gather.town/ - it is a virtual office webapp and it is such a fun way to work in a remote team.
You have a pixel art office that you walk around and objects you can interact with.
You have rooms and spaces that when you enter them you can interact with other people in that space and you automatically get connected via a video call within the application.
You can even decorate your desk, although it can lead to "escalation" as happened with us....
Things escalated quickly!
I "came into the office" yesterday and people had started decorating their desks!
I am a competitive so and so, I had to make my desk awesome and create a custom desktop background with the daily.dev logo on!
I woke up this morning and the design team fired back with an amazing zen garden space!
But as I said, I am competitive so....
I hate to think what I will wake up to tomorrow π€£
If you work in a remote team, it is a great way to get that "office feeling" while working remotely!
Oh god, that looks like the perfect way to kill productivity in just the right ways. I might toy with that a bit!
Haha, true!
To be fair, it took maybe 15 minutes to design my desk and maybe 30 minutes to create a custom overlay from an image.
I can imagine that you could definitely spend hours on building a space, but overall it is a really good way of running a remote team and quite efficient with the jumping into meetings by simply "walking" a few steps rather than finding email invites, checking your camera settings etc!
Hope you have fun with it and let me know if you end up using it for anything (fun or professional!)
Lol reminds me a little bit of ... Microsoft Bob! but I expect it's better than that ;)
OK so now I have to go look up Microsoft Bob! π€£
There you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob
Is it a carbon copy/spitting image, or not?
Brilliant! It is funny how things come full circle isn't it!
That's what I thought haha
Oh wow, this looks like the Pokemon Emerald game I used to play long ago on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance! I spent countless hours on it. π
That was how I described it to my fiancΓ©, then she said she never played Pokemon...so it was a terrible explanation π€£
That's gorgeous!
I love the art style they picked for the components!
Lol, this is epic!
I've started using Remix β a breath of fresh air in web development.
Holy smokes! This thing looks fun.
I've started using Obsidian to take notes and write on the go. I even wrote a plugin for it. I'm not a power user by any means, but having Markdown files that sync to all my devices without the friction of visiting a website and logging in is proving to be a game changer.
Obsidian is pretty awesome; I've been using it to keep the occasional notes but also to write my blog posts (which I actually built an SSG for just last week)
I also started using it for work when I have to find my way into a new project, but for obvious reasons I can't share any of those notes here π
i have started to learn tailwind css :
Here is the sample site i have done so far.

Yo bruv! Great work. Looks beautiful!
thanx a lot
Nice! Are you doing a paid course or just looking the official documentation?
@jonatandb thanks !
i just go with official documentation and when i stuck to understand the documentation, i tried random youtube video on demand.
Awesome! I'm thinking to learn it too.
Good job, lots of luck! πͺπ»π
surely ! its amazing.
I have a plan to upload more things based on tailwind.

Great, so I will check your Github profile again when I start to learn it π
I started my bullet journal. Though I am still figuring out my preferred layout, it has definitely helped me with keeping track of my daily and weekly tasks. Libraries are also now my favorite place to study and get work done. Programming in a quiet place is so relaxing especially with some instrumental music playing. I'm starting to use Material Design and learn TypeScript as well! Always studying, always learning :D
Been bullet journaling for a while. Love it very much. It makes me more productive and more connected (if that's the right word) with myself.
Yeah! It really helps me organize my thoughts and see my progress (or even my lack of) throughout the weeks to help me define the areas I can improve on in the future
I've been working on a minimalistic bullet journaling app since a while, maybe you guys wanna check it out: journalisticapp.com
I had put the concept on my project list. How beautiful
Thanks! If you have any feedback I'd love to hear it!
medusajs to create an e-commerce platform, for which I ended up creating a custom Framework/wrapper around called medusa-extender ππ
I started using an iPad, with the following apps:
Materialize! It is a streaming database that takes data coming from different sources like Kafka, PostgreSQL, S3 buckets, and more and allows users to write views that aggregate/materialize that data and let you query those views using pure SQL with very low latency.
Here is a quick introduction video:
Looks great, do you mind sharing the condition to use this database ? Do you recommend it ?
Yes I strongly recommend it.
To start experimenting with it, you can run it directly on your laptop as described here:
materialize.com/docs/get-started/
Or you could sign up for a free cloud account here:
materialize.com/materialize-cloud-...
Thank you friend, sorry for the late reply
No problem at all! Hope you find it useful!
Just want to ask for your opinion, does it have the same purpose as like InfluxDB or TimeScaleDB ?
I've just started learning the Tailwind Alpine Livewire Laravel (TALL) stack to build my next SaaS, CareNote. I've also been playing around with Meilisearch and Soketi, which are really cool tech.
Hello there, just want to ask if there is any difference between current websocket and soketi? I'm new in this area would like some clarification if possible. Thanks!!
soketi is a websocket server just like pusher. soketi.app is a drop-in replacement for pusher. pusher costs $49/month vs a digital ocean droplet for $5, which is plenty fast to soketi.
Is it the same as socket.io/ ?
Yes, socket.io is built on top of the websocket protocols. soketi.app is a self-hosted, open-source websockets server.
Dbux - a fully visual/interactive debugger for JavaScript. A lot less guessing, much more interactive and less frustrating investigation experience.
If you want a personal tour (if you are interested at all), let me know.

ADHD Medication, started 2 weeks ago, i just can say its been a life changer and saver
I started last year after being undiagnosed for 20 years, and it has been a life changer for me too.
Might be jumping the gun here as I haven't really built anything with it, but I plan to soon and I think it's a cool tool worth mentioning β Navattic.
The site describes it as such:
And that's spot on! I'd love to use it to create walkthroughs for how to do some things right here on DEV!
Tealfeed, "a global community of knowledge seekers who want to share their knowledge and learn from the experiences of others."
I belong to a few of these. Someone saw what I was writing on dev.to and invited me to write for tealfeed. I'm an old man with "opinions". Let's see how long I survive.
