Everyone is talking about #omarchy , but if you are not ready to switch to Arch or too comfortable with GNOME, you can try my opinionated tiling setup for GNOME. It's distro-agnostic, so it works any distro:

Enjoy!

KRUG #4 is back! 💎

Join us on Oct 28 at 18:00 at Zendesk Kraków.

We’ve got a great lineup of talks - from the Decider Pattern, through a PostgreSQL-to-SQLite migration, to lessons on managing gem upgrades and building mobile apps the Rails way.

RSVP 👉 luma.com/se3qppbl

See you there! 🚀

What's the best way to learn about some new concept? Building a project using it! Recently, I've been interested in MCP servers, so I built one with Ruby (and `fast-mcp` gem). It allows you to query HackerNews (as what else can you do on Friday 😅).

Code: github.com/lcmen/hn-mcp/

Join our next KRUG meetup, powered by @rubycentral.org & Fastly, with venue support from Forte Digital

Talks:

- Michał Papis: Code UnCov & Pluginator
- @josevalim.bsky.social: Livebook - where Web, AI, and Concurrency meet

🗓️ June 10, 18:00
📍 Forte Space, Krupnicza 3, Kraków

Another idea inspired by the Ash Framework book: my journey into the pin operator and macros in #Elixir.

Check it out: www.mendelowski.com/blog/2025/03...

I'm not an Elixir expert, so I welcome feedback from more experienced Elixir folks. Hope you enjoy it!

Hey @chastell.net, @tomash.eu mentioned that you were able to configure AI assistant in Vim (NeoVim?). Can you share your setup? Were you able to replicate VSCode / Cursor experience in applying changes from chat window to source files (Composer like behavior)?

Recently, I started reading the "Ash Framework" book. While building the example app, I spotted an area for improvement - leading to my first-ever contribution to the 🧪 Elixir ecosystem!

My changes to @ash-hq.org and `ash_postgres` are ready for release! 🚀

Wow... What a surprise! Look what I found in my mailbox.
Thank you so much, @inazarova.bsky.social !
That’s so kind of you.

PS. It’s also my birthday today, so you couldn’t have picked a better day!

If one of your 2025 resolutions is to explore modern front-end solutions for #rails, I’ve got you covered. Check out my blog post and repo comparing #Hotwire, #htmx , #unpolyjs and #inertiajs.

www.mendelowski.com/blog/2024/11...

I know that no one asked for it, but I've added #inertiajs to the mix (with React without JSX transpilation!). Compare it with #hotwire, #htmx, and #unpoly.

The same principle as before: single controller, no build, importmap, and propshaft.

#TIL that #postgresql allows you to create custom aggregate functions www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/writing-y...

Nice!

@solnic.dev quick questions about your justcrosspost.app!

1. Which AI tool were you using for HTML templates? Was it consistent in design across different elements?
2 Are you using any unique Elixir/Phoenix features that would be tough to achieve in Ruby/Rails?

Thanks!

Some people asked me about my experience with
#hotwire, #htmx and #unpoly while building the app.

I summarized my insights in a follow-up blog post: www.mendelowski.com/blog/2024/11...

Hey everyone! It's my first post here.

Just want to share that recently, I've built a simple TODO app with Rails to compare #hotwire #htmx and #unpoly. It follows progressive enhancement spirit (the same controller is used for all the variants). You can check it here: github.com/lcmen/hotwir...
