Made some significant updates to my YouTube Thumbnail extension for Raycast: bms.so/yt-thumb • Added support for all available thumbnail sizes. • Added a History section for previous thumbnails. • Fixed a bunch of bugs and questionable decisions.

As @glastopedia.com passes 10,000 pages and with no festival until 2027, it seems like a good time to start thinking about a complete revamp. Years of adding new features while entire sections were held together by tape resulted in some fun additions, but like all of us, the site needs some love.

I'm sure it's not entirely surprisingly that my first attempt at an automated Bluesky account is @glasto.cam

Ivan shared this screenshot of @notion.com's highly anticipated offline mode on 𝕏 and inadvertently leaked some strange new features.

Reminded of Aphex Twin every time I drink water.
The lid of a black LARQ water bottle, which shows only the A of their logo. It has similarities to Aphex Twin’s more abstract “A” logo.

Toying with the idea of pulling Bluesky posts into my site, because I definitely post a lot and also have very good posts.

It's been a very fun week building with @craftcms.com. A couple of client projects on the go, as well as a new side project I've been thinking about for ages. I'm excited to share more info soon!

wait what the hell
Also, a reminder that we're opening doors earlier at 9am for community members and then swiftly beginning our gladiator-style battles at 9:15am.

I wonder if they'll have gladiator-style battles at this event. #makewithnotion #mwnldn

My favourite part of Gladiator II was when the logo at the start transitioned into GLADIIATOR. My second favourite part was when the film ended and I could go home.

Bluesky lagging and my inability to post something correctly on the first try is not a great combo.

I love being involved in different communities around the web. It’s nice being able to take a break from one and spend a little time in another, and there not be any crossover. I can just go hang out with the Glastonbury obsessives and know they won’t mention a word about Notion or web development.

Please share your own favourite domains. They don't have to be related to Glastonbury. I'm gonna go with bensometh.ing, lame.chat, and gurn.ing (big up British slang).

In case you need to spread the word.

Not only does Bluesky not penalise you for posting links, it also displays them with the page title and description under the image, just as God intended.

Hot tip for @bsky.app + @raycast.com users: set up a new "Bluesky Drafts" note using Raycast Notes, create a Quicklink for it (shift + cmd + L), then map that quicklink to a keyboard shortcut in Raycast's Settings → Extensions. Nice.
