Posts from Queen Raae & Family

I stumbled on this challenge when working with highlighting for Prune your Follows.

This weekend I explored Semantic Search using OpenAI and Vector Search from Xata to see if it could be something for Prune your Follows.

Spend the weekend at a mountain cabin catching up on some work, hanging with my friend, and skiing.

Use GATSBY_ for environmental variables (env vars) you use in your client-side code.

In our interview with Monica Lent for the Xata podcast Data in the Wild, she offhandedly said, "Never start with a string; start with an array of strings!"

After a slow week of listening to a bunch of podcasts, I am ready to get my coding on this week 👩‍💻 I still need to be mindful of the concussion, though, so I postponed some scheduled streams to ensure I don't overdo it.

I had a blast hanging with the horse Elsa and some lovely colleagues from the bank I work for a couple of days a week.

On yesterday's unauthorized and rum-fueled treasure hunt, we celebrated passing 25000 unfollows facilitated with Prune your Follows!

We would love to hang out with you in June!

Just when I think the darkness of winter will never end, it does.

It's the winter vacation here in Oslo.

Did you know you can install Spotify, 1Password, Slack, and other obscure techy dev stuff with Homebrew?

This week Xata published an article written by yours truly: One of my favorite features of Xata is the built-in "fuzzy search" functionality.

As of Gatsby v5.5 (January 2023 #2), you can set the HTML language attribute using the Gatsby Head API: // File: src/pages/example.js export function Head() { return ( <> <html lang="en" /> <title>Hello World</title> </> ); } expo…

It's Monday, and we still don't know if Prune your Follows will work with the new Twitter API free plan or the new Twitter API paid plan 🤪 Get your pruning in today if you've postponed it!

I spent most of yesterday trying not to look up the promised Twitter pricing so that I could react live on our unauthorized and rum-fueled treasure hunt.

Netlify bought Gatsby last week, Twitter starts charging for API usage on Thursday.

We finally added an open graph image on last week's unauthorized and rum-fueled treasure hunt, so the URL looks nice when shared on social media.

Breaking news: Netlify Acquires Gatsby 🤯 The funny thing is I talked about JavaScript framework business models with pirate @tujoworker when meeting him in real life earlier in the day.

This month I'll be setting up two new macs 🤯 I am waiting for my very own Macbook Air Starlight M2 and have been given a pretty sweet Macbook Pro by a client.

In March, we'll start recording a new podcast (for Xata) digging into data modeling successes and failures.

It's easy to forget to ensure that the open graph data, i.e. the content you see when sharing a site on social media, is correct.

As soon as v5 was released, I tried upgrading but quickly put it on the shelf as I use node-canvas to draw the open graph images.

It's the week of TheJam.dev, a free online conference on all things serverless 🥳 I'll be live coding a Gatsby Plugin, but I am also very excited to be an attendee — there are some very cool talk titles!

I naively thought all we needed for NextAuth to work with a Xata Worker was getting access to the NEXTAUTH_SECRET env variable.

"What do I email my SaaS users?"

I would love to mix internet friends and IRL friends for my big 40+1 bash 🥳 This is for real; how fun would it be just to hang out?

Even after streaming, podcasting and writing almost daily, I have not seen myself as a "content creator."

As soon as Prune your Follows facilitates 500 unfollows in 24 hours, it gets blocked by Twitter for 24 hours.

Gatsby has its own reporter helper giving us 5 log levels: verbose, info, warn, error and panic.

Yes, in roughly equal amounts.

I turn 40 this week 🤯 It's hitting harder than I thought it would, let's just leave it at that 🤪 Our weekly Treasure Hunt 🔴 🏴‍☠️ Explore Cloudflare Workers with Xata for Prune your Follows — Thursday, January 12th @ 19:00 CET In other Empires The Challeng…

So we fixed the Referrer-Policy for Prune you Follows earlier this week, and I started seeing pruneyourfollows.com as a referrer of traffic in my Queen Raae Fathom analytics.

Prune your follows initial build was sponsored by Xata.

For Prune your follows, we already had an URL structure for filters like this: /app/filter/unpopular /app/filter/unfollowed /app/filter/unpopular But for most filters, there are more than 60 accounts, so we added pagination by: Capturing the page number u…

It's 2023.

Last email of 2022, the 165th one to be exact 🤯 Thank you for bringing joy and adventure into our lives, see you in 2023 🎉 All the best, Queen Raae PS: Pirate snowman by the Pirate Princess, last year she drew us as santas.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 We are in awe of all the support for Prune your Follows, and I guess us 🥰 The launch went so well that Twitter was not having it.

Happy forth and last week of advent 🕯🕯🕯🕯 Last week we launched Prune your Follows!

On this week's unauthorized and rum-fueled treasure hunt in the sharky waters around the Gatsby we added we added usage stats to Prune your Follows.

The time has come, and with your help, we might get Prune your Follows into the coveted top 10 on Product Hunt 🚀 Prune your Follows is currently at #14, maybe you're upvote is the one that makes all the difference!

Happy first week of advent 🕯<span style="opacity: 0.4">🕯🕯🕯</span> This week is about improving pruneyourfollows.com and wrapping up our work on the Cloudinary plugins with reworked documentation 📝 Gatsby released v5.1.0 last week.

After using pruneyourfollows.com for a couple of weeks, I started seeing broken image avatars.

For many plugins all you need to do is add "^5.0.0" to you peerDependencies string and "18.x" to your node.engines string in the plugin's package.json.

It snowed in Oslo today, reminding me to remind you to make sure @raae/gatsby-plugin-let-it-snow is installed on you Gatsby site ready for the season.
