> - git-multi-hook https://www.codeofhonor.com/projects/git-multi-hook/ git only allows one script per hook event; this is a dispatcher that discovers and runs every script in a hooks dir, in parallel, for both global and repo hooks. Newest Git supports hook events.

You are correct: git 2.54 supports multiple hooks via a the git repo and global configuration files. Git-multi-hook predates that, but I updated it to use the new 2.54 config-based format. The significant advantage of git-multi-hook is that they all run in parallel. I run eight hooks on precommit, so parallelism is a big win. I will update the README to make note. Thanks!

git-hook documentation says that hook events can be configured to run in parallel.

Cool but mate, this is just not true: >>Some content-management software (CMS), like WordPress, requires using the same presentation layer that the CMS uses Headless wordpress has been a thing for quite a while and it’s trivial for a use case like this

You are correct, I will amend that. I do think that locks you out of a lot of the plugin ecosystem if using it as a static site generator, yeah?

As a developer who deploys wordpress often, I can tell you that if you have the resources (experience and time) to setup a headless wordpress you probably don’t need 99% of plugins. The really important ones (ACF Pro, cookies-stuff, SEO etc) are compatible with headless. I regularly deploy non headless high impact wordpress sites with about 6 plugins max. Theme is custom developed as a skeleton starter plus custom fields. I feel you though, it’s imperfect but so far I haven’t found an alternative for client work especially that beats the WP ecosystem

https://github.com/haplo/pelican-theme-reflex — My Pelican [1] theme. While I started it before LLMs were a thing, I was recently able to tackle all my open TODO items with AI.

https://github.com/haplo/pelican-copy-code — A Pelican [1] plugin to add a Copy button to all source code blocks. It happens at build time, so no DOM manipulation at page load time.

https://github.com/haplo/venice-kde-widget — A KDE Plasma widget to display Venice.ai [2] remaining

I'm currently writing a series of blog posts about these that I call Vibe-coding Escapades [3]. I will also write about bugs and technical problems that AI helps me debug and solve, some are non-trivial and have been pestering me for years.

My favorite is: https://github.com/theo-sardin/instant-switcher Instant windows switcher with custom shortcuts and instant "opt+tab" and trackpad switching. Simple does exactly what I need it to do (just bypasses the slow window switching that is annoying), with no additional features or bloat. I've also done a TUI that combines my messages from WhatsApp + messenger + discord which is pretty handy at work.

Cool stuff. What do you use to get new messages from those 3 apps?

Several things:

https://github.com/openclaw/wacli for WhatsApp,

https://github.com/diamondburned/arikawa for discord, and

https://github.com/mautrix/meta for messenger.

There was a bit of initial setup extracting tokens for messenger and discord I believe, but now it's smooth sailing. Some issues sometimes correctly mapping ids to usernames / convos make it so some conversations are duplicated for messenger, but when I have time I think some smart reconciliation heuristic will be able to take care of it.

It's great !

I have built several tools from general purpose agents to the current project I am working on which is AgentLine - Telephony services for AI agents it gives a phone number to every AI agent to call and sms. I built it over a period of 14 days now I have refined it so much that I have more than 36 paid customers with 300$ in Monthly recurring revenue.
