Since John Allsopp mentioned the View Transitions API at Web Directions Code 2023 in Melbourne, I've been closely tracking its progress. Experimenting with it in Angular Spotify has been a joy. While my PR is still a work in progress for a single-page app like Angular Spotify (https://lnkd.in/gY6zQnBi)), it's exciting to see the View Transitions API advancing to a W3C Candidate Recommendation. Moreover, it now supports multi-page apps (MPAs), with the draft for cross-document navigation currently in public working draft status. This breakthrough means transitioning between pages in traditional multi-page apps, including those built with server-side rendering frameworks like ASP.NET MVC, PHP, Ruby, or static site generators such as Jekyll or Hugo, feels incredible with just @view-transition and view-transition-name in CSS! I've detailed my experiments with the View Transitions API for cross-documents. Check it out 👉 https://lnkd.in/gkRprFxt

Customised Financial Tracker Update #5: Backbone APIs complete Just a quick update on my most recent project. I have finished building out the core APIs for my app and I must say it was more difficult than I imagined. 😅 A quick rundown on what the core APIs will provide. Key Features: Transaction Tracking: The system automatically collects and organizes financial transactions, providing a comprehensive view of spending habits. Auto Categorization: Transactions are automatically categorized based on keywords in the merchant name, making it easy to understand where money is being spent. This feature uses custom logic that may be enhanced with AI in the future for even more accurate categorization. Category Management: Users can create, update, and manage custom categories, allowing for personalized financial organization. Flexible Reporting: The APIs supports various time periods for transaction fetching, enabling detailed financial analysis over different timespans. What's next: Well I do have 2 posts to share with you about API security methods and how I unit test in NESTJS using Jest but I'll share them at a later date. For now I will be moving to building out a dashboard to connect the APIs to. #APIDesign #SoftwareDevelopment #PersonalFinance

Today's Supabase launch is all about Auth 🔒 Use Supabase products like realtime, storage and data apis using your Firebase, Auth0 or AWS Cognito users - you do not need to use Supabase Auth! Making everything work in isolation is a key product principle of ours. Our products play nicely with each other, but each product also stands well on it's own. That way you have the flexibility to use only the parts of Supabase you like. Read more about our product principles here - https://lnkd.in/g_7tU7Qn To get started with Third party auth and a few other Auth announcements, read on https://lnkd.in/gMZuyfNu

The power of Kiwi SaaS 💪 Though the kiwiSaaS Community has now officially shuttered its doors, they didn't leave us empty-handed—as well as 2 years of amazing insights, resources, and community-building, they recently launched their report: "Insights from the Cloud" 🧠 The report was a treasure trove of information, including: 💴 The SaaS sector generated a staggering $3.6B in export revenue in 2023, growing at 15% CAGR since 2016. It’s a major economic driver for NZ. ⚙️ SaaS solutions support greater productivity across sectors, which has an effect on the national economy. 📈 Strong, up-to-date data is a key puzzle piece in making the right strategic decisions (something ecoPortal knows well) 🚀 Scaling is the real challenge, with only 10% of SaaS companies in the high-growth phase 🌍 The SaaS delivery model's global reach is unmatched, with a strong pipeline of companies targeting high growth Ryan McMillan noted in a recent post that you can't slash your way to success—growth requires investment. The SaaS sector in New Zealand is not just thriving but transforming the economy; to see long-term gains, the industry must continue to be recognised for all that it can contribute to the country and the world, and invested in accordingly 🌍 Image from "Insights from the Cloud" 📈 #SaaS #Founder

Great dinner conversations with Tanya Chen, head of engineering at Atlassian. ⭐ Compounding is magic. Start raising your hand early. You get an opportunity today, your next 3 years are accelerated, then you start from a different point, and so your learning and opportunities in front of you keep compounding. ⭐ When you need to make a risky decision, think about the upside and not just the downside. We tend to emphasize too much on the downside- fear and risks. "I could be seen as not that skilled or worthy", and the negativity holds us back. Instead, focus on what you *can* become and find people to help you. ⭐ No substitute for knowledge. Switching back to IC roles helped me learn things in detail. That later helped me accelerate my career as a leader even more.

Scaling a startup community to 20,000+ users across Australia—all without a single line of code? That’s the power of no-code when it’s done right. Platforms like Bubble.io have redefined what’s possible for companies looking to grow quickly, reduce costs, and stay adaptable. Here’s how Fishburners, Australia’s first and largest startup coworking community, scaled with no-code: 1/ Operational Efficiency and Scalability Fishburners streamlined its membership management and automated revenue ops using Bubble, freeing up time and resources to reinvest in growth. This shift doubled their growth rate and opened doors to a broader customer base. 2/ Rapid Prototyping to Full Product In just three months, Fishburners went from concept to a fully functional MVP, delivering essential features to thousands of users. This speed allowed them to iterate and adapt to community needs in real time. 3/ New Revenue Streams The team created the Fishburners Services Hub, which connects members with quality providers and brought in a fresh revenue stream. Bubble enabled them to test, launch, and scale the hub rapidly, giving their community more ways to benefit from the platform. 4/ Expanding Global Reach No longer limited to physical spaces, Fishburners leveraged no-code to build a digital presence that attracted interest from global players, including Google and top Australian universities. Their platform has now evolved into a resource for startup founders worldwide. No-code isn’t just for simple apps—it’s capable of scaling communities, opening new revenue channels, and fast-tracking growth. Fishburners did it by embracing Bubble, proving what’s possible with a no-code-first approach. If you’re Curious about how no-code could work for your business, get in touch. I’m always happy to explore how this approach can support your growth goals.

Here's our next Ministry Of Testing - Auckland meetup Join us for retelling of Spark New Zealand's journey into the world of Playwright by Glen Osborne. Spark’s transformation from manual to automated testing using a custom playwright framework has been interesting. The automation journey for me was going from automation in the CI/CD world to automation in the testing world. We often look for tools that tick all the right boxes when we should look for the right tool and modify it for our use cases. Playwright for end-to-end testing is a solution that our people got excited about and proved to be the correct choice for the business. https://lnkd.in/gZ54Fu6G btw we're looking for a sponsor of our drinks and pizzas, if your company has about $200 in their PR budget and would like to connect with 50-100 Quality and Automation Engineers then please do reach out. <below is me asking chatGPT to give me some hashtags> #TestingCommunity #AutomationTesting #Playwright #QualityAssurance #SoftwareTesting #TechMeetup #AucklandTech #MinistryOfTesting #TestAutomation #QACommunity #EndToEndTesting #ContinuousTesting #CICDAutomation #TechEvent #SponsorshipOpportunity

"Are Bengal Cats legal in Australia?" Searching these six words on Google could put your data at risk. The phrase "Are Bengal Cats legal in Australia?" might seem like an innocent query, but hackers are using SEO poisoning to infiltrate these specific Google search results. SEO poisoning is a technique whereby cybercriminals manipulate search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that their malicious websites appear at the top of Google search results. When users click on these seemingly legitimate links, they are redirected to malicious sites that can steal personal information, including sensitive data such as bank details and login credentials. According to Sophos, the links are hazardous for users in Australia, as the hack only appears when “Australia” is included in the search phrase.

Kinda love this new product vision from Xero: ✨ JAX: Just Ask Xero ✨ (https://lnkd.in/epz3d5S7) Some thoughts: ▶ Interesting that the video used in the promo (https://lnkd.in/exE9ajk3) are US English speaking actors. Clearly making a strategic push into the US , aligned with the C-Suite refresh to US execs (new CEO, CPO, CGO, and CMO - all US-based) 🇳🇿 -> 🇺🇸 ▶ Lots of modalities to access (in-app chat, mobile voice, attendee in a zoom call, SMS, WhatsApp, email) ▶ This is in Beta starting in August, so who knows how well this will actually work in practice. ▶ It’ll be interesting to see if users (business owners &/or bookkeepers) change how they interact with Xero & find value in this new conversational interface. I don’t think this behavioral shift is a given. Elsewhere in the ERP/GL world, NetSuite & QBO have also made AI announcements, but to date they have been underwhelming: ▶ QBO has a chatbot (AI Assist), but I have not heard many success stories of people using it yet. ▶ Netsuite has some GenAI, but it seems to be limited to descriptions of e-commerce items ("Text Enhance") & finally getting OCR, years after the rest of the industry. That’s weak sauce. Anyone finding success & killer applications wrt to GenAI in Accounting/Finance?
