Day 13: fixed missing names on user list so emails always show

Published on𝕏

This week I shipped a small but meaningful fix: the users list now shows a name when available and falls back to email when it isn't. That means no more blank lines in the admin view and clearer attribution when I turn commits into public posts.

What shipped

  • The admin users view now displays a name for users that have one, and the email when they don't. This removes invisible rows and makes the list readable at a glance.
  • I cleaned up how we present users so downstream posts and author lines never end up blank. That prevents empty author sections in daily posts and changelog entries.
  • Overall polish to the user display, so the daily automatic posts that go to social and the blog look complete and trustworthy.

Why this matters to builders and makers

When you build in public, small presentation details matter. Blank author fields make posts look unfinished and reduce trust. For people using git-to-market, each commit turns into a public touchpoint. Fixing the user display means those touchpoints clearly show who made the change, which improves credibility and helps readers connect the work to a person or project.

What's next

Next I’ll focus on smoothing author attribution across social channels so names and avatars match everywhere. I’ll keep iterating on the small quality-of-life fixes that make your automated posts feel human and reliable.
