I'm looking for something that I think doesn't exist, but hopefully somebody's got an answer I haven't found:

As a golfer who is constantly working on my own swing, I wanted a simple way to record and analyze every practice session.
So I built a Golf Swing Camera for iPhone. β³οΈ
βοΈ Slow-motion recording
βοΈ Frame-by-frame swing analysis
βοΈ Side-by-side swing comparison
βοΈ Built specifically for golfers
βοΈ Stop filling up your camera roll
I'd love your feedback.

"Urgent Security Notice re: Your Sentry Organization"
Someone tried to hack Sentry-using apps that use coding agents by
1. Sending a fake bug alert to their project (all you need is the app's public Data Source Name)
2. The fake bug tried tricking a coding agent trying to fix it into installing some a compromised NPM package
3. The compromised package would send the env contents of the machine to advisory-tracker[.]com/api/v1/telemetry
This highlights a crucial thing for using agents in an automated way:

I asked Claude in incognito mode what to use to add dynamic open graph images to a laravel app, and it actually recommended OG Kit!
Really hopeful for this channel in the future, and really want to learn everything about it.
Also, thanks to @ericlbarnes and @laravelnews π

For the first time in my life I am quoted as a reason for leaving a technology.
PHP is a tool like any other. If it doesn't solve your problems, then smart move on switching. I know it solves a lot of problems for a lot of people and companies; and is has nothing to do with me.
