Here we are then… this one is for @royalrex
5 minutes on how I got my PHPStorm setup looking sweet.
(With another 5 coming tomorrow! But that's it. Just 2 videos!)

Gah! I have my 5-Minute Window video recorded, edited and exported. But not uploaded and published yet.
Incoming soon!!!
Tried to add PHPCS and PHPStan to this too. Gosh, coding standards are painful to set up.
Seems like some WordPress standards aren't compatible with running them in phpcs on PHP8.0 š¬
Yay! My plugin that syncs Mastodon posts to #WordPress now syncs images too!
I prefer to stay in one place to both read and post social media. So doing it this way works better for me (the alternative being post to WordPress and syndicate out to Mastodon)
Does anyone know what Geometry Dash is? (Context: I do, but Iāve never heard anyone else mention it on social media)
If you do, do you know the story behind it? Why is it suddenly popular? Itās like 5 years oldā½
Is it a TikTok thing or something?
WTH?!
I just accidentally discovered this search feature in @ivory
Then I check and itās been in Tweetbot ALL THIS TIME?!
I NEVER noticed this before!! š¤Æ
Yesterday was a bit longer than 5 minutes.
5 minutes is an aspiration, not a hard limit!
Let's continue building a website.
I've not done #FollowFriday for ages, but I'd love to share:
@aurooba whose 5-minute podcast experiment is wisdom and joy, and inspired me to make things
@jessitron, who's philosophical insight is matched by the energy with which she communicates it.
Thanks to both for all that you share with us!
I'm not sure how this will go today. I don't have much of a plan.
We're building a website though.
5 more minutes…
Well here we are. You know what Iāve been saying for literally years now? Iāve been saying āHey, Twitter! How about you let me PAY for Twitter āProā thatās ad-free (because I donāt click the damn things anyway) and that lets me use a fully functional API.
Yes: productize the API! Everyone that wants it values it. Theyāre probably already paying for a third-party client app.
This is what Twitter Blue should be.
And now itās likely gone.
Sad times.
Gonna have to start turning these into podcasts soon! š
Today, let's try something different.
How much of a simple website can I build in five minutes?
(Not much, it turns out. But you get to see my little small-site starter kit in action!)
@jordibruin Hey! Just wanted to say hi and thank you for Soosee.
Aral Balkan boosted a post of mine about allergy detecting using Apple Shortcuts, and it got a TON of interest as a result.
Iāve been referring loads of people to your brilliant app. So I hope you do well out of it too.
Great work! And thanks again.
Phew! Thanks for all the fave's, boosts, follows and conversations. I've replied to as many of you as I can and have loved all the tips and conversation.
And thanks again to @aral for the huge boost!
If you liked the food-ingredient scanner shortcut it's here for you to tinker with:
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b59d94747ce547f49729ee4692d0cf6d
Use entirely at your own risk and not for severe allergies/intolerances.
These apps also look great:

I didnāt even know it was possible to go viral on Mastodon. This is crazy. Getting about 4 favourites per minute and no sign of it stopping! š
Thanks for all the love and boosting. Youāve made my day!
Well. I didnāt expect that!
This pretty much equates to āgoing viralā on Mastodon, right?
Sorry, @kev, if this is hurting the servers!! š¬
5 silent minutes on dynamic properties in PHP objects today, showing more benefits of objects and types over arrays.
Video of iOS Shortcut that checks ingredients for citric acid – see the post above for what this is about.
Iām a frickin genius.
Context: my kid is mildly allergic to citric acid and citric fruit. Brings out eczema. And citric acid is in SO many things. And itās painful checking ingredients lists for it.
This morning I wondered: can my phone OCR the ingredients list and check it?
My first thought was to make a little web app. But there doesnāt seem to be a OCR in web browsers yet.
But I KNOW my phone can get text from images.
Thenā¦
Apple Shortcuts!!!
CHECK THIS OUT!!!
Aah. Boo. Looks like you need third party APIs. Weird, especially as iOS does this to n device now. It must be coming, right?
