Notes

Tilman is trying out Ghost and showed how he has set up his cloud instance and the ActivityPub integration (see here (which is in beta and cloud-only, so you can't yet use it on a self-hosted instance). This setup allows you to use your own domain name for your Mastodon account (something that is also achievable by running software like GoToSocial or using the webfinger workaround).
BjΓΆrn Stierand vibe-coded a theme switcher for his website. The initial version had some flickering when switching themes, so Max pointed out a fix by restructuring code. There was also some discussion about the code quality of the JavaScript the AI created.
Alexsandr rewrote his 'Menzingers Shirt' website. He used and old-school ImageMap to highlight different sections of the shirt and display relevant information on the side. He also added a language selector.
Afterwards there was some dabbling with synthie stuff in the browser (see links below).
