Are we ready for a public demo of 2D6 Dungeon App?
Summary
Frank navigates a lingering cold and some container-slowness to tackle the 2D6 Dungeon companion app, focusing on polishing it for a potential public demo. Using a mix of Claude and the Kepler/GitKraken AI tools, he fixes a bug with health potion consumption and improves the documentation UI to make the app more standalone. The session features a lot of great community chat about everything from VS Code extensions like Rainbow CSV to gaming recommendations like Dungeon Crawler Carl and Underkeeper.

Project Update, maintenance and other things
Summary
In this stream, Frank returns after a travel break and a case of the “FM voice” (thanks to a head cold) to catch up on his recent projects. After a quick update on the now-archived official Azure URL Shortener, he dives into a companion app for the 2D6 Dungeon board game, demonstrating its integration with .NET Aspire and MySQL. The session wraps up with some live gameplay, a victory against a Slimy Gorgger, and a plan to fix a few inventory and HP bugs in the next stream.

Another milestone for AzUrlShortener
Summary
It was a bittersweet but exciting milestone as Frank officially took back ownership of the Azure Easy URL Shortener after Microsoft archived the original repository. The stream was spent syncing the project, updating documentation to reflect its new home, and coordinating the first independent release (v4.1.2) in quite a while. Between project updates, Frank also spent time wrestling with some OS configuration tweaks following an upgrade to Omari Quattro 4, all while chatting about community contributions and future authentication plans for the budget-friendly tool.

Fixing all build warning before the PR AzUrlShortener
Summary
After a relaxing two-week vacation in Italy, Frank is back and diving straight into maintenance mode for the AzUrlShortener project. In this stream, we focused on “decluttering” the codebase by clearing out 87 build warnings, updating documentation, and merging a community contribution to polish the footer. To wrap things up, we packaged these updates into a fresh pull request for the official Microsoft repository, all while navigating a few post-OS-upgrade configuration hiccups and discussing the potential of switching to Claude for future AI assistance.

Learning sidecar with Azure App Service
Summary
Frank tackled a “budget-friendly” refactor of his URL shortener, successfully deploying a new architecture using Azure App Service sidecars to keep the API private and reduce costs. Between battling Copilot and managing a chaotic “digital friend takeover” in the chat, he managed to clean up the solution and update to the latest packages. It was a productive, high-energy session filled with bike-packing talk before Frank heads off for a two-week vacation in Italy.
