It’s been 3 years since the first commit was made. In this time, Beaver has grown a lot, and we have an exciting road ahead of us. Thanks to all of you for sticking around through the journey 💖; we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the new version of Beaver.

I’m working on Beaver’s plugins system, but I’m still figuring out the direction I want to take. Some ideas: - Custom editor blocks - Third-party integrations (GitHub, Google Drive, calendars, etc) - Workflow automation and deeper access to your notes I’d love to hear your ideas. #buildinpublic

WTF is happening @github.com this morning? I receive a comment from a guy telling me I’ve been ignoring his issue. I’ve been hunting down issues and PRs everywhere in my repos ‘cause apparently I’ve missed a ton and never got notified.

Today marks 10 years since a gunman took 49 lives at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL. We honor those lost while continuing to strive for a country where LGBTQ+ people can safely be themselves.

What's up, chat! Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update. This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.

A group chat staffed entirely by the Bluesky team's pets, who are very excited to tell each other that group chats now exist.

I’m not sure what’s happening at Flathub, but this is absurd. I support implementing quality controls to ensure software quality, but a blanket ban on all AI-generated code will only hinder Flathub.

Had 10 seconds to myself, so of course I redesigned the now playing section on my website. Now if you head to daniele-rolli.com on your computer, you’ll see a spinning cd with lyrics scattered around. On phones, I had to go for a more subtle widget 😭

The homepage features a pixelated headline, a short bio, and a spinning vinyl record widget playing a Lady Gaga song. The bottom section uses a bento-grid layout containing widgets for Rome and local time, colored navigation folders, a photo of a dog named Roy, a blog post preview, a globe graphic, and social media icons

I’ve been working on Orbit to improve its user interface and make it work with more devices. Right now, it’s mainly for Colmi rings, but I’ll tweak it before it hits the App Store. Also trying out opt-in on device Apple Intelligence for health tips and data interpretation.

Screenshot of the Orbit app's "Sleep" screen from June 1, 2026. It shows a sleep score of 67 (labeled "Good"), a recorded sleep duration of 6 hours and 43 minutes (from 12:38 AM to 8:00 AM), and a notification flagging an "Irregular Sleep Schedule."Screenshot of the Orbit app's main "Summary" dashboard. It displays a "COLMI Ring" status as disconnected, followed by brief health data widgets showing low activity (2,215 steps), a sleep duration of 6 hours and 43 minutes, and a heart rate of 83 BPM.
