In the upcoming Herb v0.8.0 release, the Herb Linter will support a new `--fix` option to autocorrect offenses.

This isn’t dependent on the Herb Formatter and uses the `printer` architecture, so the Linter can fix only the offenses without touching anything else in the document!

Screenshot of a terminal showing Herb Linter output to shocase the new --fix option.

Ah hah ok great! Looking forward to it. Thanks for all the work on Herb!

@marcoroth.dev sorry if missing the obvious, but is there any Herb powered tool yet that organises tailwind classes into a deterministic order? Checked rubygems and herb site but didn’t spot it

Had my eye on it for a while now (as solution to shared photo album between family but hosted from a NAS). Now that’s it’s reached maturity I think it’s likely the best solution out there. But I haven’t actually used it yet!

Stephen @diaconou.com · 10d

Ah ok thanks

Stephen @diaconou.com · 10d

Congrats!

Is gem.coop basically a deployment of the rubygems gem? Or a fork of it?

If not for the Ruby, come for the gelato!

Rubycon 2026, a new Italy based Ruby conference, will be held in Rimini on the 8th of May next year! Should be good, who wants to come?

Looking forward to seeing where this goes. I've been missing SimCity 2000!

Congrats!

Jealous

Stephen @diaconou.com · 27d

Wow this is crazy… big thanks to the RubyGems team. You are very much appreciated by the community

André Arko @indirect.io · 27d

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

Stephen @diaconou.com · Sep 16

So sad I couldn't make it this year!

Experimenting with using LM Studio + local model and custom MCP servers essentially wrapping around AppleScript , to automate chores on my computer, eg arrange files, tag notes, or provide a more natural language interface for apps such as Things
