Today's peek inside the @kcommons.bsky.social tech lab: whenever we change the site, we have a set of automated tests that run to verify we haven't broken anything that was working before. Some of these test the code, and some test the actual site with a simulated browser. Green ticks make me happy!

Very cool! Congrats to @eve.gd and the @kcommons.bsky.social team. Great to see @orcid.org's Global Participation Fund grants being put to good use!
