This is a feed of little tidbits, or bytes of information, that don’t really warrant a full blog post. Typically, I’ll share random, short thoughts about programming and design, as well as things I’m working on.
Been quiet here for some time, but back at it. The site has received a visual simplification – because branding is better left to actual products that need their own identity.
Coming soon: Routisan’s replacement, though I don’t plan to maintain it long term – filesystem routing is just better, in pretty much every case. Also, working on some new updates to WeasyPrint for Laravel, as well as a new package that makes dialogs super-easy to work with in Vue 3 apps.
I’ve redeployed this site to Fly.io. It previously ran on a very-much-manually-configured Amazon EC2 instance, and the migration path was extremely smooth — took less than 10 minutes!
Open source hasn’t been getting enough attention from me of late. Hopefully, this can soon change, and it technically already has, with my rewrite of Routisan, currently underway.
I’ve spent the past few months learning TypeScript. Quite crazy to think that, over and above it being a superset of JavaScript, it’s a language within a language!
More recently, I’ve also spent some time learning Rust. Bit of a brain-twister, but keen to learn more and, hopefully, build something useful with it soon.
WeasyPrint for Laravel v7 has been released. It drops support for PHP 8.0, and now requires Laravel 9+ to run.
