  1. Rather than spam Twitter i'm going to "live blog" me making a small web app on Netlify for the first time. Feedback welcome! mikestreety.co.uk/blog/live-blog-getting-a-slack-helper-running-with-netlify

      I'm sure it's riddled with typos, but nearly an hour later and I have my status updating... mikestreety.co.uk/blog/live-blog-getting-a-slack-helper-running-with-netlify

        Stopping for the night, all the code can be found here, with how far I got in the blog post above: gitlab.com/mikestreety/sitrep/-/blob/master/functions/sitrep/sitrep.js If anyone knows how I can use process.env locally with netlify dev I would appreciate some pointers!

          So I dug out a raspberry pi and touch phat from my stores and hooked it up to the API I made. Means I can quickly change my slack status using hardware on my desk. I know this is hot stuff but I'm already married. Sorry! 🤓
          oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

          While I was writing the To do items at the end, I "quickly" deployed. Overall impressed with how quickly I could get set up and deployed. Once you get used to the nuances of the platform (files/commands) then getting up and running is impressively easy.

            Not sure I would ever 100% switch, but will certainly lean on Netlify for quick side-projects and proof of concepts!
