Instead of Big G, I’m calling you Big D from now on

There's 1 key interaction for communities: people interacting to other people

People confuse this with audience: people coming to interact with you

We're optimizing heavily for the former. I shared a few things we're working on with folks last night. I think I blew a few minds 😉

Hmmm I tested this pretty thoroughly and it's looking and feeling super dope across the board. Really happy with the result and so much more to come to this UX!

Do I just send it fam? Or do I wait until Monday 🤔

Coding was never the slow part.

That's why we built Modem, your dev team's auto-triage PM.

It listens to user signals 24/7, finds problems before you do & does the in-between work – filing tickets, pinging teammates, closing the loop.

And it's not vaporware! You can try it out today at modem.dev

What’s next for @guild.host? Oh nothing 😇

Big release for @guild.host is out! Only 40,000+ lines changed 🤯

Featuring full Dark Mode support and brand new Guild Membership & Event Registration forms with full Approval functionality for folks joining 😉

Really happy with the results! So much more to come 🚀

Ok maybe I got a bit too ambitious and snuck in another big feature while I was testing this, delaying this release slightly

Will be out probably tomorrow alongside that other big feature 😉 Stay tuned!

You aren’t supposed to put liquids on your phone Samuel

I’ll prob ship this tomorrow 😉

If you don't have dope CLI art for your local dev runner, are you even local devving ✨

Looks like Amsterdam. Steering wheel on the left innit

And we just released like 4 more things since I posted this 🚀

- New Timezone selection
- New Social Card Backgrounds that use your key brand colours
- A bunch of other smaller things

What should we do next??

I enjoy the Wolverine claw in the last one

Dope! I'll keep an eye on it, sounds aligned with what I want

We're prob not ready to fully build on that yet as we still need to build a billion other things, but I def want to participate when the time is right

Wait is @danabra.mov working on Embeds too 👀 You still in London dude? Haven't seen you in a while and would love to hear more

Now, you can incredibly simply just copy & paste any Embed directly from Settings and you get _the same_ component that we have on Guild as well ✨

It's actually incredible! Plus it's all easily configurable, previewable & copy-pasteable via the new Embed Settings on any Guild/Event/User 🤯

We have Embeds for Presentations too, and those will be better exposed in the same manner once we ship an upcoming Presentations redesign 😉

Stay tuned! So much to come ❤️

To resolve this, we're now using the Shadow DOM which is built for this purpose. Every new Design System component is served via the Shadow DOM, with all of the generated CSS contained within that as well

Sure, we can and do offer a suite of iframe Embeds. But they just don't feel "native" to the 3rd party app it's being embedded into. It's not a great UX and annoying to lay out, as the embed needs to fit the iframe container...

Then we moved to Tamagui, which wants to generate CSS based on the design system tokens. This made it far more difficult to embed, as now we'd simply conflict with the host CSS

Plus Tamagui wants to Portal out to the host DOM, further breaking encapsulation

Thus we couldn't ship our new DS Embeds

I'm particularly thrilled about the new Embeds

Our whole UI is built on React Native. Initially it used my custom built Design System that had inline styles typical for React Native Web. This made it easy to embed anywhere, as styles were directly on the DOM elements

We're shipping features to @guild.host faster than I can post about them 😅

So far this week:
- Major infra migration on Sunday
- New Settings screens tracking sub-section changes
- New Embeds that use our new Design System, config via Settings screens
- Tons more features

And it's only Wednesday 🤯

What do you need for Guild to be that platform? We're cranking a ton of features to align with my vision of being the best community platform (not just an events plaform) - the current offering is about 10% of that vision. Let me know and feel free to DM if preferable :)

Fine, we'll just build this directly into @guild.host

🚀 Big release went out yesterday!

It was a massive infrastructure migration (apologies for a bit of unexpected downtime 😅) that sets us up quite nicely for a ton of awesome new features ✨

Still working a few rough edges, but overall it's looking great! Enjoy ❤️

Here’s a tiny development sneak peek at our new Flash Messages in the Dynamic Island 😉

Refactored it a while back to support this, now wrapped up the feature entirely. Super slick and extremely happy with the result! 🙌

Oh hey haven't been on here for a while 👋

Been heads down prepping this release for @guild.host 😉

I'm working with an infra provider to enable a feature for us, then can't wait to get this out 🚀 So many goodies, really happy with how things are shaping up!
