That's great about Microslop making sure to prove the exact opposite.

I have several ideas in mind. My life has changed a lot for the better lately too, it would be interesting to be able to recount that :) And yes, I have a huge rant about markdown in a draft blog post too01 Apr 2026 06:43 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mig3nrgzvk2dhttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3mheqnbjra22oI must admit that the only downside to using Elixir and Phoenix with tailwind is that any other stack feels awful to work with afterward. It's a shame that getting an Elixir job is almost impossible, like finding a needle in a haystack, hah. I'm out of ideas for projects, I'm open to suggestions :)19 Mar 2026 00:28 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mheqnbjra22ohttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3mblekuf35k2nI don't usually talk about politics, but I can't help but rant—it's unbelievable how many people are complaining about what happened in my country last night and telling Venezuelans that we are wrong about our own situation. Heck I've lived under socialism my whole life and I'm kinda happy now sybau04 Jan 2026 07:10 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mblekuf35k2nhttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3mbcvjk4rz227Well, there has been progress with Notarium, but I've been dawdling with Graveyard Keeper lately. Anyway, the repository to the project is https://codeberg.org/amartin/notarium and any contribution is welcome, especially feedback! The database should all be ready now; all that's left is to do the front-end!31 Dec 2025 22:19 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbcvjk4rz227https://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3maa4q6m2c222I might be cooking something for #norg yet again because why not? It's also my perfect excuse to give the Elixir-Rust interoperability with the rustler library a try. Development can be slow until I'm on vacation, but I'm overall happy with the current progress (just the front page for now lmao)18 Dec 2025 02:25 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3maa4q6m2c222https://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3ma2qryhqvs2lSmall update: Luanox v0.2 has been released (2 weeks ago). Since we didn't announce it anywhere, I think it's still worth it mentioning. This release contains lots of bug fixes, a few features to improve the overall UI/UX and a small security patch. There's more to come! https://github.com/lumen-oss/luanox/releases/tag/v0.2.015 Dec 2025 23:08 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma2qryhqvs2lhttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3ma2lcrhjpk2nI think it's about time I posted something again. In October I got a permanent job again; the process was very quick and straightforward. Life has been rather busy since then, but things are going well and I'm slowly getting back to my open-source projects so expect a few updates this month!

The performance difference is huge, and the processor no longer overheats! It was very satisfying to see how everything worked almost OOTB and with almost no tweaking compared to other distros and I reused nearly all of my desktop Nix flake :)24 Sep 2025 04:40 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzkmmydqy22shttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3lyin6ao4lc2fDesigning for mobile-first in frontend development is fun... Until you come across mobile devices that for some reason have a viewport width less than 365 pixels. In some cases, they completely break CSS and you have to deal with edge cases. Why don't companies make phones with a viewport standard?10 Sep 2025 16:19 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyin6ao4lc2fhttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3lxpy3ak43s2hSome Koa updates: There's already a runtime built for the Janet core. The best thing about it? It's bootstrapped directly in the Koa binary and stored in the `~/.local/share` of the user running the editor by default. Want to edit the entire runtime? Go ahead, Koa won't complain about it! :) (1/2)31 Aug 2025 20:57 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxpy3ak43s2hhttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3lxntkjofy22vI've been making an experimental TUI code editor with Zig and Janet as the scripting language. The idea of the editor is simple, Zig serves as the core for UI and bootstrapping for Janet, and everything else happens in the scripting side. It promises an interesting new approach to code editors (1/3)31 Aug 2025 00:31 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxntkjofy22vhttps://blacksky.community/profile/amartin.beer/post/3lwwqgx6pn22xI have finally started my formal migration to Codeberg after around 3 years of having an account there and not using it. I must admit, the process to get access to their CI/CD system with Woodpecker has been easy and fast. I am very grateful to the maintainers for their responsiveness :)21 Aug 2025 20:04 +0000at://did:plc:bkkab4c33l362u4uhatwqkjl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwwqgx6pn22x
