Notes on: ZapConnect 2024
Notes on ZapConnect 2024. This post has two functions: notes for future me, and knowledge sharing.
The blog contains . . . everything. Quick references, miscellaneous tutorials, conference notes, and so on. It's a blog as brain with a tech focus. For many of the posts, I am the primary intended audience: the blog is there so I can quickly look up things I need. Others are more tutorial-like, or designed to answer quick questions. The writing style is generally informal, and closer to natural language than I'd use in documentation. I don't reliably maintain and update the content in this section.

This post is a teardown of timebox.so, a todo list app that I recently spotted on Reddit.
I'm doing the teardown because there was a lot that impressed me in the product presentation, and I want to capture my takeaways. This is a learning exercise and set of notes for me to look back on if I ever launch a product - and hopefully a helpful real-life example for you!
This post is a response to an article a friend, Adeline Amar sent to me: Spiky point of view: Let’s get a little controversial by Wes Cao.
I found the article intriguing: lots of good stuff in it, but wrapped in language that didn't really fit the core arguments and examples. I want to dig into what 'spiky' is doing here, try and extract Cao's main point, and look at the value it brings.
The Material theme for the MkDocs static site generator has a Status feature. You can use frontmatter to mark a page as either new
or deprecated
, and the theme gives it an icon in the navigation.
Recently, at n8n, I wanted to mark pages as beta
to signal they're documentation for a beta feature. I didn't want to use new
and its default icon for this, so had to add a custom status.
In my work as n8n's tech writer, I need to maintain some Kubernetes-based deployment guides. This blog post contains the steps for setting up minikube and kubectl on Windows, running it, and testing n8n's Kuberenetes hosting configurations. This is a letter to my future self. Some steps are n8n-specific, but this can also serve as a quick guide for any Kubernetes testing.
This post looks at why you'd want shared cookie consent across your subdomains, then outlines the key features to be aware of when setting this up with Material for MkDocs, and provides a code sample to help you get started.
