The devlog-ist/landing project focuses on creating landing pages. Recently, we tackled a performance bottleneck during the LinkedIn publishing process. The issue arose from sending large base64 encoded images directly within the publish request, leading to 413 errors from Nginx due to exceeding the maximum request size.
LinkedIn's API has limits on request size. Sending a
The devlog-ist/landing project focuses on creating landing pages and managing content for various platforms. This post details the addition of an independent LinkedIn random mode for post generation.
Previously, the application used a single random mode toggle that controlled whether random post examples and prompts were used across all platforms.
When developing tools for content generation, flexibility is key. A recent update to the devlog-ist/landing project focuses on providing more granular control over how content is generated for different platforms. Specifically, we've decoupled the random mode setting for LinkedIn from the portfolio's random mode.
Previously, a single "random mode"
The devlog-ist/landing project helps users track their development activity. We recently improved how the application handles revoked or expired GitHub API tokens. Previously, a 401 error would trigger a generic error log and continuous retry attempts during data synchronization. This led to unnecessary server load and delayed data updates.
Now, when a 401 error (Bad Credentials) is received
When generating content for LinkedIn using AI, it's crucial to tailor the prompts for conciseness and engagement. The goal is to create posts that fully encapsulate the idea within LinkedIn's character limit, avoiding truncation and maximizing impact.
Key optimizations include instructing the AI to generate short, focused content (around 2500 characters), structured in 3-5 paragraphs.
Working on the landing project, which is focused on creating a compelling user experience, we've recently enhanced our testing strategy to ensure the reliability of our GitHub API integrations.
The goal was to catch potential issues arising from changes to the GitHub API, preventing silent failures in our application. We've implemented a suite of integration tests that validate the structure of
We're enhancing the integration capabilities within our Filament-based application, specifically focusing on providing users with more control over syncing their GitHub activity. This feature aims to streamline the process of keeping user activity data up-to-date, providing a more seamless experience within the application.
Efficiently managing and synchronizing data is crucial for application performance. Recently, we enhanced the GitHub activity syncing process in our application by replacing a single-date picker with a more flexible date range calendar. This improvement, combined with a significant refactor, streamlines the synchronization logic and enhances user experience.
We've recently enhanced our platform to allow users to automate content publishing to external platforms like LinkedIn and Dev.to. This feature aims to simplify the content creation and distribution process by enabling users to set default publishing preferences.
This enhancement introduces the ability for users to manage their auto-publishing
In our application, we aimed to streamline the user experience by consolidating related settings. Previously, account-specific settings were located on a separate page, leading to potential user confusion. Our goal was to integrate these settings into a more logical and accessible location, simplifying navigation and improving overall usability.
