Well that's a fancy box that just showed up at my house.A black box with the Resend R logo on the top and Resend written on the side.

Since I’m in a bit of a changeover this week, I thought it’d be the right time for a #NewProfilePic too. This one is courtesy of the fabulous @ndcconferences.com team.

Had a lovely time presenting about MCP Apps at #AgentConPerth2026, showing how you can make AI chats less boring and more interactive with UIs inside the agent. #AAAmbassador

A view from behind me, presenting to a lecture theatre full of people.

I am absolutely loving the absolutely unhinged formatting of this email I received from a hotel I'm checking into soon.

The email says: "The property has only 4 covered car park with 2.3M height restriction Left. Pre-booking is a must prior to arrival and at the rate of $35 per vehicle per night. . If you have already booked parking, proceed to the Hotel guest gated car park on the first left and ring the intercom with your reservation name."

But, the number 4, the words "Left", "Pre-booking" and "prior to arrival" are all in different, much bigger, sizes than the rest of the text.

Got some lovely news this morning, I'm joining the first cohort of @aaif.io Ambassadors. As part of this, I'm going to be speaking and writing about the open-source AAIF projects, including MCP, AGENTS.md and Goose. #AAAmbassador

How do you feel about not writing much code anymore? philna.sh/blog/2026/05...

The code isn't the output, the application is.

Ok, it’s right, but for the wrong reasons 🤷‍♂️

Asking Google “how many ps in phil nash”
The AI overview answers correctly that it’s 1, but says it’s the last letter in the first name.

This is the little app I've been working on. Need to find what time it is for cities around the world on any date, so you can organise a call or meeting? This is for you. Check it out at time.philna.sh 🕙

This is the ideal user interface. You may not like it, but this is what peak UX looks like.

A screenshot of the point and click game The Secret of Monkey Island from the Scumm Bar, there are a lot of pirates all over a tavern. At the bottom is the interface, a bunch of actions, including Open, Close, Walk to, Pick up and so on.

I'm simultaneously proud and ashamed. Ashamed to find out that I've been using a password from a data breach for my RubyGems account. I have 2FA enabled too, don't worry! But seriously 🤦‍♂️ I am proud though, because I know that this feature used my pwned gem (rubygems.org/gems/pwned) to check.

A page from RubyGems.org that says "Password found in data breach". It tells me that it has sent a password reset link to my email.

Remember that article "Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up"? mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the... Turns out the observations were too early. App releases are on the up! I just spotted this graph of iOS app releases. Domains are ticking up too.

Two graphs showing iOS app releases each month year on year. The graphs tick up meaningfully after June 2025.

A graph of total domain name registrations up to December 2025. The last part of the graph, after April 2025, appears to bend upwards significantly.

I was cursed with this last week and it took me a while to break it.

I really enjoy speaking at conferences and trying to share what I've learned. It's really nice to be recognised by @sessionize.com for doing it quite a lot. I guess I need to get some talks accepted for 2026 now!

This might be the simplest Langflow flow I've ever built, but it's still really cool. It uses Docling to parse PDFs and return Markdown. You can choose between Docling's standard pipeline, using OCR and other models, or use a vision language model. And you get great results!

A Langflow flow, on the left is a File component with advanced parsing switched on. It connects its Markdown output to a chat output so you get the Markdown output.

I built a @langflow.org workflow and bookmarklet to help me summarise and categorise articles for the AI++ newsletter. It saves me time, so I thought you might like to see how I built it. www.langflow.org/blog/langflo...

Ooh, I got a new email! 😐

An email from Microsoft 365 that says I mentioned myself in a document.

After 2 days of conference and 2 days of hackathon, I’m on my way home 🛫 from @cascadiajs.com. It was a pleasure and a privilege to get to keynote, and to spend the event meeting so many people. I’m tired but so happy to have been a part of the events. 😃😴

Phil Nash@philna· Sep 18

It’s @carter.rabasa.com kicking off the largest @cascadiajs.com ever!

It’s @cascadiajs.com time! It’s going to be a great day of web, AI, and most importantly meeting people. Come say hi at the @langflow.org booth and grab stickers or t-shirts!

Phil Nash@philna· Sep 15

I knew this week was going to be good as I’m on my way to @cascadiajs.com , but starting with a business upgrade on my MEL-LAX flight is just a wonderful start. 😊

I built an alt text generator with @langflow.org and @nextjs.org. Alt text isn't something that an LLM will get right first time, so I tried to build this application to be collaborative, with space to guide the model and edit the result. Can collaborating with AI help accessibility?
