Yesterday a new Barnacle started growing. Today, I have a chat interface where I can talk to the llm and have it create images from Google Gemini. Built using Nuxt and Laravel. Surprisingly easy to do agentic ai in PHP right now.

I added labels with animations to these git stats charts inspired by the @syntax.fm episode where they look at the Lando text hover effect that uses transition delays. Do you like it?

It's relatively simple but a lot of considerations went into this...

I added some git stats to the top of the dashboard in Barnacles. It pulls data from any project that you've committed to on your local machine. I really wanted to shy away from stat "cards" and I kind of did.

I can never remember my local dev logins for all my projects so I added an option to save them in Barnacles.
What's your strategy for remembering your dev credentials?

I finally added a download button to the Barnacles landing page. It's been available to download from the github releases page the whole time but this is makes it a lot easier.

Added a basic onboarding page. Previously I would just start scanning for projects as soon as the app started but now I give the user a little more control. Nothing too fancy but enough for now

I added the last major feature for the MVP of Barnacles. Utilities: small but useful tools for everyday development. Started with CSS color converter, Tailwind style color shades generator, and an exif viewer/eraser.
Next phase is stability and polish

I added a file explorer to projects in Barnacles. No need to open an IDE to quickly look through your project files 😁

I've made some updates to how you run a project and other one off commands from your packages.json or composer files. When you click start, it will read and open the URL that is found in your terminal output. Next I'll integrate this with the CLI tool. #webdev #buildinpublic #vue #barnacles

I started building a CLI companion for Barnacles so you can interact with your dev projects right from the command line. Still a WIP but there are some actions like copy your project's path, open your project in finder, etc

I gave in to Apple and signed Barnacles with a proper certificate so that you can actually open the app after you download it. If it's not signed it gets quarantined and shows you the following dialog 🤦

I updated the scanning internals of Barnacles. It now uses web sockets to show projects as we discover them. A toast message appears everywhere while the scanning is happening. #buildinpublic #webdev
