I'd like to share my first Framer tutorial, that demonstrates how to create a sticky nav & scroll sections, a great starting point for a one-page website (including free file remix link 😊) https://lnkd.in/d6AQr2Jk Framer is (and anyone who's using it/knowing about it will agree) the easiest no-code tool a Figma user can learn. Similarity in UI (and they'll look even more similar with the new UI of Figma) and actions make it very easy to learn, so I highly suggest checking it!

Bloody hell, so we're celebrating the ability to embed yet another tool into Backstage, the very epitome of enterprise overengineering that already requires a bloody army of DevOps engineers just to display some documentation. It's like watching someone install a lift in their doghouse because walking through the door wasn't "enterprise grade" enough. The fact that we need plugins and "card components" to do what a well organised git repository with some markdown files could handle speaks volumes about where we've gone wrong. But here's the thing about EventCatalog: unlike the usual enterprise bloatware that seems designed primarily to justify expensive consultancy contracts, it actually solves a real problem in a sensible way. I've used it myself, and it's refreshingly straightforward, focusing on making event documentation accessible and useful rather than turning it into another checkbox in some architect's fever dream of "digital transformation." The visualiser and message tables aren't just fancy widgets; they're actually useful tools that help developers understand what the bloody hell is going on in their systems. The irony here is that by creating this Backstage plugin, EventCatalog is essentially building a bridge to cross a river that shouldn't exist in the first place. But if that's what it takes to inject some sanity into the enterprise documentation space, then so be it. When you've got a tool that prioritises actual developer needs over corporate buzzword bingo, it's not surprising it might eventually overshadow platforms like Backstage. After all, good software isn't about how many plugins you can stuff into your tech stack, it's about solving real problems without making everyone want to tear their hair out in the process.

The new "imagebuild" command in the latest DockerSlim release allows you to build container images using different build engines. In addition to the cloud-based Depot.dev builds you can also use the Docker, Podman and BuildKit build engines. Example building with Depot.dev: mint imagebuild --engine depot --engine-token your_depot_token --engine-namespace your_depot_project --dockerfile Dockerfile --context-dir . --runtime-load docker Example building with Podman: mint imagebuild --engine podman --image-name imagebuild-podman-app:latest --dockerfile Dockerfile --context-dir node_app You can get the latest version here: https://lnkd.in/gfSqCex8

Working on a plugin for Backstage that let's you embed your EventCatalog. This initial version will let you embed the visualizer, table of messages and your docs into Backstage. Also supports Card components for your pages. Any feature ideas? Let me know!

Check out my new JetBrains IDE plugin - Current KeyMap (Dynamic) It shows the (dynamic) current key map in a Markdown editor. This is not the same as the static Help > Keyboard Shortcuts PDF OOB action. The table shows Keys as row headers and modifiers as column headers. This is one way to find out open slots by looking at the empty cells of the table. https://lnkd.in/g4cseEKA Feedback welcome! Be productive!
