Really happy @hanamirb.org 2.3 is out with some improvements I helped work on! including a `hanami run` command + resources routing DSL.
Always room for more in the tent, try it out and contribute back to help make things better though!

~4 hours to code this app up + get a release mechanism in place with update pushing / fetching and the first release published on the internet.
Need to code up the landing page for the app + download link... but if anyone wants to kick the tires on v0.1 let me know!

Thanks to @afomera for speaking up. We cannot tolerate hateful leaders or our community turns into that Nazi bar. Solidarity means supporting each other, no matter what we look like.

Stop Giving Harm a Microphone by Andrea Fomera "But still, it’s caused me to want to withdraw myself and disengage in the communities I found purpose and belonging in. This is a direct consequence of giving microphones and amplifying the behavior of people who post their “opposing views” online and engage in bad faith arguments." https://afomera.dev/posts/2025-10-25-stop-giving-harm-a-microphone

Friendly reminder: If the engineers at your company don't have access to the right keys / logs / observation tools, you can't blame them when the app is slow or down, when it takes a long time to get back to normal operation.

“i don’t know where you got the audacity but you should put it back” is gonna be my new go to phrase for a while, sorry not sorry.
it’s really messed up how RubyCentral refuses to accept the humans they’ve caused real harm to on this.

What comes through loud and clear from Shan is the lack of respect for open source authors. She actually says it’s none of my business why I was removed from rubygems. I don’t know where you got the audacity but you should put it back. youtu.be/nKpo68g9dEk?...

Saw this quote tweet today, For some of us, our lives and ability to exist _are_ those divisive political views mentioned.

Honestly some of the folks in the Rails / Ruby community make me very sad.
I just want to be me, in a safe community where people accept people for who they are. That is too much to ask for some in the community, who are constantly promoted despite their beliefs that I shouldn't exist.

I actually am enjoying @hanamirb.org quite a lot to rebuild my forked.sh project in.
It's taken time to get used to it, but I think the end result is going to be very nice!

good progress today, got authentication and some css stuff setup and mostly figured out. working through some other core setup pieces.
good times! it was a good decision to rewrite it

I've decided that I'm going to rebuild @forked.sh into Hanami.
Naturally things won't be easy, but it should provide a great learning ground for where Hanami falters and where improvements are needed.

the perpetual battle of what do I do with all my projects currently in Rails now that I'm writing Hanami apps.
Looking at forked.sh for example 😅
I had pretty ambitious plans of building a CLI, mobile apps and the platform itself. Mostly powered by Rails before...

it still wasn't Ruby Central's to give away ownership of.
it was the maintainers to give away.
Ruby Central could've forked it and continue on their own path and been fine. Woulda taken 30 seconds in GitHub and saved y'all so much time.

opened a timezone website to see what times across the world something was.
Prompted with a survey asking why I was there.
Gee your website does _one thing_, can't you take a guess?

@hanamirb.org provides the ability to reuse param validations/definitions across actions.
In each action class you can define `params` blocks, but you can also make those into reusable classes that can be shared (and tested!) if you have a common set of params that need to be used!
