I added it! It was very easy. Hardest part was coming up with a good template haha
Your recommended metatags lib is only Phoenix 1.8+, so I couldn't use it on my Phoenix 1.7 project 🥲 ended up rolling my own since I didn't want to upgrade right now

Looks like an awesome venue!

I saw this last night and was just thinking the same! Typst to PNG could definitely be used for OpenGraph images

I complain a little bit about the punctuality, but I have to admit that I feel lucky to live in a place where there are options for long distance, eco-friendly public transit which is (relatively) clean, safe and affordable

Update: luck was in my favor!
Despite DB’s best efforts (including one cancelled train and rerouting through a different city), I made it home after 9h13m after boarding the train in Berlin this afternoon.

Nice! Looking forward to see the updated design 🤩

It’s a good option to order PCBs in Europe. The only downside is that it’s either a little more expensive or a little slower than ordering from China.
Their assembly offering, however, is not worth it in my opinion. Significantly more expensive and significantly slower than ordering from China

Aisler is great for bare boards, even more so when you don’t have a tight timeline. My 4 layer, 0.8mm, express delivery orders have been around ~€70 the last couple times. And their good quality with ENIG.
You can get it for much less if your need simpler designs or slower turn around.

Ah bummer! Your module is looking really clean.
I’ve had some good luck with pre-ordering parts with JLC lately, if you can tolerate a week or two delay you can give that a try :)

Great deep dive!
I read the whole thing and really enjoyed it, no suffering! Did I do it wrong? 🤔

For really really tiny components where I don’t have the proper equipment, I’ve had really good luck by going to a phone repair shop and asking the technician to help me out. They usually have hot air and a good microscope. I got some 0.4mm BGAs re-mounted that way

Indeed. It’s been a bit more than 14 hours and my package already cleared customs at the UPS hub in Germany. Absolutely incredible

You’re absolutely right!
Jk. But actually though, if a company uses a chatbot instead of actual support people then my opinion of them drops 99% instantly
I get that small companies can’t have 24/7 support, but at the very least let me email a human!!
