Version 0.3.0 of Braindump Released
I am excited to announce the release of version 0.3.0 of Braindump. This release contains few new features, but some pretty big changes have happened with the way that Braindump is being deployed.
New Features
- Switched to using Prose Mirror instead of ACE. I have been super impressed with Prose Mirror and I think that it will make the writing experience on Braindump much better.
UX
- New Logo (thank you Songbing :))
Ops and Dev
- Switched to NPM for Javascript Dependency Management
- Completely Dockerized the application using Docker Compose, CircleCI and Quay.io, each git tag is now being automatically deployed to production while each master build is building an image.
- Completely Switched to Python 3 (3.5 to be exact). Props to Ricardo for always trolling me about living in the past.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

i’m calling it ‘wil wheatcon’ until i can think of something better
In an average year, I travel to around 5 or 6 cities for conventions. Almost every time I announce an appearance, the most common response is some version of “that’s great! When are you coming to [my town]?” I’m not coming to your town, but I am coming to...
via WIL WHEATON dot NET May 20, 2026On people writing about their use of AI
I find the trend of people posting about the way they use generative AI to be fascinating at an anthropological level. I do not remember the last time a piece of technology pushed so many different people into writing about the way they use it, or not use...
