The next step was clearly to shove this into the `gleam export` command, so I typed my best artisanal slop to do the same thing as the script but ✨ better ✨. I ran the same program through this andddddd... it works! :D

Screenshot from terminal showing a modified gleam cli running `gleam export porffor-native`. Gleam compiles, bundles, and Porffor-es, then you can run the resulting binary

Willow (GHOST)@willow· 12d

Then created a script that would compile that Gleam program to JS, edit the file to call `main()`, bundles it together with esbuild, and then pass it to Porffor

Screenshot from terminal running `just run`. It shows the compiler output of Gleam, esbuild, and Porffor and then at the end shows:

Hello from Porffor/pre-alpha 12 (8ef8aaa 2026-07-24)

Willow (GHOST)@willow· 12d

I created a simple Gleam program that gets the Porffor version from an external JS function

$src/gleam_porffor.gleam ```gleam import gleam/io import gleam/option.{type Option, Some, None} @external(javascript, "./env.mjs", "porfforVersion") fn porffor_version() -> Option(String) pub fn main() -> Nil { case porffor_version() { Some(version) -> io.println("Hello from " <> version) None -> io.println("Where's Porffor???????") } } ``` src/env.mjs ```js import { Option$Some, Option$None } from '../gleam_stdlib/gleam/option.mjs'; export function porfforVersion() { const version = navigator?.userAgent; return typeof version === 'string' && version.includes('Porffor') ? Option$Some(version) : Option$None; } ```$

so close...

The last has "Panik" again (but the guy is more panicked), with the form with the sifa.id link with an error text asking to enter a valid LinkedIn URL

Goodbye Berlin, we didn't see eye to eye with regards to travel but I forgive you since you let me see so many amazing people 💙

Email from a company claiming my domain expires on the 15th of June 2026 (it doesn't), and trying to get me to renew it with them.

Is there really not a more limited permission available?

the provenance is being generated before publishing, the sigstore entry is there and valid. It's just not being returned with the packument... so presumably there is some bug internally where the provenance data is getting missed - hopefully they haven't lost it and it can be retroactively patched

Logs showing npm is generating the provenance statement and publishing it to sigstore

the timeline page is definitely my new favourite thing

in lieu of figuring out who is behind @patak.horse, I suppose we'll continue our open source enterprise @patak.cat, me, @erus.dev, @alexdln.com, and @43081j.com

should we be concerned?

$GitHub PR comments ghostdevv: @danielroe are you a human or ai? danielroe: I am human\n\n—aren't we all? Not just human, but rational. It's a new paradigm.$

As much as I'm tempted to tag all 86 people here, I'll refrain and instead immortalise this image of the wonderful superconnectors.wisp.place view for youandme.at

Goodbye Vancouver, and thank you all for such an amazing Atmosphere Conf 💙🎉 I managed to connect with 86 people, the vast majority of whom I've never met before, that's just crazy 😆💙
