I think I finally got my feed generators in a good place. I moved the generators themselves back to Vercel, while running the data collection processes on other servers. It’s been a fun shift—I’m usually focused on front-end work, so this gave me a chance to dive into areas I don’t normally touch.

I almost have the pipeline for my feed generator fully working. Super close.

I’ve been doing a lot of work on my feed generator lately. I recently moved off Vercel to gain more control and am still working through some performance and caching improvements.

I keep trying to make Copilot work for me, but it’s so just slow… 😔

I’m not sure why I’ve never used Cursor agents until today. Overall, it’s not bad, but it did make some weird changes to my code that caused issues.

Haven’t posted here in a while, but I’m currently working on several small UX and speed improvements. My goal is to get this to a point where I feel comfortable removing the beta tag. Stay tuned!

I need to cleanup the homepage a bit. I’m probably going to create something similar to the suggested feeds section for these feeds.

I tried GitHub Copilot code reviews, and it was actually better than I expected. The code in general was pretty simple. It caught mostly small things, but I would consider the review a quality review.

Along with a handful of smaller UX changes, you'll now be able to view alt text on images. Also expanding support for links back to original posts that have been bridged.

Finally dug back into my feed generators. I launched a few feeds under @atexplore.social. I’m going to use these feeds on atexplore.social to surface content from around the social web.

Updating dependencies in a project that’s been ignoring tech debt is super painful. Prioritize your tech debt.

I’m going to circle back to atexplore.social very soon. There are still some lingering UX issues I need to clean up and some new features I want to ship. I’ve been more focused on improvements to my site lately.

🥁 Angular has survived multiple framework waves and is now coming into a new era... but so much happened in its 15+ year history! As we all know, the path has been windy.
Now there's a documentary about it! As always, Honeypot tells a great story:

I really need to dig back into my feed generator. I built a feed quickly a while ago, but got distracted with other projects. The feed isn’t working currently.
