This post explores how to enhance the automatic generation of LinkedIn banner images by including technology badges and a portfolio URL. This provides a richer, more informative visual representation for professional profiles.

Problem

Previously, the generated LinkedIn banner image only contained the person's name and position. This lacked context about their technical

In the ongoing development of devlog-ist/landing, a project focused on creating engaging landing pages, a recent refactoring effort centered on enhancing the clarity and maintainability of our data structures. Specifically, we focused on the PostResource table.

The Problem

The original PostResource table included a column labeled 'Post Reports'. This name was ambiguous and didn't clearly

This post delves into a recent refactoring effort within the devlog-ist/landing project, focusing on enhancing the structure and clarity of the PostResource table. The primary goal was to replace the 'Post Reports' column with 'Scheduled For', aiming for a more intuitive and maintainable data model.

The Initial Design

Initially, the PostResource table included a column named 'Post Reports'.

Sometimes, seemingly small changes can significantly improve code clarity and maintainability. This post explores a refactoring effort focused on streamlining data representation within a project.

The Initial Situation

Initially, a particular feature within the devlog-ist/landing project used a column named 'Post Reports' in the PostResource table.

This post details a recent refactoring effort within the devlog-ist/landing project, focusing on improvements to content generation workflows. By separating concerns and enhancing the user interface, we've aimed to create a more maintainable and user-friendly experience.

The Challenge

Previously, the logic for generating content, particularly for platforms like LinkedIn, was tightly

The devlog-ist/landing project focuses on creating a compelling landing experience. Recent work centered on improving SEO and ensuring proper sitemap discovery.

The Problem

The Cloudflare CDN was overriding the application's robots.txt, which prevented search engines from discovering the sitemap. This negatively impacted SEO performance.

The Approach

To bypass the CDN override, a

Improving the accuracy and scope of technology detection is crucial for generating relevant and informative content. A recent update introduces rule-based technology detection, significantly expanding our ability to identify the technologies involved in code changes. This enhancement allows for more precise tagging and categorization of blog posts, benefiting both content creators and readers.

Maintaining a consistent URL structure is crucial for search engine optimization (SEO). Duplicate content, even with slight variations in the URL (like the presence or absence of "www"), can confuse search engines and dilute your website's ranking potential.

The Problem: Duplicate Content with Varying URL Prefixes

Search engines like Google treat example.com and `www.example.

Introduction

We've recently refined our technology tag generation process within our internal systems. This enhancement focuses on ensuring that tags accurately reflect the technologies demonstrably present in the data, avoiding the inclusion of tangentially related or inferred technologies.
