Datatype is a new OpenType font that allows you to create charts based on text expressions.

Unlike Chartwell, it is a variable font. It (currently) offers three chart types and handles pie charts slightly differently than Chartwell. I think it’s an interesting approach.

Datatype is open source under the SIL Open Font License. Designed by Frank Tisellano.

This is a good short-form video series about how LLMs technically work, I think a good thing to watch whatever your stance on them is or isn't

🚀Today, EXT:visual_editor for #TYPO3 has been released!

Matthias, Simon, Oli and a few others worked meticilously on this great gift: Managing content in your frontend's view!

This is made possible with new semantic content rendering, new fluid mechanisms, Record&Schema API working hand-in-hand. It all "just works" and I love it.

What a great future combined with v14's improved backend. #t3kudos

Attended #TYPO3 UserGroup and got introduced to the #WAF written in #PHP for e.g. shared hosting applications.

This can be used for any PHP Project, thanks to PSR-15: github.com/flowd/phirewall

I've no information about the ecosystem of WAF for PHP. Maybe this is also interesting for none TYPO3 projects, e.g. #Laravel, #Symfony, etc.

The TYPO3 integration adds a TYPO3 backend module to maintain rules on the fly: github.com/flowd/typo3-firewal…

Thanks to Sascha Egerer for building this. Thanks to TYPO3 Association and Members for financing the initial development.

Hierarchies should be trees and not loops.
