I don't frequently release beta versions of my packages, but I would love some testing of django-render-block v0.10b1 if anyone uses it! It fixes a couple of major bugs (better exception handling and multi-extends templates). See #010b1-july-1-2024" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/clokep/django-…

I was invited to join the Matrix Spec Core Team -- the technical stewards of the Matrix protocol. patrick.cloke.us/posts/2024/02/…

Performance fixes in Synapse, a public release for Circles, and recovery keys in Element X. That, and more happened this week in Matrix! matrix.org/blog/2024/02/2…

One of the things I enjoyed improving on Synapse was the URL preview capability. I was curious how much it improved over the past several years so did some experiments: patrick.cloke.us/posts/2024/02/…

I published my research on Matrix's read receipts & how they impact notifications while putting together the MSCs for threads. Not sure if it is useful to others, but was encouraged to put it somewhere! patrick.cloke.us/posts/2023/01/…

Inside Matrix, the protocol that might finally make messaging apps interoperable tcrn.ch/3G8csrF by @psawers
