  Two new system-update versions: 1.3.1 is the latest version, support for more tools and improvements in cleaning up space. #system-update #projects #linux

  Reading Paulo Andrade, last month, “ Using SwiftUI to Build a Mac-assed App in 2026”

  A serious cross-platform framework that unified the two should have happened long before SwiftUI. Instead, Apple left AppKit to fossilize and then tried to leapfrog the problem.

  I have no doubt that someone on this planet is working on their unifying framework layer, as it doesn’t seem waiting another eight years on Apple improving matters is helping.

  Lamb 0.10.0-rc2 is out: with webmentions, reply posts, WebSub, syntax highlighting, draft preview links, image paste, WebP conversion, a new default theme, one-command upgrades, Docker images, and faster page caching. It's a release candidate, so feedback is very welcome. #lamb #projects

  Added WebSub support to #Lamb today, allowing realtime feed updates, by pinging a hub. Go #Indieweb!

  Having operating system sources and a capable code assistant available is a powerful combination!

  I added a small elementaryOS patch for the terminal to open OSC 8 hyperlinks on ctrl-click, used by for example Claude Code. #elementaryos-patches #projects

  Updated my elementaryos-patches workflow. It now has a ep rebuild --all command which fetches the latest source, re-applies the patches, builds and installs in one go. #elementaryos-patches #projects

  After yesterday's release, I'm already working on the next version of #Lamb, and webmentions will feature heavily! #projects

  #til Wow, it turns out browsers really made me think the tabs are important. It feels as if my brain has been using them as a todo-list proxy, making me feel I get things done by closing tabs and working through them. After hiding tabs in the interface and relying on a todo list, my day seems more purposeful.

• Lamb 0.9.0

  I've just released a new version of Lamb, and it's in use on this very site! Setup your timezone and schedule your posts and they will appear in your timeline and feeds even with relative dates by using the created front-matter! More info on the scheduling page of the docs.

  Lamb has a brand new Notes theme you can pick through the settings by setting theme = 2026, but this reminds me to make it the new default for the next version. I think it's beautiful and aligns nicely with the simple low-friction values of the project.

  

  We also incorporated some best practices from the Micro.blog book, and all Lamb blogs now have JSON Feeds and Atom feeds have been optimised.

  

  I hope the friction free nature brings back (or instills) the passion for blogging, let me know how you find Lamb!
