It's been a long time in the making, but I finally have a visual update for my upcoming #Solid app! It's still work in progress, and I don't expect to release it at least until the beginning of next year, but it's starting to show its real form :)

Starting in an hour!

Make sure to come if you want to learn how to make #Solid, @remotestorage or @fission apps

Do you want to make apps using the #Solid protocol, but don't know where to start? This Wednesday I'm going to present a Hello World I've been working on, that just uses plain JavaScript and HTML (no frameworks!).

In January I'll be traveling abroad for the first time in 2 years, and what better occasion than to attend #LaraconEU in Amsterdam. I don't know how it took me this long to attend a Laravel conference, but it's finally going to happen. I'm super excited to meet my fellow artisans!

Some months ago I uninstalled WhatsApp from my phone, and it's been by far the most difficult technology to stop using... Only yesterday I was changing my internet provider, and they required me to have a WhatsApp account to confirm the appointment with the technician.

One of the reasons why I am working with Solid is that it embraces interoperability as one of its core values. But there is a lot of nuance about what that looks like in practice. In this blog post, I share my thoughts on the topic. https://noeldemartin.com/blog/interoperable-serendipity

I've just released an alpha version of an app I'm working on. It's not production-ready, but I'd appreciate it if you give me some feedback: https://forum.solidproject.org/t/request-for-comments-crdtish-approach-to-solid/4211/14

Today makes 10 years since I started my journey as a developer! Here's what it's been like and what I've learned. https://noeldemartin.com/blog/10-years-as-a-software-developer

Laravel turned 10 years old today!

I can honestly say that Laravel is the single piece of software that has inspired me the most in my programming career. I can't imagine my life as a developer without Laravel, thank you Taylor and the rest of the awesome Laravel community. Here's to another 10 years 🍻.

And hey! At least we got to see Casca back.

RIP Kentaro Miura.

Even though he left us too soon, the Golden Age arc will always be one my favorite in manga. We won't get the redemption, but in a way it's fitting.

Also, I just found out that you can convert that post to a PDF using your browser's built-in functionality and it looks pretty good. I had to do some tweaks to make it work, but it was almost effortless.

A great example of technology working as it should :).
