Want to use a monorepo for Cloudflare Workers but not sure where to start?

Starting today, you can setup a monorepo with everything needed to build and deploy multiple Workers in 15 seconds:

npm create workers-monorepo@latest

Check it out here: www.npmjs.com/package/crea...

Cloudflare Images now has a Workers Binding, so of course I integrated it with my Stream Deck! jacobhands.com/blog/monitor...
Monitoring Twitch Streams with a Stream Deck and Cloudflare Workers
I wanted to see when my favorite Twitch creators went live from my Elgato Stream Deck, so I built it with Cloudflare Workers!

My Workers monorepo just hit 3k commits since starting it 14 months ago 🎉 I can't imagine going back to non-monorepos now

@arktype.io Is it possible to add a custom error message to a validation like in Zod? I found .configure({description}) but not seeing custom error messages in the docs

Something frustrating I found while updating to pnpm 10 is that `pnpm approve-builds` is a no-op on machines that previously built dependencies with pnpm 9. I had to clone my repo to a new machine to get a list of dependencies that require postinstall scripts 🙃

Anyone else getting "verified" Paypal emails in gmail that are clearly spam?

I've been using @jetkvm.bsky.social for a couple weeks for remote access to servers and these things are fantastic. I even set up secure remote access via a Raspberry Pi + Cloudflare Tunnel + Cloudflare Access so that I can access them anywhere. Would love to buy more! jetkvm.com

@tldraw.com tbh I don’t really care about all the AI stuff. I just want accounts on tldraw.com so I don’t have to deal with bookmarking my boards

Excited to try Astro 5 - especially the new responsive images experiment (hopefully I can make it work with Cloudflare Images)

I may or may not have spent the whole weekend designing railways in Factorio....

Thoughts on nx vs. Turborepo? I love Turborepo, but wondering if 60+ packages is starting to get to the scale that nx might be better

Factorio Space Age is so much fun and we haven’t even built a rocket yet

You would think I’d be used to daylight savings time changes by now, but it still hits so hard

Looking for a good project to build on Cloudflare Workflows - what have you built with it so far?

@nodecraft.com Hi! Creating a new Factorio server, and I got this modal saying I need to generate a map. Unfortunately, pressing OK does not seem to do anything. After clicking OK and clicking Start again, it fails to start again with the same error. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?

Factorio multiplayer with everyone streaming on Discord is so much fun 😍

It’s Factorio day!!!!
Er, I mean a day to be very focussed on work 😅

@deck.blue Loooove this app! One thing I'd love to see is the ability to speed up animations - they make the app feel a bit slugish
