Congratulations, @vercel.com is lucky to have you!

Migrated my account, too. What a smooth experience compared to a Mastodon migration.

I'm baffled that when using the Bsky web app with @eurosky.social, I don't notice any difference.

Is there any other (web) client you can recommend?

Svank you for your svervice.

GitHub is like my fiber internet provider.

The whole neighborhood would switch providers in the blink of an eye if there was a less crappy alternative.

But monopolists are masters at annoying their customers just below the rage-quit threshold.

How to install agent skills as dependencies YouTube video by Thilo Maier

If you have been wondering what agent skills are: this video is for you.

Introduction to agent skills and I’m installing the official #svelte skills.

How do I migrate?

Curious to hear what you will test as a MacBook replacement.

The state of European hosting alternatives YouTube video by Thilo Maier

I recently did a deep dive into European hosting alternatives to Big Tech players like Vercel and Cloudflare.

I was excited to see many European players trying to take on their US counterparts. But is European hosting ready for your website?

Find out in my video:

Comments inside Svelte component tags Svelte now supports comments inside component tags, making inline documentation cleaner for components and HTML elements.

Sometimes, it's the smallest improvements that create the biggest excitement.

Gotta use subsidized prompts while they last (while being opted out) because they probably won’t last long.

At the moment your chances of encountering UI bugs on GitHub are quite high 😂

Uhm, @github.com, would you mind running some integration tests before updating your website?

What component libraries do you use for customer projects?

🤣

Alright, you planted the seed of switching over in my head.

It's 2026 and Google happily sends out spam calendar invites with easy to catch fake invoice content and no option to report as spam 🤦‍♂️

Inconsistent UI has been an issue with @github.com for years.

It would help if you can clarify what role the website will play long term vs the Discord server.

I think people share naturally where they hang out, be it here or on Discord. And then there is little incentive to cross post to the website.

Why is this still on the agenda?

This has been democratically rejected only recently. Yet, European conservatives can't take a no for a no.

Democracy is not a game in which you repeat a vote until you get the result you please.

SVG-powered YouTube thumbnails Learn how to use Boxy SVG to create professional YouTube thumbnails from SVG files without design skills.

SVG files are often the byproduct of vector-based graphic design.

You design in some pro tool with proprietary file format and then export to SVG. The result is often a messy SVG file.

This does not do justice to SVG. You can use SVG as your main design format.

There goes my bracket.

Congrats to you and @wesbos.com for a fantastic match!

On Netflicss?

I wonder if performance gains will ever outweigh the friction that non-Node environments (including Cloudflare) create?

Who cares if you deploy a Node app with a clumsy Docker container as long as the app feels snappy?

A lockfile for agentic skills Learn how skills-lock.json turns agentic skills into managed project dependencies.

The last time I installed a skill there was no lockfile. Now there is.

Skills are now managed dependencies, which is wild.

Remote Coding Agents YouTube video by Syntax

One nugget in this episode was @wesbos.com saying that whoever will make the handoff between local and remote agents seamless (in both directions) will be the winner in this market.

Once more, it's not AI but the tooling around that makes or breaks the experience.

Just in general I don’t get the AI CLI hype.

The state of European hosting alternatives YouTube video by Thilo Maier

In my latest video I'm trying to answer the question how feasible it is to move web applications to European hosting providers.

Lot's of promising options but can they match what US Big Tech has to offer?

Just trying things out. It's nowhere as elaborate and polished as your channel.

Congrats and also congrats to @cassidoo.co. Best match so far 💪
