Thank you everyone who came by last night to celebrate my first year on Twitch. My heart is full.

Here was the VCR we played during ad breaks: theCodeDrift wrapped (because it’s so overdone it’s a meme all its own now).

There was an accident with the recording where audio wasn't captured, so instead we can offer a recording from one of Jakob's practice runs on twitch: www.twitch.tv/videos/25845...

And this was the other VCR. You know. The one where my streamer friends made me cry by saying nice things.

I was summoned. I maintain a community plugin forked from z_’s prototype, which runs as a custom script.

This and more yapping. Plus we need to talk metrics, product reach, and ICP. It’s the messy internals of the startup, live.

Today we’re working on privacy-first Twitch tools.

I don’t think you should have to do an OAuth dance just to have an overlay.

Bots like @firebot.app @streamer.bot and @mixitupapp.bsky.social already know your stream’s “state”.

We just want beautiful widgets.

Part of the Twitch experience is letting your viewers redeem rewards. I (foolishly) agreed with @foxwithtacos.bsky.social idea of “why not let them control my IDE theme?”

50% of the way there! The site => stripe => site flow is working, but we need redundancy... so it's webhook time!

It's gonna be a time at least.

Responsible me is posting a stream schedule.

Not because we aren’t doing Taskless Thu/Fri (we are!)

but because we’ll ALSO be gaming all weekend with some of the community members responsible for the channel’s immaculate vibes

I'm continuing to build, because making things is a source of joy. Today we're working on the rate limiters, the plan design, and how to manage quotas when performance matters (at ingestion time).

Chatted with people post-stream yesterday (while en-route to the concert) and consensus was that we need to define the billing 100% in Stripe for fewer headaches.

Good thing we were already planning a separate billing page!

And we're live!

- Moving thick client logic into WebAssembly
- Giving packs more autonomy on their lifecycle

And of course, the event in about an hour.

Let's build.

The "chaos" emote was used 1,854 times outside of my channel. This pleases drifty greatly.
He'd like to see you.
Bring your racoon coins.

Oh, there'll also be code. That Pack architecture won't write itself!

Working on the beverage trifecta. And I suppose also doing some WebAssembly today. We’ll be updating the Stripe pack to schema v2, releasing it and the new core pack, oh and some announcements about coworking. (All that !list) work paying off.

Adventures in Stripe continue. Pulling products from the catalog to populate a purchase page. And (if) that goes well we can look into why MixItUp can't seem to handle a proper walk-on.

With all the cat chores done, it’s time to go live. 2p PDT to 6p PDT; we’ll review the changes off stream, sob about ref counters, do some work on MCP telemetry, and in the second half of the stream, see if we can build a title change command in Firebot.

Over the past week, I refactored Taskless so that our templates, types, and shared libraries can live separately. But making "Taskless work for Taskless" now means I need to test the onboarding shell script. I have no clue how yet...

See ya 2p today (Feb 19) for the sillies

As I mentioned at All Things Web last night, I’m working on MCP Telemetry today on Twitch; trying to turn those 202’s into something more useful.

Let’s piece together what we’ve got. We may even push a release

This week’s stream schedule is a little odd because Thursday I gotta put on the ‘ole extrovert pants again for a work event.

I’ll see you Wednesday & Friday though; we’ll see about finishing that MCP work and talk about the scene planning behind the v2 design.

Today, we're dealing with the AI Elephant in the room: MCP. Not only are server-sent-events a 202 response, errors are in the response JSON. It's the perfect candidate for Taskless' goal of making API Telemetry accessible to devs.

But first, we need SSE support~
