@joelmoss This is something I’ve wanted for years now. I thought about creating an NPM service that proxied to RubyGems to pull assets from packaged gems but it went the way of many random ideas and we just package both now. How are you doing it?

What if... You could just `npm install @rubygems/mygem` and it would install any #ruby gem as an NPM dependency (assuming that gem has JS/CSS assets) 😎

These features are now live and they work well. Guess I'll be shutting my service down seeing as Twitch now have basically the same features 😔 Took them long enough to add them 😛

Why on earth would we need that?

I just downloaded the disk image to boot the installer. Could updates not be included in the latest image provided by Microsoft? #windows

I guess I now need to find people to follow there!

I don’t really do much on X these days so you’ll find me on BlueSky… bsky.app/profile/adam.ac

Brilliant work by the @krystal_labs team to get this huge project shipped. Parts of this design started their life over 2 years ago and it’s great to see everything now live. If you haven’t tried @katapult yet, get £100 for free and let me know what you think.

@deanpcmad Here’s a few screenshots though…

@adamcooke Any more updates? 👀

Just a quick demo of what I've been working on with creating and managing environments in Katapps. The UI here is powered by Tailwind, Stimulus ,Turbo Frames and Streams. 📼👇Video in post below #buildinpublic

@deanpcmad I’ve got lots done - I must make time for another video very soon - lots to show off and talk about.

@deanpcmad I don’t use a remote server any more. It’s all local. Sounds like another video suggestion to me 😂

@adamcooke Using Kubernetes I guess? I'm also interested in your local dev environment. Do you still use a remote server with the VSCode SSH plugin? Just curious as you're running it behind SSL?

I'm going to try publishing a new video in my app building series every Friday and here's the first... A quick intro to how I'm using service classes in the application. See video link in the first post. Let me know what is/isn't useful! #buildinpublic

@deanpcmad Historically we have used MariaDB (rather than MySQL itself) but I’m using Postgres here. Interestingly, Viaduct is the only other time we’ve used Postgres. Sounds like a video on why I made that choice here might be in order.

@adamcooke Excited for this. Just spotted Postgres in your Gemfile. No longer using MySQL?

I'm about to embark on a new project at work building an app hosting platform. I'm going to be making videos about progress, the code, technical decisions and more. Watch the first video in the post below! Do follow along. #buildinpublic #rails #ruby

@JamieFDHurst Come and give katapult.io a try ☺️ 💼🪤

@deanpcmad I miss the days when domains were cheaper 🤯

@adamcooke 😆 same

I really should stop buying domains that I’ll probably never use. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a number I can call? 🤔🚜
