Here's a little easter egg for those of you using @seqera.io #platform.. 🥚 ✨

Recently we released a new feature that lets you set custom pipeline icons. What's less well known is that animated icons are also supported - party time!! 🪩 🥳 🎉

The trick is to rename your .gif to a .png file extension 🤫

Last year I gave a talk at #PyCon Sweden about one of my pet-projects: rich-click.

The title was "Accidentally popular: Beautiful CLI interfaces with rich-click". I talked about the library, but also the #opensource journey, involving @willmcgugan.bsky.social, @tiangolo.com and Daniel Reeves 😊

That feeling when AI can create cat videos with better @nextflow.io training content than you've made in years.. 😻 😹

Could this be the new face of #Nextflow at @seqera.io ?!

By default, the @seqera.io #containers web interface searches the `bioconda` and `conda-forge` channels 📦

But did you know that you can prepend your search term with *any* conda channel?

Try it out: seqera.io/containers/

Yes, but can it run Doom?

`nextflow run doom`

The @nextflow.io advent calendar by @flowuenne.bsky.social goes super deep on easter eggs 😂

There are challenges nested within challenges (some even require downloading and running a pipeline) - I confess I resorted to reading the source code to find this one..
