What I Worked On Last Week

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share some updates on what I've been working on recently. It's been a mix of bug fixes, design improvements, and some exciting new features across a few different projects. Here’s a breakdown:

WIP

🛠 Bug Fixes:

 • Fixed a bug where clicking on an avatar would download it instead of displaying it in the browser. Note that most avatars are still cached with the old behavior.

 • Resolved an issue where images couldn't be easily saved due to an absolutely positioned div overlaying them. Thanks to @levelsio for the heads up!

🎨 Design Improvements:

 • Improved the design of summary cards for questions, roasts, intros, and milestones.

 • Decided to hide comments from the feed temporarily because they were causing confusion due to incomplete design.

🚀 New Features:

 • Finally included posts in the homepage feed after many years! It's a big step forward in making the feed more comprehensive.

 • Implemented a new loading mechanism where the homepage now loads 5 entries per page instead of 25, significantly speeding up page loads.

 • Entries on the homepage are now loaded asynchronously via turbo frames.

 • Transitioned to using delegated types, so the homepage feed is now a list of "entries" instead of just "todos." This means the feed can include todos, posts, comments, and more. The design is still a work in progress, but the long-term vision is to have a unified feed of WIP activity.

📱 Tech Upgrades:

 • Got beta access to Copilot Workspace to facilitate repository-wide changes.

 • Upgraded to iOS 18 beta.

 • Made the Home Screen black and white using the new iOS 18 tinting feature.

👗 Personal:

 • Tried out a new outfit!

Startup Jobs

💻 Codebase Updates:

 • Finally replaced all old SASS with regular CSS. I’ve been using Tailwind CSS for new pages, but the codebase was quite old with lots of legacy CSS.

 • Replaced esbuild with importmaps for better module management.

It’s been a productive period, and I’m excited about the progress made across these projects. Looking forward to sharing more updates soon!

Happy making,

Marc


This is an experiment. This post was generated by AI by providing it my recently completed todos.

Ha, who would've suspected. I thought you spent some time writing all this down and formatting it on your own 😄

interesting. if u hadnt told me it was AI i wouldnt have guessed.

I guess it helps a lot that it's based on my manually written todos. So it repurposes all of that and just ties it all together.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and like others, I didn't think it sounded as if AI had written it.

Hey, this is cool! And can this be done via @wipbot? It might be too much for the bot to handle(?).

Right now I do it manually with ChatGPT. I'm considering making it a WIP feature.
