Ooooh, I'm just 7 subscribers away from reaching the 700 mark for UMB.FYI. If you know someone that's not subscribed yet, be sure to get them to signup 😁

Would be real nice to reach that target by my 100th issue in a couple of weeks time 🤞

At Codegarden this year, the MCP integration by Phil Whittaker and Matt Wise showed just how jaw-dropping AI powered workflows can be in Umbraco.

But what if we brought that same power to Umbraco Commerce?

This is what I explore in my latest blog post mattbrailsford.dev/building-an-...

Just playing around vibe coding atm, but would there be any appetite for an UMB.FYI dashboard folks could use as their browser default page featuring key Umbraco info?

The 100th issue of UMB.FYI is coming next month! 🎉

I’ve always avoided tracking clicks, so I don’t know what kind of impact it’s had — but maybe you do?

If you saw a boost after being featured, I’d love to hear about it. Tag me or use #UmbfyiEffect to share. 💙
