We're pleased to announce our first integration with third party services with our first integration being shortcut.com so you can have Test Track auto create stories when tests are marked as failed and move them to a new state when passed.

New setup, gone from 2x 22" monitors, 1x 34" ultrawide as a bit of an experiment.
Are you a 1x or 2x or more monitor set up kind of person?

I keep getting these nuisance calls thankfully apple call screen stops the phone ringing but keeps triggering the call screening notification but can't transcribe as initially just ring tone is played, sometimes you might get someone in a busy call centre location saying hello...

My experiment with trying an ultrawide monitor isn't going to plan. Bought one monitor, broken on arrival. Found a new monitor to buy when the refund comes through which it did today, monitor I was going to buy shot up in price ☹️

I've been experimenting with AI tools a bit (OpenCode) and MCP. I can see this being useful, I also tried vibe coding a desktop app (a docker desktop replacement that can edit env var and recreate) but vibe coding is so boring compared to actual coding or is that just me

I thought I’d try experimenting with a single ultrawide monitor instead of 2 22” inch. Found 1 reasonable price, waited over a week to arrive, pulled desk apart put new screen found backlight was broken 😩

Although most apps use prisma for an ORM for web apps, sometimes I have C# apps talking to the same DB for background tasks and creating the EF model is slow manual process, so I made a little tool to convert from Prisma schema to C# EF model. Planning to make OSS

Successfully managed to migrate a couple of projects including Test Track to use Turbopack. So much faster, was kind of painful navigating between pages before.

I don’t get why I’m seeing so many people saying they are leaving next and going to tanstack.
Yes next had a vulnerability so did react. People aren’t moving away from react so why just next. Tanstack isn’t immune from having CVEs published against it in the future.
Am I missing something

Added activity stream when viewing a support ticket for Solve Flow and added a notification system of the activity stream as well. Think I should be ready to start doing the issue tracking now

Been migrating Test Track to use better auth, don’t know why I thought it was going to be quick, taking a lot longer than I expected. Not the fault of better auth though.

If the AWS outage was specific to US-East-1, why did some NHS and gov[.]uk sites go down, surely they are not hosted in the US, they should be in the UK, at the very least be in Europe.

Found Postmark, giving that a try and seems pretty good so far.
Any recommendations for alternatives to sendgrid. Need email importing as well as sending, I've used mailgun in the past as well, so any other options - cheaper the better

Is anyone else having an issue with MacOS Tahoe where it randomly keeps enabling a location based focus mode, even though I am not in that location? Its only started doing it since my Mac was updated, never did it when the iPhone was updated to iOS26

Successfully migrated from next auth/auth js to better auth on a new project I am working on, need to do it for Test Track at some point but that's going to be a lot more complex
