Sander van Dragt's Notes
-
-
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 --allcommand 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
createdfront-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!

If only delivery companies would deliver parcels to post offices, who then deliver all the parcels in one go once a day. Update: I guess that's a PO Box does #til.
