I've been using the ESPHome Device Builder app for a couple of months already to offload compilation to my beefy MacBook Pro from the Raspberry Pi that runs Home Assistant. A game changer in compilation speed!

ESPHome@esphome.io · yesterday

Say hello to the ESPHome Device Builder desktop app, available now for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It's a super easy way to deploy and manage your devices in a single download. You can read more about it in our blog 👇 esphome.io/blog/2026/08... #SmartHome #HomeAssistant #HomeAutomation

New: Link an Android tablet, Android phone, or iPhone as a linked device to your Signal account. The most important links are with the people who matter to you, but if you want two phones, a tablet, and a laptop linked to your Signal account, we’ve got your back. signal.org/blog/linked-...

"There's a huge amount of possibilities to be gained from when we think about programming not just as a business tool, but as a tool for human expression" – @samaaron.bsky.social creator of Sonic Pi, and musician as much as programmer.
