Let’s be honest: we should have done this earlier. It shouldn’t take a major incident to realize how much we all rely on a rather small group of people who volunteer their time to keep 70% of the web running.

We’ve just donated to the PHP Foundation (@thephpf.bsky.social) and Ondřej Surý’s DEB.SURY.ORG after their amazing work on Wednesday. opencollective.com/phpfoundation opencollective.com/debsuryorg

Accessibility has an interesting reputation: everyone agrees it matters, but somehow 95.9% of the top million home pages have detectable WCAG failures. Yoshie and Thomas believe we deserve better. In their talk they look at accessibility through the lens of empathy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Zw...

Justus and Claudia from moinframe surprised us with a wonderful wrap-up video of our first Kirby Konf. It captures the vibe of those two days perfectly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiKa... Thank you so much to the both of them for creating this 💛

Very much looking forward to this one. 15 years #btconf. 20th November. Join us! beyondtellerrand.com/blog/fifteen...

Kirby 6.0.0-beta.1 is here, and it's packed with new features: getkirby.com/releases/6/ 🚀 🧑‍💻 A new live editor 🎨 Simplified blueprints 🔐 Passkey support 🥞 Template stacks 🎛️ A new buttons field 🏎️ Faster Panel performance … and so much more. The final release is planned for later this year 🎆

We love the internet, but it’s also the world’s biggest fossil fuel powered machine. In his talk, Green Web Foundation’s Director of Technology and Policy Chris Adams introduces what a fossil free internet is, why we need one, and how we can help to build it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvij...

Are you in the Seattle area? There's a micro Kirby meetup tomorrow at Pegasus Coffee in Bainbridge Island, at 12 pm Pacific Time: community.getkirby.com/events/commu...

We used to feel like frauds while doing genuinely good work. Now the industry is full of the opposite: huge confidence, little proof, and polished output that's often wrong. In his wonderful personal talk, Justus Kraft explains why doubting yourself is useful again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpDy...

Bastian opened Kirby Konf 2026 two weeks ago with his keynote about our first attempt to run Kirby Konf in 2020, our plans for Kirby 6, and the future of Kirby. You can now watch his talk on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e36O...

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

While we cook in Europe, it's worth remembering that this isn't just a European story. Across the Arctic and other high-latitude regions, temperature anomalies are reaching extraordinary levels, with some areas forecast to be >10–20°C above historical averages. The climate signal is global.

A quick update before the weekend: we have only 16 tickets left for our first Kirby Konf in September. We'd love to meet you in Mainz! konf.getkirby.com

In 2024, we added a tiny checkbox to our checkout that made a huge difference. We started donating €1 to a good cause for every license sold, and the checkbox lets customers add another €1 to match our contribution. We've just collected the first €10,000 in donations 💛

Google's plans from this year's I/O are beyond dystopian. @matthiasott is doing a great job to summarize it all: matthiasott.com/notes/ad-inf...

I like websites

This video by Simon Clark on the Breakthrough conference by the Coalition of the Willing that just happened in Colombia is such a breath of fresh/positive air when it comes to climate change. I really needed that: youtube.com/watch?v=KOL-SFhWYbU

The Tellerrandomizer in action 🎬️ With a base of textures, graphics, masks and fonts and a little .*+ php rand() +*. the collected photos and quotes were projected as generated composition immediately after each talk was over. Read more about it on Sascha's Website: www.n2.studio/work/beyond-...

Tellerrandomizer by Sascha Bregenhorn @saschafrommars.bsky.social demonstrated at @beyondtellerrand.com last week that Kirby can be used for generative design. No need for a big technical setup since the Kirby panel worked perfectly on a smartphone.

This happens if you invite @andremichelle.bsky.social to #btconf and he wants to live-demo #openDAW … (attention: includes @bastianallgeier.com rocking the stage) … www.instagram.com/reel/DX8-VL7...

Tomorrow is Digital Independence Day!

 So we want to highlight the website Di.Day by Yoshie Agata Günther and Thomas Günther @medienbaecker.com who worked on an accessibility-focused relaunch of the page, creating 3 new Kirby plugins: Language Access, Change UUID and Token Field. Visit di.day

"Our current setup fits our needs so well that I want to rub my eyes every time I open it." - Oliver Reichenstein @reichenstein.bsky.social After 20 years on the web and carefully reviewing all options, iA.net switched to Kirby! A decision by a team with high standards for design and usability.

We will be at @beyondtellerrand.com in Düsseldorf next week and traditionally meet on Monday for our Kirby #btconf meetup. If you don't have a ticket for the conference yet, get one! It's going to be awesome! You can also join us just for the meetup. Register here: www.meetup.com/de-de/kirby-...

Yesterday evening, Studio Basics09 opened its doors again for Berlin's 11th Kirby CMS Meetup! The discussions ranged from the long-awaited Kirby Konf 2026, through discussions on maintenance and security, to design-focused presentations of websites. Thank you all for the great discussions!

Two weeks until #btconf Düsseldorf. 15 years. A room full of curious, creative people. Talks that stay with you. Conversations you didn’t plan on having. In a world that keeps pushing us apart, being in the same room still matters. Use this chance. beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse...

There are two Kirby meetups next week and just a couple days more until we meet in Düsseldorf at @beyondtellerrand.com: 📍 Berlin • April 15 www.meetup.com/kirby-cms-co... 📍 Karlsruhe • April 16 kirby-ka.carrd.co 📍 Düsseldorf @ Beyond Tellerrand • April 27 beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse...

Every responsible decision maker in politics, industry etc. should read this. Or better yet the original WMO report it’s about (linked in the article). And then think very seriously: What am I doing to stop this? Is it enough? How do I want to be remembered? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
