Pretty stoked for an evening of music! This is my son’s first time and my second time. #finalfantasy

Here’s what I built using this tool:

Vitest 4 is out! The added support for spying on classes and that sounds pretty neat. The only problem is they dropped support for Node.js 18. It uses 'node:inspector/promises' which was introduced in Node.js 19. So I guess I have to remove Node 18 from my CI matrix?

One of my favorite pictures from JSConf is the three Chris/Kris’s @voodootikigod.bsky.social @kriszyp.bsky.social #jsconf

My friend @brianmuenzenmeyer.com wrote a book about the world of open source! Take a sec and check it out: approachableopensource.com

JSConf isn’t just about JavaScript, but the friends we make along the way. #jsconf

It just wouldn’t have been a JSConf without Ethan Arrowood and @ruyadorno.com. The work they do for the Node.js world is appreciated. #jsconf

Huge thanks to the @vlt.sh team for building something new and refreshing in the world of package managers and taunting me with LEGO to try it out. Join me and check them out: www.vlt.sh

Bryan Hughes talking about JavaScript performance. C is really fast compared to JS, followed closely by Rust. Just learned Rust has a swap operation, but it’s slow? #jsconf

Finally get to meet my good friend and AST parsing guru, @pvdz.ee!

The one, the only, Dr. Hughes!

Lit is joining the OpenJS Foundation. Apparently it’s the 5th most popular framework on npm? Does anyone actually use it? #jsconf

I’m not sure who puts on a better show: Sleep Token or the fans. I’ve never been to a concert before where nearly everyone sang every word to every song. #sleeptoken

I'm going to 3D print this simple router template. It took me about 2 hours to figure out to export a 2D polyline from AutoCAD as a DXF, import into Blender, configure units, convert to mesh, fill, extrude, export to STL, and export the gcode in PrusaSlicer. What a pain.

Day 31: Another late update. I really wanted to wrap up the captive onboarding flow for new users before tomorrow.

Day 27: Late update, but bounced around a bunch. Had this idea to add a menu item to test the webhook endpoint.

Chris Barber @chrisbarber.dev · 27/11/2024

Day 26: I went back to add the UI for inviting users to orgs. Quite a bit of moving parts, but it's good. I started the accept invite page, but nowhere near done and I need to send the invite emails. I cleaned up the API key and webhook secret handling. More secure now.

Chris Barber @chrisbarber.dev · 26/11/2024

Hmm, this means something...

Added the browser to the list of active sessions. Might come in handy.

Chris Barber @chrisbarber.dev · 25/11/2024

Day 25: Webhooks UI is done! Next I'll work on the invite member which will send an email. Not exactly sure how to do this with an auth provider. Email links to sign in page, then redirect to page where user accepts org invite?

Chris Barber @chrisbarber.dev · 25/11/2024

Day 24: Finally added the UI for managing API keys. I have a bit of code cleanup to do and wire up the event driven stuff, but this was a nice low hanging fruit.

Chris Barber @chrisbarber.dev · 23/11/2024

Day 23: Working on the org member page. Each org has a single "owner", then you can invite anybody to be a member or admin.

Day 21: Today I will finish the image storage. Images are uploaded to the API endpoint, optimized and resized using sharp, then streamed to Cloudflare R2. Upon retrieval, it will fetch the requested size or resize the original on-the-fly. May have to revisit the download logic for the CDN.

Circled back to clean up the UI and define some style conventions. Found a nice font called Nunito.

I see Drizzle ORM changed how you define indexes when creating a table. The 3rd arg is a callback that returns the indexes. The docs say to return an object, but now you can just return an array, which makes much more sense.

Even though I'm no longer with Vercel, Vercel is with me. 😀
