I've updated my @craftcms.com starter pack with more folks who work on or with Craft! If you're a developer in the community, or interested in the platform, it's worth a follow!
I've created a Craft CMS starter pack to make it easy for fellow developers to find people! This is built from a quick scan of my own follows, if I missed you please let me know!!

By default, Admin Bar Component scrolls horizontally when you have too many items on it, but with a little CSS you can stack the items inside the buttons area. The next update to Admin Bar Component will fix things like the logout button to make this look better.

Noodling around with another Admin Bar feature to save Craft CMS developers a few clicks. Enable the debug toolbar on the front end from the front end.

This week I threw this silly thing together to help my youngest learn to type and to practice spelling the handful of words his teacher sends home every week.

It started off as a tiny input and button thing, but I kept adding things to it. 🦖🦕🎢

My kids proceeded to ruin an 80s classic by singing it as:

"86-75309"

(Just take a second to think about how that would sound like).

🥃 Admin Bar for Craft CMS 5.7.1 is out with a quick update to how API requests are displayed. The progress bar now fits the theme you choose and flashes to green when a successful API request is made. It'll flash red on error (like when Admin Bar can't reach the CMS).

Yay or nay?

POV: you make an API call from your admin toolbar and the toolbar is a visual progress bar.

The attribute values for this can be:

Display progress in blue: 0-99

Success in green: 100

Failure in red: -1

After a bunch of tiny tweaks and design iterations I'm proud of my simple little toolbar component. I have some ideas for markup optimizations and a few new features, but I'm happy with the current design and how flexible it is to change it.

I'm really looking forward to Ghost of Yotei and I hope it's as awesome as Ghost of Tsushima. I've done everything I can to avoid spoilers in trailers and reviews, but the few I've come across sounds promising!

Okay, this was sort of an accidental thing that happened when moving through Live Photos on the Photos app of my iPhone. I'd caption this:

" you might be wondering how I got here.." 🐶

The last of my UniFi cameras is up! This one took a while to run Ethernet from the basement through the exterior of the house, plus I didn't want to permanently install it into the soffit because it might need to move in the future. Painted aluminum worked for a nice temporary mounting setup.

A sales milestone (super tiny one) for my Craft CMS plugins got me thinking and got me to spend some time on a feature I've been wanting to work on for a bit. More to come soon, but it's been a fun weekend of coding. 🎉

Okay `contrast-color()` is going to be very cool! Here's an example of how `color-mix()` can be used along with `contrast-color()` to set `color` and `background-color` properties from one color variable.
