BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.

It was a pleasure working with their talented team and finding out ways to help tell this story.

Even if this felt like a good future to me (it doesn’t), I don’t think I trust that team to deliver and continue without having their heads turned by a new thing a year later.

A collage of the Mutual team at their Winter meet up 2024

This weekend (most of) the Mutual team met up in London for our winter meetup. We had a great time at Gravity Max with lots of food, slushies, making fools of ourselves on the interactive floor, arcade games, and minigolf. #remote #agency #culture

Is there anything more satisfying than emptying the tank after shampooing a carpet? Maybe jet-washing the patio. But they're both top-tier-satisfaction.

How to save iMessage conversations as a PDF | AppleInsider There are several reasons why somebody might want a PDF version of an iMessage history, but making one on your own isn't entirely straightforward. Here's what you need to know.

Is this useful? It looks to be a Mac setting appleinsider.com/inside/imess...

That seems very clear to me

It does require a certain way of thinking, for sure.

One thing I like is the ability to change the deployment script. So you can make it run `php craft up` on deploy, and have it run any migrations and project config changes automatically, which is elegant.

Others probably let you do the same!

Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧡

Laravel Forge is great for managing DO droplets and setting Craft up on them. Don’t let the Laravel name fool you, it isn’t exclusive to Laravel powered apps πŸ‘

Upgraded a site to #tailwind 4 beta (not prod) and the upgrade script made it pretty effortless. So far, so good. My only hesitation is if the CSS config approach might have non-obvious limitations down the road.

Got a PC monitor on Black Friday to play #ps5 and it turns out you can play a lot better when you can actually see the game!

I’ve really enjoyed using it so far. It seems really elegant and got out of the way. Paring it with Bun seems especially speedy.

Migrating from WordPress | Craft CMS Migrating from WordPress to Craft CMS just got a whole lot easier, with the help of a new CLI command.

They also have a Wordpress content migration tool craftcms.com/blog/migrati...

#craftcms is a great way to go. An active community, rich plugins (but less reliance on them) and a far more modern codebase. It’s commercial, but in our experience the cost of the license was less in hourly rate than fighting silly issues with WP and similar.

Spending hours with ChatGPT can save you minutes of reading the documentation.

I realise I didn’t explain β€œwhy?” About running it in a deployment script.

1. It reduces the risk of human error of forgetting to apply changes

2. Running it in script is less likely to time out than running it through apache or nginx which might have higher execution timeouts

Ideally you’d not use those and have β€œphp craft project-config/apply” in your deployment scripts. But generally β€œapply changes” is what you want.

CC @craftcms.com as I’m sure they’re interested in this for optimisation.

Another house viewing cancelled.

The housing market seems so weak at the moment and people don’t seem to be serious.

The dream of moving before the wean arrives is pretty much over now 😬

To add to this, consider staging/production to be sacred environments where CMS setup is locked. A golden rule with Craft is to only tweak CMS in dev environment. If you work in a team then little and often works best to make merges nicer.

Does every website really need to use React just to show some static data? @jason.energy thinks we've made web development unnecessarily complex.
