@mazebuhu @datocms @astrodotbuild Not really 🥹 Truth be told, we don't have much experience with either. I've heard good things about both, but the reality is that node, especially the latest versions, hasn't given us any problem. And we tend to change toolchain only when we actually need to solve problems.

@lunelson @datocms As always, YMMV :)

[Stefano Verna @steffoz]

@lunelson @datocms In short, for an Italian SaaS, life is not so terrible :) We have also been able to take advantage over the years of a couple of particularly advantageous incentives from the Italian state, so the taxation in the first 5 years of activity has been absolutely excellent.

It's official! I'm now a proud participant in the IndieWeb! 🎉

Webmentions, feed, automatic backfeed from Mastodon... the whole package!

I only wished for clearer documentation. Connecting the pieces was a nightmare at first, but easy once understood.

"It's hard to explain in words the feeling of navigating a social network without ads. To have a feed that ends at some point. Where you don't feel sucked in, or used. Where you feel in control. It's beautiful."

Imagine a world where the terms “Instagram followers” or “Facebook friends” don’t exist. Instead, your followers on one platform are the same followers on all platforms. After all, aren’t they YOUR followers?

@giuseppegurgone Have you formed a personal opinion on whether it's better to stick with ActivityPub or not? The AT protocol might be better (haven't studied it deeply enough yet), but the fact that it's managed and controlled by an LLC with with VC money is already a huge red flag for me

"Since 2015, the richest 1% has owned more wealth than the rest of the planet.

We’ve come to the point that eight men now own the same amount of wealth as the poorest half of the world."

Very intense year 🧨

[DatoCMS @datocms]

Many new features, strong growth, and an all-new partner program have been just some of the highlights we've shared together in '23!

Check out what's in store for '24 as we carry on the tradition of reflecting on the previous year at DatoCMS 👇

Building large, complex organizations is a choice, not an obligation. We are very serene and happy because we're deliberate about what we're ignoring. 😌

[DatoCMS @datocms]

Our CLI can now automatically generate a migration script from the differences between two environments. 😃🔛🤩
This is a huge improvement in developer experience that, compounded over the life of a project, can easily save days/weeks of work. 🚀
