When is @bsky.app going to get #polling?
You know it's bad when you start searching for possible domains to use for it and you find the perfect one and realize YOU ALREADY OWN IT!?!?!
I might be digging into to see what oEmbed support looks like to pull this off so it feels more integrated.

Decided to YOLO and let anyone join us on our @thepanel.bsky.social livestream, and the founder of @riversidefm.bsky.social (Nadav Keyson) joined @briancasel.com and I. ;)

Anyone going to be jamming on some stuff later (2 hours from now)?
Once my kids are down, I am going to explore some live stream possibilities, and maybe dip into some project stuff. If anyone wants to jump on a stream and jam together, let me know!

I think these guys got duped. Are you sure they’re not in town for a casting call for stand-ins for a “Da’ Bears” skit on SNL?
Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

Wow, I guess I missed this announcement from #figma config, but not having to bounce out to Illustrator to throw text on a path is HUGE!
I am going to be throwing so much text, on so many paths. 🙌

The new Web App support in iOS 26 is so good. I love being able to use the web version of @bsky.app on my iPad.
I just added @pkgstats.com to my iPhone and it’s feeling pretty good. So handy when I am looking to see if a package exists for ideas I have, or keep tabs on my packages.

It looks like maybe SEO is finally kicking in for the Chrome Web Store listing for the @opengraphs.com extension. Seems like it kicked up on the 29th, and dropped a bit, but is level over the past couple of days. Also, big in Poland!!

Who are your favourite people building cool stuff on the web, but who have a criminally low number of followers?

Not sure why Apple Podcasts has been such a battery hog for so long on my iPhone 13 mini (and even more so on iOS26).
Really considering dusting off an old project and building a podcasting app/service that works seamlessly across web and mobile, that offers tools for listeners to curate and share.

Taking care of some long overdue maintenance and procrastinated updates to the old personal site (ryanhefner.com) and podcast site (allplay.fm).
Finally got around to configuring IndieLogin support and adding webmention and pingback links.
Feels good, but tinkering to come! 🤙

Jeff Tweedy was like, I have a new album coming out, you should check it out. Releases 5-6 singles leading up to, with 12-13 inaccessible songs to peek interest.
And then, on release day, "SURPRISE MF’ers! Here’s a triple disc for you to chew on. ENJOY!!".

I have a new experiment I want to run. I’m calling it #tgiaf, which stands for “Thank God It's Accountability Friday”.
The idea is every Friday you post what you got done this week and what you plan to accomplish the next week, and tag it #tgiaf.
Let’s see how many people we can get to do this!

Honestly serious: JUST DON'T UPDATE PACKAGES RIGHT NOW.
It is unclear to me yet, but this is looking pretty wide spread. Better be safe than sorry, just go touch some grass.

Not gonna lie, I was really hoping for an iPhone Mini comeback, but I guess that ship has sailed.
Will just have to ride out this iPhone 13 Mini as long as I can.
