In case you missed last week's Symposium, here's my first talk!

It is about Developer Experience, a topic dear to my heart. I talk about the tools I've created and what's important for Solid DX overall. Let me know what you think! #sosy24

This slide from the SolidLab session says a lot about the Solid Ecosystem and what I struggle with the most as an app developer #sosy24

"use your privilege for common good" Love this closing line from @csarven's presentation! It's great to finally see him live :) #sosy24

If you're interested in the full recount of my experience going through the course, you can read it in my website: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/learning-css

I finally completed Josh W Comeau's course, and I have to say it's the most comprehensive course I've ever seen. It should be required material for anyone working with CSS (I'm not kidding).

And to top it off, it's super fun!

Reminder that next month I'll be attending the 2nd #SolidSymposium in Belgium. And I can now confirm that I'll be giving not one, but two talks! One about Developer Experience, and another one about Local-first CRDTs.

The registrations are open, I'm looking forward to meet you there :).

I just posted an update about the work I'm doing on my framework to make Solid Apps, Aerogel.

I recently started rebuilding my first Solid App, and I tell you how that's going and my typical development workflow. check it out!

In a couple of months, I'll be attending the 2nd Solid Symposium in Leuven, Belgium. I missed it last year, but I'm looking forward to attending this one! I'll also participate in a session on CRDTs (and maybe one on DX), it should be fun :D.

After years of fruitless pursuit, I finally got my hands on some #Solid stickers at #Fosdem!! Thanks to the @NGIZero folks :D.

If we ever meet and you want one, let me know; I'll be glad to share them :).

I realize I didn't post it before; here you can find some of the talks I'll be attending and what else I'll be doing at #fosdem https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/attending-fosdem-2024

I'll be attending FOSDEM in a couple of weeks, let me know if you're around in Brussels and want to meet :).

In this talk, @aveltens nails THE most important point of Solid. We don't need a killer app, we need an ecosystem of apps that work together!

Owning your data is cool and all, but these experiences show the true power of Solid.

One of the best things you can do to improve the stability of your apps is writing tests, and Cypress is the best tool for the job!

To help you with that, I just released a plugin that makes testing Solid Apps super easy. I hope you find it useful :).

I just finished migrating my first Solid App to the framework I'm working on, AerogelJS!

If you're curious to see how you build an app with the framework, check out the source code.

Is it easy to understand? Let me know what you think I could improve!

Which one is it Deezer? Does my choice really "not affect my experience", or do I have to trade my privacy to play music for free?

Seems to me it is the latter.

Today I published a blog post talking about what my ideal world of software looks like. I call it Skeuomorphic Software, check it out!
