Hello Laravel 12!

An SVG dragon I animated a couple of years ago for the 2021 WriteStuff competition. He wasn’t drawn by me, I just breathed life into him, he then breathed it our of me! 🔥 #svg #animation #webdevelopment

I love animating SVGs! Here’s a little preview of a private project I am working on. #svg #webanimation

INTELLIGENT SPEECH 2025 IS TWO WEEKS AWAY!! Get your tickets now! https://buff.ly/4dQY1Ya #ISOnline2025

If it works on shape-outside for things like this, which was very painful to build a few years ago, I will be happy!

I’ve been busy!

Yes, thank you @bsky.app 💖!

I love how all the timelines look in Firefox for the WriteStuff hero animation at 2025.writestuff.gg. One of the key advantages over using video is each element can have its own rhythm and duration so they don’t have to loop at the same rate. #css #webdev #cssanimation

This is true! I think Storyblok is the first CMS I actually enjoy using and that’s for both development and creating content! 💖

My favourite project to work on every year is always The WriteStuff for @guernseylitfest.bsky.social. A themed writing competition for local school children which, this year, invites them to tell the story of a journey. Handcrafted and animated #CSS powered by #Laravel and @storyblok.com!

I've released my 2023 Intelligent Speech talk on the Vavilov Institute. It's a story of extreme hardship, self-control and understanding that sometimes you need to give your life for something bigger than yourself. #podcast #history #historypodcast

Love Friends Family I'll take that.

Anime.js just crossed 50K stars on GitHub!! Thank you everyone! 🙌

Version 2.37 of #Laravel #Storyblok has been released. It fixes a bug with the editor bridge, makes links to pages within the editor editable and fixes a duplicate ID bug in replaced DOM content. #StoryblokAmbassadors

In #Storyblok I often call my link fields Link, but what if you want to check if the current URL matches the URL of the Link? This little Field class for my @laravelphp package does just that letting you easily highlight active menu items and more. #StoryblokAmbassadors

Custom field plugins in #storyblok are really powerful. We design bespoke icons in our projects, so I needed a way to manage them simply. I created a plugin to load SVGs from a Storyblok Asset folder and also set the stroke colour when it’s inserted into the page. #StoryblokAmbassadors

Thanks to the awesome Roberto at Storyblok my #Storyblok previews package for #laravel now deletes the old preview images in release 0.0.6. Who knew a single / could cause such issues! 😅

There might be a nicer way of dealing with this, but I have a project with very long email addresses that cause horizontal scrolling on mobile. Setting max-width based on the viewpoint lets me clip them.

Believe it or not, this is NOT a hoax!! Intelligent Speech Online: Deception (February 8th 2025) Tickets are available now at our website! Watch this space for exciting updates, keynote and speaker announcements, and more!

I’ve released a new version of my #Storyblok previews package for #Laravel It’s a big refactor with simplified configuration if your CSS classes match your component name, the ability to screenshot single components and set window size per component! Find out more here: github.com/RicLeP/larav...

Sometimes, when using fields or plugins in #Storyblok you might need to manipulate or add default content. In #Laravel Storyblok create an init() method on a Field Class matching the field’s name and set the content property. You can add other methods to use in Blade etc too #StoryblokAmbassadors

One thing I’d love to see on @bsky.app is simpler account switching rather than jumping into Settings -> Switch Account -> select account. A little selector somewhere, or even just a toggle to jump between the two most recent ones would be amazing. Then I can hop from here to @curiosityofpod.com!

Ok, the custom domains for handles on he made me need to buy a new domain as I didn’t want to use my other one, so I am now @riclep.dev !

I like the Bluesky starter packs, great way to quickly find use curated accounts to follow. Check out this one from @frontendfocus.bsky.social go.bsky.app/BwStos9

Love #Laravel? Already love #Storyblok, or after an amazing CMS? Then check out my package that integrations Laravel and Storyblok. github.com/RicLeP/larav...

Introduce yourself with four video games

I've been working on a new project!

Need to share #Storyblok content globally in your #Laravel application? Simple, use a view composer to insert it into views that need it. Here I pass the global notification bar to just the views that need to be aware for layout and content reasons. #StoryblokAmbassadors #php #webdev

I like that I can use my own domain on @bsky.app ! So you can find me @sirric.co.uk And my podcast @curiosityofpod.com So cool!

Hey, I made it here! I'm from Guernsey, I have a design, branding and web agency: uandus.co.uk I am creator of the Laravel Storyblok package. I podcast with my son over at @curiosityofpod.bsky.social That's me!
