_way Stewm is putting pressure on Publishers to make games linux compatible because of Steam deck. So they are pushing the industry away from Windows exclusives. 🥳

@ArmanHo09706241 @Tecno_Boomer @taylorotwell Laravel has an active development - weekly minor releases and yearly major. The reason for the major releases isn’t that it’s an entirely new framework but that there are breaking changes. And yearly so that these changes do not wait forever in a branch.
