FckVer: A Practical Versioning Strategy for Odoo

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (474+ words) This article contains profanity. The naming is intentional. The idea started from a long debugging session with Odoo's module versioning. If you don't appreciate the name, feel free to rename it internally. Odoo has a single version field inside __manifest__.py....

2+ mon, 2+ day ago   (455+ words) I built LiveShop, a mini live-shopping stream UI, to answer a question I kept running into as a frontend-curious grad: tutorials teach you how to render a list, but they never teach you what happens when that list gets hit…...

OpenAPI Specs automatisch in saubere Markdown-Doku konvertieren

2+ mon, 3+ week ago   (615+ words) Testen Sie Apidog noch heute Markdown löst ein anderes Problem: Es macht die API dort lesbar, wo kein OpenAPI-Renderer läuft. Es gibt keinen offiziellen OpenAPI-Befehl für Markdown-Export. In der Praxis nutzen Teams entweder Konverter, ein eigenes Skript oder eine API-Plattform....

📺 The BroadcastChannel API — The Browser Feature You've Been Ignoring

3+ mon, 3+ day ago   (605+ words) Most developers find this API by accident — usually while chasing a bug where the user logged out in one tab and the other three still show the dashboard. Embarrassing in dev, security issue in prod. The fix is built into…...

Laravel 13 Highlights

5+ mon, 3+ week ago   (190+ words) Laravel 13 dropped last week. The biggest takeaway is that it’s a "zero breaking changes" release for most.
