Copying a Feature from Docusaurus 🦖 For My Static Site Generator - rwar 🦁
From their GitHub repo documentation:
-
Why I built another static site generator: A love story
First, I used django-microframework as inspiration for a simple app.py that could be used instead of the potentially overwhelming files Django normally uses for a site. Then, I added in automatic reading of .env files to override Django settings that shouldn't be committed. I used markdown2 to automatically render markdown files into HTML. And built a way to load data from JSON into templates to be used as variables (since a database is not available when generating a static site).

Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.

Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
Kaitai Struct might be a good choice for that: https://kaitai.io/
-
Ingesting, parsing and making sense of device log data
For binary log format, there's the excellent Kaitai Struct frameworks, that make it very easy to generate parsers from a declarative schema

What projects are you working on or planning to do this year?
Speaking of reading binary data, later I found Kaitai Struct. You can write file format in YAML, then it would transpile it to different programming languages. Highly recommend it if all you need is to read (it can not serialize data back to binary). There's even a web IDE to play with files, which is quite fun.
What are some alternatives?
Python-Markdown - A Python implementation of John Gruber’s Markdown with Extension support.
Protobuf - Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
Mistune - A fast yet powerful Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins.
csvkit - A suite of utilities for converting to and working with CSV, the king of tabular file formats.
Camelot - A Python library to extract tabular data from PDFs
tablib - Python Module for Tabular Datasets in XLS, CSV, JSON, YAML, &c.
PDFMiner - Python PDF Parser (Not actively maintained). Check out pdfminer.six.
rizin - UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset.
PyYAML
mistletoe - A fast, extensible and spec-compliant Markdown parser in pure Python.
Scopt - command line options parsing for Scala
Fast Parse - Writing Fast Parsers Fast in Scala
