types could definitely be a bit tighter, but it works!

@matfire/drizzle-sluggable - npmx Generate unique scoped slugs for Drizzle ORM inserts and updates

I tried building a sluggifier package for @drizzle.team inspired by laravel-sluggable from spatie and I just tagged v1.0.0. If this is something that might come in handy, you can find it here: npmx.dev/package/@mat...

Do let me know what you think (can definitely be improved I think)

I can’t remember their name, but a while ago a company made a computer case shaped like a radiator that would heat the room it was in (this was when bitcoin was rising for the first time and everyone was mining)

I think I did this right?
All my articles should be synced to a standard publication, with links working correctly between the publication and the documents 🎉🎉

show a table of versions for focuslive with version 0.1 in a status of "pending review"

focuscast is coming to a streamdeck near you! 🎉 (it just needs to be approved first)

a yellow block, a green block and a red block with random text inside

ah, that feeling when you're just debugging adding things to the screen and it looks terrible but you haven't had to go down the rabbit hole of ui/ux and lost hours on it...

And now we have a website: focuscast.live

you can find it here
github.com/matfire/focu...

with a steam deck integration coming soon(ish); I'll probably start working on it on stream this afternoon

I made a thing that's practically finished!

Focuscast is a @ratatui.rs tui that allows users to create mappings between applications and obs sources. It will automatically toggle the visibility of the created mappings when the focused window gets changed

Also did this for a yet to be released package, more on it soon

Release 0.1.8 - 2026-01-25 · getbalzac/balzac Release Notes 🐛 Bug Fixes Npm release Install balzac 0.1.8 Install prebuilt binaries via shell script curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/getbalzac/balzac/releases/download/v...

Finally setup proper distribution for balzac using @release-plz.dev and dist!

I am happy to announce you can now get balzac from brew, npm and as binary packages: you can check the latest release here github.com/getbalzac/ba...

Easiest way to use it definitely to just npx balzac build

Yeah, I saw the demo video and was like: I need this 🤩!

Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it

But I’m sure I’ll figure something out. Maybe a custom stream handler instead of using the built-in sse stream helper function?

Wow is @tanstack.com ai good! Managed to setup a small website generator with custom system prompts, tools and such in record time and with little friction on the package size (more of a prompting issue). Still need to figure out a way to save/restore message history server side…

Anyway, still a far way off 1.0, but getting closer 👍

« latest articles » section, build menus and such (none of this is built/finalized yet). One of the things I want / need to implement is the option to replace html tags with custom components (think replacing img tags with figures, for example - this is something nuxt content does)

Oh yeah, forgot to mention Balzac now has support for automatic sitemap generation! This required some (a lot of) rework of the build pipeline, but now it has opened the path more useful helpers which were impossible before, like being able to get the list of all elements in a collection to build a

Live working on a linear alternative built (partly) with automerge, come hang out!

Aaand we've got docs fresh out the oven!

built with starlight (honestly I did not want to remake all components in handlebars to use balzac to build balzac's docs - though that's possible)

docs.balzac.rs

In hindsight this was a bit of a stupid mistake, but I have a huge refactor planned that should make it simpler to implement other spots for hooks to run (docs should help too), but that will take a bit of time

For example, the current available hooks either run before the whole build starts or after it has ended. Part of the build deletes the output directory and recreates it. If vite outputs to the same directory (it should), then the manifest never exists when template compilation happens

Balzac has experimental support for vite as a bundler. If enabled, it will read the vite manifest file and provide a {{vite_url}} handlebars helper to automatically get the proper url for an asset. Or will be merged shortly, but still needs some more logic to work flawlessly

Finally started looking into #automerge and I think I’m hooked. Still need to figure network sync with authentication, but shouldn’t be too hard (hopefully)

bringing Balzac closer to being able to have its own documentation website built using Balzac (just some QoL improvements left). Will probably continue building it on stream in the following days :)

Balzac 0.1.3 is out!

Partially built live on twitch, this is an experiment in static site generation using #rust. You can find more info on it at balzac.rs and the latest release at github.com/getbalzac/ba....

0.1.3 brings markdown collections with frontmatter parsing...

between commits. Been thinking about this a lot and might just do it myself (I have an astro blog, which uses unified, where I could theoretically jump into the mdast and render out the blocks I need), though I don't know when yet

Theoretically, I think you could just loop over your posts (or just get the newest one) and create a record in a leaflet publication (if mirroring a blog) with the article content parsed into leaflet blocks. and then publish it to your pds. Could probably do it with GH based on the changed files...
