HiThereJoe.bsky.social

We'll be shipping support for Android 16 soon! Excited to fully support edge-to-edge in our app - how did you plan for / manage adding support for this in your apps? 🤔

Enhance documentation on error handling in GraphQL by hitherejoe · Pull Request #2208 · graphql/graphql.github.io Description Added section on modeling errors as data in GraphQL APIs, detailing recoverable and unrecoverable errors, and how to structure mutations and queries to handle errors effectively. This h...

Let's talk GraphQL error handling!

Do you model your errors as data? Or put them in the "errors" array? Or something else?

Community member @hitherejoe.bsky.social is improving the official documentation. Let's write all of this down!

Hi Jack, I build our Android app - sorry for the issues here! The queue count issue is a known glitch from some recent changes, a fix will be out this week for that 🙂

Regarding the issue when moving posts from drafts to your queue, I'll take a look into that. Do you see any kind of error alert?

You can catch @hitherejoe.bsky.social and @marochko.bsky.social at #GraphQLConf in Amsterdam, talking about revamping the @buffer Public API and migrating from REST to GraphQL.

I'm excited to start experimenting this workflow and how it can help use work more efficiently , especially when it comes to across principles 🙌

• Copilot picks up the task for the GitHub issue, works on the task and creates a Pull Request
• The Pull Request is linked back to the linear issue, completing the context loop for any folks that are pulled in for review

• Label an issue in Linear with the corresponding area that the change affects
• Zapier picks up the issue, adds any additional context for the change and copies the content to a GitHub issue

This means that things such as adding new events to our tracking plan, fixing bugs, carrying out design tweaks or even creating new endpoints based on API specs can be done by simply labelling issues in Linear. When it comes to this new Zapier workflow this looks like:

I'm experimenting with some new AI workflows at Buffer, with the aim to not only enable parallel work streams for engineers, but also empower all folks (designers, PMs, customer advocates) to contribute to our codebases via the use of AI, without evening needing to interact directly with an AI agent

Hey Mike 👋 I'm Joe, one of our mobile engineers at @buffer.com! Thanks for flagging this - we'll be working on some improvements based on this feedback, so this flow will be a little smoother in the app soon!

This week, we hit our all-time-highest ARR of $22,395,427 at @buffer.com 🥳

Our previous all-time-high was in February 2020 and following that, we saw it dip. It's been amazing to see the team navigate this and work hard at getting back on track, hitting this new milestone 5 years later!

Wow, we did it! We have officially achieved a new all-time-high ARR at Buffer 🎉

Our previous all-time-high was $22,384,598 on February 6, 2020. Today, our ARR stands at $22,395,427.

This milestone has been 5 years in the making for us, it's going to take a little time to sink in for me personally!

Catching up on some #GoogleIO videos, really glad to see that the ability to halt the roll-out of fully-live production releases from within the Play Console is coming soon 🙌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=POUq...

Exploring Jetpack Compose: DockedSearchBar The ability to search for content within an app is a common feature, in fact, you’ll find it somewhere within most applications on your device. On Android, a common UI component we see for this…

In Android 16, we'll see the ability to opt-out of edge-to-edge enforcement being removed. This means apps targeting API level 36 will have to support edge-to-edge throughout their app. How is this affecting your app? Do you have a lot of migration work to do to support this change? #AndroidDev

Thanks for flagging this! On Android we currently only show the hashtag manager in the standard composer, I’ll make this available in the customise flow for our next release though 🙂
