Project mention: I Built an Open-Source project. It Became the Official MailChannels JS SDK | dev.to | 2026-08-13
What started as a small Nuxt integration eventually became a full Node.js and TypeScript SDK for MailChannels. Along the way, I learned a lot from the Vue, Nuxt, and UnJS ecosystems, took inspiration from other developer-focused tools such as Resend, and eventually had the opportunity to join MailChannels and get the project adopted and officially maintained.

I don't think anyone you're calling a "shop" would do anything business-critical with it, but fwiw, Tiddlywiki fits in this category.

Numi is a text-based calculator that lets you type things like "25% of $400" or "3 hours 20 minutes in seconds" and just get the answer. It handles unit conversions, currency, time zones, and variables. Think of it as a scratchpad that does math.

Project mention: vibestretch VS stretchly - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/vibestretch | 2026-08-13
Stretchly is the mature, general-purpose version of this idea: a standalone desktop app that interrupts you on a fixed schedule, whatever you happen to be doing. vibestretch is narrower on purpose. It has no window and no timer of its own; it lives inside a coding agent CLI as shell hooks and counts only the minutes an agent turn actually kept you waiting at the machine, so a day of quick turns stays silent and an agent grinding overnight at an empty chair counts as nothing. Pick Stretchly if you want breaks across all your work; pick vibestretch if the thing pinning you to the chair is an agent you are supervising.
