Introducing @nordcraft.com — The Web Development Engine 🌲💻
We’ve come a long way since our launch in 2023, and a lot has happened since then.
However, “toddle” has never quite felt like the right name for a platform that powers amazing software companies all over the world.
So, starting today, we’re changing the name to Nordcraft.

Some thoughts about AI 🤖
I was very interested to read the 2024 DORA report, in particular the section about AI adoption.

I wrote up my thoughts on AI and productivity, and how whilst we feel like AI is making us more productive, the data tells a different story.

And no, I did not use AI to summarise the report data.
Does AI really make you more productive?
Most developers are using AI for speed and productivity. But at what cost? Could AI be sacrificing software delivery metrics such as efficiency and stability?

As I get to grips with @toddle.dev, I'm also finding and fixing bugs!

I found a bug on stream last week, and made a video about the fix for your viewing pleasure.

It's a short one and a quick fix, but highlights the importance of understanding event bubbling in the DOM.

What an amazing way to start the week 🤗 Welcome to the team @whitep4nth3r.com 💪
GOOD MORNING!

I am incredibly excited to announce that I have joined @toddle.dev as Head of Developer Education.

I wrote about what toddle is, why I think it's so important for the future of web dev, and most importantly, how it's a tool for building what you already know how to build.

Is this the next step in the evolution of front end dev?
Tired of endless admin in web dev? Visual frameworks could be the answer to getting rid of all the setup tasks that get in the way of building great websites.

We've heard the same question over and over again...

It keeps surfacing all the time...

"Hey toddle, what's the best toddle package?" 🤷‍♀️

Previously, we weren't able to answer that question.

Can a web app built in a visual web framework load faster than Google? 🤔

It surely can, and here is how 👇
Your framework merely adopted the speed...

toddle.dev was born in it, molded by it...

How can a web app built in a visual web framework possibly beat one of the World's fastest sites? One that only includes a top navigation and an search field?
