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?

Hmm, that's interesting. Looks like posting UMB.FYI to bluesky messed up a little today. Looks like the tag facets didn't quite lineup. Not entirely sure why 🤔

Thanks to all at #Umbraco #MVPSummit and #Codegarden who attended my ND workplace talk!

It was the first time publicly sharing my story after my diagnosis last year and I was super nervous but you all made it feel safe.

This community is truly #Umbazing 🙏

After dealing with a growing influx of SEO filler articles submitted to UMB.FYI I decided to add to my property editor that summarises links using AI to also score content for value, depth and impact. At the click of a button I get a subtle traffic light visual of it’s a quality. #umbraco

Nice. Tweaked the JSON output to streamline payloads and format links and I now get some good recommendations 😎

Well this is cool 😎

I've been doing a lot of Peloton classes lately, however having incurred a rotator cuff injury and suffering with a herniated disk, it is just a pain to search their UI for suitable classes.

So I created a Peloton MCP server and asked Claude to search for me

Here's how the Umbraco Commerce v15 perf stats stack up against v12/v13.

Not too shabby if I do say so myself 😎

I can't tell you how pleased I am to see this chart. We took a gamble in Umbraco Commerce v15 to move to a fully async API and I'm not gonna lie, it worried me.

But after some fiddling, we are finally seeing the results in practically double the capacity of v13 😍

Wh00p! And well done on being the first in my feed to have both an MS and Umbraco MVP label.

Ooooh, my custom Bluesky labeler works 🥳

Just a proof of concept at the moment, but now I know it works it’s time to flesh out the details.

Failing that, my Omnibot Lego build is pretty pixely 😁 #yarrbooty #2024

Can we use ChatGPT for this one too? 😀

With more people tipping for umb.fyi, I thought it was time to streamline the process of converting a tip to a media item.

So I've creating a modal that pre-populates the media item fields with data from the tip.

Still a manual process, but this reduces the number of steps it takes

The X purge is complete with all posts now deleted. I'll keep the account so it doesn't get spammed, but I won't be posted there anymore (not that I have for the last 2 years anyway)
November 27, 2024 at 9:42 AM
Lets do this Bluesky!

You can now UMB.FYI tip your favourite #Umbraco content just like you can on Mastodon and Discord.

Simply reply to the post of interest tagging in the @umb.fyi account followed by the keyword 'tip'.

Happy tipping 🤠

Almost there with a BlueSky tip bot for UMB.FYI. It all works but I could do with waiting on a bug fix in the client library I’m using.

Hmmm, how committed am I to delivering UMB.FYI on EVERY Wednesday morning? 🤔 #umbraco

With the amount of new people here, I guess it's time to add deck.blue to my Sidekick panel 😁

After yesterday’s #UmbraCoffee and hearing folk struggle to stay up to date with the latest #Umbraco news, it inspired me to start something new. A weekly #Umbraco newsletter with TL;DRs and links for all the essential updates.
