We were asking users to fill out 5 inputs to create an account and according to research each additional input reduces form completion rate by 30% so that was no good. So, as of today, Liveframe now supports continue with google. #buildinpublic #events #liveframe

Since Liveframe always uses full quality images, I realized adding photos on cell service can take some time. But we really want those 4k images from our guests! So I had to get creative. Here's what I came up with. #bubbles #weddings #events #photos

Liveframe just leveled up: enterprise users can now post videos! 🎬 Had to wrangle autoplay + fades on the live wall… and during testing, someone dropped a Taylor Swift clip that almost crashed the site 😂🔥

Getting guests to post can be easy. Our new host guide lays out a simple rhythm: print the QR, prime a few friends, seed three photos, then a short kickoff. Try it at your next event: liveframe.app/blog/posts/2...

Today is Loving Day, the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that ended bans on interracial marriage in the U.S. It’s a quiet but profound reminder of how essential it is to protect love and inclusion as fundamental freedoms for everyone.

A flyer taped to a utility pole in Portland reads “The Love is Real Project: What does love look like to you?” It invites people to scan a QR code to share photos or messages throughout the month of June. There are cartoon cats on the bottom of the flyer—one with a heart-shaped mane, the other orange with a white chest. The flyer mentions that the project is powered by LiveFrame and began as part of the creators’ wedding. A crosswalk, bike lane, and traffic light intersection are visible in the background.

Built by introverts, for events we’d actually attend. LiveFrame lets you interact at events without the awkwardness just scan, share, and vanish like a legend. peerlist.io/sparkstonepd...

Thank you for having a design good enough I could steal @bsky.app #buildinpublic #liveframe

showing image upload area of liveframe.app it uses the alt text add button and information text below just like bluesky

same image as before, but the alt text button has a check now to show that it has alt text added

same image with a small "ALT" badge in the corner, obviously stolen from blueskys design

the fullscreen image of the post revealing the alt text "kitty going mlem" since the image has been of a kitty sitting on a coffee table with her tongue out going mlem.

figuring out how to handle recurring payments through stripe in golang has been pretty fun Look how clean this is #golang #pocketbase #stripe

A screenshot of Go code defining a function processRecurringPayments which uses a WaitGroup to manage two concurrent goroutines. Each goroutine calls processPayment with different intervals ('monthly' and 'annual'), and the function waits for both to complete before returning.

This is what chatgpt 4o spit out for this image

A tabby cat with white paws and a striped tail stands beneath a clear acrylic chessboard with transparent and frosted chess pieces. The cat's curious face peers up from beneath the board, and its tail curls above the surface, resembling one of the chess pieces. The background shows a cozy living room with warm lighting, a ceiling fan, and various decorations including framed artwork on the wall.

I made the mistake of listening to chatgpt today. Blew up the whole traefik setup accidentally and it took the whole day to get my cluster back online.... Decided to switch to cert-manager with nginx.... Traefik is way to complicated. Thanks for the advice @buwug.bsky.social #k3s #k8s #selfhost
