Hey #drupal community, anyone interested in hiring me? I created this fake wiki using Drupal, doing everything from back-end programming to UX design. Imagine what I can do for your projects.

This SPA sure seems fast. I bet it's some decoupled thing serving JSON to a front-end.

Just kidding: this is a 100% server rendered HTML #drupal site with #js navigation layered on top along with some clever async precaching as you scroll and click around […]

Progressively enhancing #js navigation onto the public part of a #serverrendered #drupal site is a neat trick, but what if I told you that the RefreshLess module totally works in the admin areas too? Here I am navigating around on the Gin theme, changing site […]

RefreshLess was chosen as the #drupal module of the week on Talking Drupal 514!

https://talkingdrupal.com/514

Your #serverrendered #php can feel like an app with minimal theme changes, all without sacrificing crawlability or resiliency (if JS fails, etc.). It's currently implemented using […]

This is a 100% server-rendered #drupal site with all the usual Twig templates, CSS, and JS. Not that out of the ordinary, right? What if I told you there's only one full page load at the start and none thereafter? This is the magic of the RefreshLess module […]

So I gave in and signed up for a Bluesky account: https://bsky.app/profile/ambientimpact.com

I have zero intention of leaving the fediverse - this is mainly so that I can reply to posts on there since that's not yet supported on https://fed.brid.gy/

If you've wondered where I've been: I've […]

Alright, I hear you #drupal people saying, that's cool, but I bet that doesn't work in the admin area. Yep, it totally does:

Check out the RefreshLess module and help out if you want:

RefreshLess
RefreshLess layers JavaScript-based navigation on top of Drupal's existing server-rendered HTML to provide the kind of smooth, fast, and responsive experience users expect.

Hey #drupal community, want to see something cool? There are no full page loads in this video: all content is swapped out by JavaScript, yet this is 100% server-rendered HTML with every page loadable without JavaScript.

Despite how excellent the ships added lately have been, I inevitably go back to my Anaconda because I love it so much. It may handle like a tired elephant in supercruise and a drunken one in SCO, but the memories and voyages we've made are truly […]

Yes hello I would like to report a robbery. Someone's stolen all the cute and left it all right here.

PSA: if you don't want your Steam overlay being visible at all in #obs on #linux, turns out it's pretty easy to tell Vulkan to have it capture just the game (and optionally mangohud) but not the overlay. Here's #elitedangerous demonstrating that.

This is on […]

Sometimes his butt makes a cartoonish steam whistle fart when he starts to lay down a turd. Anyways, here's a super tasteful photo of my little trash goblin.

I love my Python Mk2, it's such a nice little murder boat in #elitedangerous. Currently, my "Starbuck" is outfitted for PvE with all fragment canons with high capacity engineering and the screening shell modification. How are my fellow CMDRs running her? #videogames #spaceships

Reworked the script for setting up the HUD mod with Bottles for all you fellow #elitedangerous players on #linux so that it hopefully works on the #SteamDeck now. If anyone has a Steam Deck, I'd love to hear if it works.
