Exciting news! I am incredibly happy to announce I have founded a new branding and web design studio with two long time colleagues called U&US. We’re based in Belfast and Guernsey and bringing years of experience creating great work for good brands to you! uandus.co.uk

Thank you @storyblok!! 🎉 🎉 I love being one of the ambassadors, we all being different perspectives, experience and skills which is a reflection of the flexibility and scope Storyblok offers. 😍

Want SVGs in @storyblok’s asset manager but still want to be able to inline or manipulate them. Using my @Laravel package, create a Field class and use file_get_contents() to load the content. Now you can style with CSS, animate, or whatever you wish! #StoryblokAmbassadors

Did you know you can check which components a blocks fieldtype contains in Laravel Storyblok? Here I have a page, I get the ‘block()’ for the content type, then check if the ‘blocks’ field contains a ‘form’ component as a child. ls.sirric.co.uk #StoryblokAmbassadors

I love the new @Storyblok #Blueprints! I can just jump in and start building stuff and play around with frameworks I never had time to learn to set up before! storyblok.com/lp/blueprints

I’ve released version 2.46.0 of my @Laravel package for @storyblok. It’s a small release but with some useful methods to get asset metadata such as alt text, titles and copyright! github.com/RicLeP/laravel… #StoryblokAmbassadors #Laravel #Storyblok #CMS

This is a fantastic couple of days. Really enjoyed not only mentoring, but also learning. Met a lot of wonderful people too.

Great first day, lots of interesting projects being worked on by the teams. Looking forward to seeing what they produce tomorrow.

I missed this the other day, but my open-source @Laravel package for @storyblok crossed 50,000 downloads. It’s amazing to think the package I created is being used by teams around the world to bring their websites to life!

Hey, exciting news! I am going to be a mentor at the Storyblok x VMO2 Hackathon. Two days hacking on @storyblok to create something cool with me, some fellow Ambassadors and members of the Storyblok team! It's going to be a great event, more details below...

I didn’t realise the <strong> and <em> tags can be nested to increase the relative strength of their meaning! I can’t think of any system that allows me to set this. Most don’t even care for the difference in <strong> and <em>, and <b> and <i>.

Animating the #SVG dash-arrays can give that shaky-line effect (that I hate!) which some cartoons use. Not the best video example as it’s scaled up here, but create an array with lots of random lengths then juggle of offset in #CSS.

If you want to use the new @storyblok PHP TipTap extension with my Laravel package here is how: github.com/RicLeP/laravel… There are too many PHP 8.2 users for me to make this the default behaviour at the moment. #StoryblokAmbassadors

I got a message on Discord today asking to add to support for the .jfif extension to my @storyblok package for @laravel. It’s now supported in 2.42.0. You can also now configure the extensions too. github.com/RicLeP/laravel… #StoryblokAmbassadors

Laravel Storyblok 2.41.0 is out! It increases the depth to which links in Story content are enriched! github.com/RicLeP/laravel… @storyblok #StoryblokAmbassadors

How have Adobe managed to make such slow software? It’s incredible. The biggest threat to creatives isn’t AI being fast, it’s the tools humans use being so slow!
