Been working on a new #umbraco package, currently targeting Umbraco V13, but once it launches would love some community help to re-do the back office components for v14+. I "think" the v14 version might be easier to do as the new backoffice has way more extension points. Target Launch is first week of October so could be a great Hacktober contribution for someone. #umbraco #packagedevelopment #community #bellissima

Ella Kaye - An Advent of Code website, website template and package

I made project/website to work through then share my Advent of Code solutions, with R functions to ease the process, and I was so pleased with it that I made them into a template and package so others can use them too!

For anyone publishing packages here's the guide to do so:
https://pulsar-edit.dev/docs/launch-manual/sections/core-hacking/#publishing

It's recommended to go to gh and set up a PAT. Then add it on:
https://web.pulsar-edit.dev
(the front-end for our backend at the moment) then follow the steps on the link above.
