Or if they aren’t in the same physical location?

That’s part of the problem - what if I don’t have Apple devices? Or can’t be signed in on the same iCloud account on both?

Sending files between my phone and laptop was bit of a pain. So I built a little web app that lets me just yeet text/urls/files etc between them.

Would this be useful for anyone else?

Oh, yknow, just vibe coding a full-stack-typed #React SPA with #AshFramework, #ElixirLang, #Phoenix using #Tidewave. No biggie.

One command now gets you a React SPA with full-stack types, backed by #AshFramework, #Phoenix, and #ElixirLang 🀯

Install and visit localhost:4000/ash-typescript for a handy guide 😎

Finally, a bridge to the reliability + elegance of Elixir for our React-loving friends!

Something like CyberBrick would be awesome - a set of controllers and a handful of hardware parts that could be make into all sorts of different things. makerworld.com/en/cyberbrick

What if you had *full stack types* for SPAs built with tech like #React, #Inertia, #Vue, #Svelte... but all of the power #AshFramework and #ElixirLang on the backend? Well, you can now.πŸ˜‰ hexdocs.pm/ash_typescri...

Noora for Phoenix apps keeps getting better and better. You can make your #Elixir apps look great with a design system that builds on LiveView and vanilla CSS

Very exciting. I’ve found that LLMs seem to really struggle with LVN markup πŸ˜… maybe I’m just promoting them wrong/not giving enough context, but I pretty much have to write it all by hand.

Bought it this week - looking forward to reading it.

What an incredible achievement for you and @sevensea.cat - well done πŸ‘πŸ»

This is looking amazing. Would love to test on TestFlight when available πŸ™πŸ»

Emotionally preparing myself for the #Shipaton...

What are folks building for #shipaton? Keen to see what y'all are up to!

Why did the React Native developer cross the road?
To prove they could run on both sides!

PMF is when:
βœ… Customers love it
βœ… Users pay for it
βœ… Your mum says β€œThat's nice, dear.”

Ready Freddy is pretty much built...at least far-enough to get some early testers.

Next job: find users!

How do I do that? πŸ˜…
