Just playing around vibe coding atm, but would there be any appetite for an UMB.FYI dashboard folks could use as their browser default page featuring key Umbraco info?

The 100th issue of UMB.FYI is coming next month! πŸŽ‰

I’ve always avoided tracking clicks, so I don’t know what kind of impact it’s had β€” but maybe you do?

If you saw a boost after being featured, I’d love to hear about it. Tag me or use #UmbfyiEffect to share. πŸ’™

Well, that’s it! CODECABIN applications are now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied for #CODECABIN25 πŸ’œ

As always, we now have really tough decisions to make! 😭 We’ll let all applicants know if they’ve been selected, or not, next week. πŸ€πŸ€ž

Hmm, that's interesting. Looks like posting UMB.FYI to bluesky messed up a little today. Looks like the tag facets didn't quite lineup. Not entirely sure why πŸ€”

Codecabin and Codegarden: Both Peak Umbraco, Just Very Different Peaks! - DEV Community A few weeks ago I found myself on the stage at Codegarden with my fellow podcast host Emma Burstow,...

Name an Umbraco event that starts with the letters β€œCode”, and leaves folks feeling inspired, informed and enthused for doing more in our friendly community? The answer could be β€œCodegarden” or β€œCodecabin”! Read my comparison of the two dev.to/lottepitcher... (only a few days to apply for CC25!)

Speaking at CG this year was powerful for me.

I shared part of my neurodivergent journey, but checkout my latest blog post "ND & Me: Running in Emulation" for more and also to sign up for updates on a possible virtual ND Support group.

Thanks to all at #Umbraco #MVPSummit and #Codegarden who attended my ND workplace talk!

It was the first time publicly sharing my story after my diagnosis last year and I was super nervous but you all made it feel safe.

This community is truly #Umbazing πŸ™

But I would like to get to a stage where the prompt has been honed so that yea, I can just ignore red items.

I guess it depends if I agree. It might just act as an indicator to improve the prompt. But I at least have something giving me an idea without having to read everything.

After dealing with a growing influx of SEO filler articles submitted to UMB.FYI I decided to add to my property editor that summarises links using AI to also score content for value, depth and impact. At the click of a button I get a subtle traffic light visual of it’s a quality. #umbraco

Niiiice! I would REALLY like to see that. I definitely feel I’m not maximising its potential. As always, it’s finding the time to invest and knowing what you can do. β€œAnything you can think of” is a bit too vague so a real word example would be awesome. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I’ve made a couple of small ones for my own needs which have been cool but have also made a bit of progress on an Umbraco Commerce one. Primarily for cart management but could be good for store management too.

Very interesting. Will have to give RooCode a try. I mostly use ChatGPT but have been playing with Claude recently (mainly to play with MCPs). Hard to decide which to stick with.
