I just moved my #UpDoc docs from MKDocs and Material for MKDocs to @astro.build and Starlight.
It took 30 minutes to convert and looks amazing.
I'm really loving automatically generated Documentation published to @github.com pages in the source repo.

Wrapped up a focused little Design Tokens workflow and tooling project for a client this morning.

I think that's me for 2025.

I'm still on the look out for new client work for 2026.

Need a natty front-end developer? A Design Systems expert? A Design Tokens master? All three?

Let's chat

@Ric that sounds very cool!
I used to like the convenience of github pages.

Ok it’s not fully ready for release BUT big news for #selfhosted #forgejo. I’ve written a new plugin for #traefik that can serve static webpages direct from git! Like GitHub-pages but you can host yourself. It also supports SSL for custom domains (the bit I was battling with). Watch this page for more updates #opensource

Last minute announcement - thanks @deanleigh for the suggestion. Tomorrow is the launch of Umbraco 17 so why not have an #umbracoTees day!

Help spread the word. Tomorrow, wear your Umbraco swag (tshirt, hat, hoodie, socks) - post a photo on socials with the hashtag #umbracoTees day, an added bonus if you can tag me so I can find it :D

I am taking part in #Decembeard which involves the very difficult task of growing a beard.
OK it’s not running a marathon, but it is to raise money for a good cause, @bowelcanceruk.bsky.social
