Only issue I have also involves vite_ruby complaining there’s no index.html in an entrypoint which I think is more a vite_ruby issue

Also I’m always gonna type Cmd T herb.yml to get to the file

Just my view

You’re gonna see them in your IDE anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And now they’re all sorted with .env files and you have a two tier sorting view.

Also sliding in a request for an accompanying rubyschema 😉

Can’t wait for the new features but question:
What’s the reasoning behind .herb.yml - why all the hiding periods for config files? Makes some sense for those adopting the rc suffix convention. But we’re not configuring bash. (I know rubocop does this). I prefer just seeing my files in Finder

Just spotted a minor bug on the homepage.
These definitely put the few WC’s
I’ve made to shame!

Scary stuff when the accepted rule of the land for 250yrs is just ignored and hand waved away. Also sets a precedent for the future.

Should be on. I have a workspace I use half the time (which breaks a few other extensions) the app is in a subfolder and I sometimes just open that which doesn’t have its own vscode settings.json.

Oh absolutely. Just need tools to do sort the indentations on save and we’ll be much better. Cursor doesn’t seem to do well for me.

What about those that were members? Also let’s not forget the $1m Shopify granted to RubyCentral. Why doesn’t it return to the rubygems org and maintainers of that org includes a few more ruby-core people and works to align CoC’e and governance. Are the previous maintainers just out now?

We barely use word at all so probably not as helpful.

Just a little bit of Vue and little bit of json.

Is it robust? No. Is it easy to update? Slightly. Does it work? Yes. Is it better than 20+ html files? Yes. Am I proud of this dumb tool? Yes. I am.

Then each person gets matched to their user id in an internal tool and when they open their new profile page, it grabs the file, reads the template, finds the user info (by user id), fills the template then renders on page. Then there’s a plain+html copy button and a source code copy.

And that’s 2600 keys down to…:7. Honestly there’s no way that many redis keys are needed. These are internal tools and a public one that needs no sessions.

Herb has already helped pick up some markup bugs I’d not spotted yet! Thanks for the work you do.
