iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Having built developer tools for half my career (literally!), I decided to build something “useless” this time. Today I’m announcing RubyLens, a gem that turns your Ruby codebase into a galaxy, as either a page or a video! Here’s an example using Discourse：

cctop now supports herdr.dev too thanks to @tnagatomi.okweird.net’s contribution! If you need a lightweight, mult-harness session tracking & navigation tool, give cctop.app a try :-)

RDoc 8.0.0 is out now. This is the biggest RDoc release in years, and it brings together a lot of the Ruby documentation work I talked about at RubyKaigi. Also, RDoc now has a logo!

After weeks of work, Ruby’s master documentation now displays rbs signatures! We will release this feature in RDoc 8.0 soon as well. So any projects using rbs (inline or .rbs files) can benefit from it too. Check it on docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master

The Ruby Developer Experience team at Shopify has just launched Rubydex, a building block for indexing and (semantically) querying your Ruby codebases. @vinistock.bsky.social has a write up explaining what it is and how it works here: railsatscale.com/2026-05-12-o...

Really exciting to see Herb being adopted at GitHub! 🌿 Over the past months, the GitHub team has been running Herb across one of the largest Rails codebases out there where Herb helped uncover real issues missed by existing tooling while also providing invaluable feedback. 🙌

Earlier I shared my open source career experience with the Ruby Taiwan community. Now there's an English version. - I don't have a CS degree, never studied abroad, and English isn't my first language - how I picked which projects to contribute to - what I did beyond writing code

RDoc server mode with live reload is almost ready for ruby/ruby. Currently `make html` takes 30-60s and you have to rerun it after every change. With `make html-server`, you get instant live reload. (Just found a bug with page links, but it's getting there) Here is a demo:

First Ruby LSP beta got released with partial migration to Rubydex 👀 github.com/Shopify/ruby... Indexing our Rails application (+ dependencies) currently takes 12s with Ruby LSP's internal indexer. Rubydex does it in 2s 💯 And I think it's even doing more work.

I used Claude Code to build a tool for managing CC sessions. cctop sits in macOS menubar and shows real-time status of every session: idle, working, waiting for input, or waiting for permission. You can then one click jumping to the right VS Code/Cursor window. Link 👇

Stan Lo @st0012.dev · 11/02/2026

Claude Code’s agents team is far more powerful than I expected. But it also requires an overhaul on existing CC skills AND some new skills to fully utilize.

I built a Claude Code plugin that teaches it how to work with Ruby - picks the right version manager, reads the right docs, connects to Ruby LSP. I think we will eventually have community maintained bridges between AI agents and the language ecosystem.

RDoc has always supported Markdown as a markup language. But its support was buggy and lacks documentation. After a year of addressing various related issues, I was able to rewrite a doc for it. I think we'll soon be able to migrate from RDoc to Markdown. ruby.github.io/rdoc/doc/mar...
