  • srgn

    A code surgeon for precise text and code transplantation. A marriage of `tr`/`sed`, `rg` and `tree-sitter`.

  • https://github.com/alexpovel/srgn

    It grew out of a niche, almost historical need: using a QWERTY keyboard, but needing access to German Umlauts (ä, ö, ü, as well as ß). Switching keyboard layouts is possible but exhausting (it's much more pleasant sticking to one); using modifier keys is similarly tedious, and custom setups break and aren't portable.

    So this tool can do:

        $ echo 'Gruess Gott, Poeten und Abenteuergruetze!' | srgn --german

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    - No account needed

  • chatgpt-shell

    ChatGPT and DALL-E Emacs shells + Org babel 🦄 + a shell maker for other providers

  • - https://xenodium.com/an-ios-journaling-app-powered-by-org-pl... - Lately, I'm having a go at building a privacy-focused plain-text-based iOS journaling app. I starte building it for someone important in my life but now using it myself.

    - https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc. so I built a privacy-focused app, with little friction and no-lockin (saves to plain text).

    - https://plainorg.com - There are a gazillion markdown apps on the App Store, but hardly any supporting org markup, so I built one.

    - https://xenodium.com/scratch-a-minimal-scratch-area - I wanted a surface where I could just dump text with as few taps as possible.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec - I wanted to take either screenshots or videos of macOS apps from the command line, so I could integrate anywhere.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell - I'm far down the Emacs rabbit hole, so I prefer Emacs-integrated tools. Built a ChatGPT Emacs shell to see what the hype was all about ;) tl;dr it really does help.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command - A way to manage and easily apply the gazillion one-liners (and more complex scripts) I've come across. I got close to 100 utils check-in now https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command#my-toolbox

    - https://github.com/xenodium/ob-swiftui - Play around with SwiftUI layouts from the comfort of my preferd editor.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/company-org-block - Org block completion.

    - https://xenodium.com - I tend to scratch own itches and post my solutions here.

  • youtube-cue

    Generate CUE sheet from timestamps in youtube video description

  • > CLI: I wanted to download songs from youtube, but they were often stitched as complete albums - so I wrote a youtube-cue generator that generates cuesheets that can then be used to split and tag the yt-dlp downloaded audio file. (https://github.com/captn3m0/youtube-cue)

    Thanks for this! I need to do some testing, this might automate the last manual step of my own script for converting YT mixes into distinct tracks. The problem I faced is that often the timestamps are not in the description, but instead in a comment, sometimes not even the pinned/top voted comment. That is why I paste it in via stdin for now.

    As this fits the thread topic, a short description of this script. I enjoy YT mixes and wanted to listen to them in my car. I can use an USB stick with media files and playlists which are displayed decently by the infotainment system. I wrote a script that takes in a YT URL (or anything supported by yt-dlp), downloads & converts it to mp3, splits the mp3 file based on a list of timestamps, recognizes (tries to anyway) the songs via SongRec [0], tags & names the files correctly and finally generates an M3U playlist in the format recognized by my car. I use song recognition instead of parsing out the names from the timestamped list as the format of Artist - Title is nearly always slightly different. It was easier to use SongRec instead and get everything I need for tagging with >90% hit rate.

    The heavy lifting is done by calling out to yt-dlp, ffmpeg and SongRec. I just glued them together with Python. I like your approach of a do one thing well and might add youtube-cue to the toolset.

  • soundfingerprinting

    Open source audio fingerprinting in .NET. An efficient algorithm for acoustic fingerprinting written purely in C#.

  • https://github.com/AddictedCS/soundfingerprinting Is the library. It was the first thing I found and it seemed to do the job. I’m not a .NET guy so it’s implemented as a CLI tool that takes a wave file as input and spits out a list of timestamps.

    I’d love to share the code but that would mean getting into the business of publishing an ad blocker which is not something I personally have the bandwidth for.

  • revenut-app

    A web + mobile app (PWA) with Stripe integration for forecasting SaaS revenue

  • https://github.com/hbcondo/revenut-app

    I built this web + mobile app (PWA) written in React Native + TypeScript that does simple revenue forecasting for a SaaS that uses Stripe.

    Stripe's mobile app and others kinda do this already but some of their numbers can be inaccurate (as detailed in the repo's readme) so that made me open-source + solve an issue my own SaaS[1] has with Stripe.

  • remember

    Stash distractions away for later. (by Bogdanp)

  • A really simple keyboard driven reminder tool for macOS:

    https://github.com/Bogdanp/remember

  • sioyek

    Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on textbooks and research papers

  • Sioyek: a PDF viewer optimized for reading research papers and textbooks. https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek

    It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

  • personal-flight-tracker

    Simple nextJS app to track personal flights as I would like to not have 5 billion apps to track across providers

  • I got fed up with using loads of different apps to keep track of my flights while doing long term traveling trips so made a simple site to track them using the AirLabs free API.

    GitHub: https://github.com/PaulSinghDev/personal-flight-tracker

    Public site: https://personal-flight-tracker.vercel.app/no-key

  • entities

    Character Entities for HTML, CSS (content) and Javascript. (by oinam)

  • Over a decade ago, I gathered a simple webpage for our team to look up and use Character Entities in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Unexpectedly, that has become one of the most popular ‘tools & utilities’ amongst all the many things I sourced out in my career.

    Character Entities for HTML, CSS and Javascript: https://oinam.github.io/entities/

    Source (relocated a few times before this): https://github.com/oinam/entities/

    First published in early 2012: https://brajeshwar.com/2012/list-of-character-entities-for-h...

  • fort

    Fort Firewall for Windows

    I needed:

    - app groups to easily enable/disable group of programs

  • luaplsql

    LuaPlSql is a Lua Plug-In framework for PL/SQL Developer IDE

  • VisualFileSorter

    Visually Sort Files

  • webmultimeter

    Web Multimeter - Web Interface for UM-25C

  • btinhibitor

    A program to disable the screensaver when some Bluetooth device is nearby.

  • jdy25m-py

    A Python library for dealing with JDY-25M devices

  • prometheus-connectivity-exporter

    A network connectivity prober for Prometheus.

  • chargen2p

    2-Phase Character Generator Protocol

  • pygalaxybuds

    Configuration Library for Galaxy Buds Pro.

  • supernova

    A control plane for the Nebula overlay networking system. (by losfair)

  • I wrote a self-hostable control plane for Nebula (a Tailscale-like overlay networking tool), and have been using it for about a year: https://github.com/losfair/supernova

    Built this because existing solutions like ZeroTier and Tailscale are trying to be too "smart" (auto-selecting relays, auto-allocating IPs, etc.) and do not work well for complex network topologies.

  • app

    Share expenses, make it fair (by anacounts)

  • dirigera

    This repository provides an unofficial Python client for controlling the IKEA Dirigera Smart Home Hub.

  • I wrote a Python client for controlling the smart home hub from IKEA, Dirigera.

    https://github.com/Leggin/dirigera

    I use it for controlling my home via a telegram bot and logging climate data to a database for interesting plots.

  • betterletter

    Substitute alternative spellings of special characters (e.g. German umlauts [ae, oe, ue] and [ss]) with their correct versions (ä, ö, ü, ß).

  • meaning it not only replaces Umlauts and Eszett, it also knows when not to (Poeten), and handles arbitrary compound words. Write your text, slap it all into the tool, it spits out results instantly. The original text can use alternative spellings (ou, ae, ue, ss), which is ergonomic. Combined with tools like AutohotKey, GUI integration through a single keyboard shortcut is possible. See [0] for a similar example.

    A niche need I haven't yet come across someone else having as well! (just the amount of text explaining what it's all about is saying a lot in terms of specificity...)

    The tool now grew into a tree-sitter based (== language grammar-aware) text manipulation thing, mostly for fun. The bizarre German core is still there however.

  • kernel_tuner

    Kernel Tuner

  • I've created Kernel Tuner (https://github.com/KernelTuner/kernel_tuner) as a small software development tool, because I was writing a lot of CUDA and OpenCL kernels at the time. I didn't want to manually figure out what best thread block dimensions and work division among threads were on every GPU over and over again.

    The tool evolved quite a bit since the first versions. I'm also using it for testing GPU code, teaching, and it has become one of the main drivers behind a lot of the research that I do.

  • siefe.vim

    Vim search plugin

  • https://github.com/emilv2/siefe.vim Vim plugin based on fzf.vim, but with more options. i.e in the ripgrep command You can toggle case, --word, etc, with one keystroke. I use it every day at work, documentation is what is lacking the most now.

  • mess

    MESS (Macro Entity Scripting System): a Half-Life level compile tool. (by pwitvoet)

  • During the pandemic I got back to an old hobby, creating Half-Life levels. I found that certain things involved a lot of repetitive work, so I started working on some automation tools.

    For textures and sprites, I made WadMaker and SpriteMaker, which can convert a directory full of images (including Photoshop and Krita files) to the specific formats that HL uses: https://github.com/pwitvoet/wadmaker/

    For creating levels, I made an automation tool named MESS (Macro Entity Scripting System) that can do things like covering terrain with props, simplifying level scripting and automatically applying workarounds for known bugs: https://pwitvoet.github.io/mess/

    It's been very educational (and fun), learning about color, geometry and programming languages.

  • shellphone.app

  • https://github.com/m5r/shellphone.app

    I was halfway across the world when I needed to make a lot of phone calls to my bank back home. So I pulled up Twilio's docs and built this app to make phone calls and send SMS from anywhere.

    I tried monetizing it by selling it to digital nomads but this kind of problem is not recurring enough or painful enough to justify them paying for it

  • kubeconfig-bikeshed

    kubeconfig-bikeshed (kbs) is an opinionated tool to manage your kubeconfigs

  • I (recently) created kubeconfig-bikeshed, a small CLI application to manage the high number of kubeconfigs (configuration/credential files to access Kubernetes clusters) that I have to deal with on a daily basis. It was also a nice learning experience with Rust, and I have to say I was much more productive with it than I was expecting to.

    https://github.com/embik/kubeconfig-bikeshed

  • motion

    Motion, a software motion detector. Home page: https://motion-project.github.io/ (by Motion-Project)

  • https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack - started working on this as a wrapper over OpenAI's endpoints for another product and it gradually became this.

    Another project I worked on for my own use was a network isolated, lightweight video monitoring system. Around 5 years ago, I was looking to install a camera in our living room. I couldn't find anything I trusted that worked completely offline without some companion app pinging their servers. So I bought a basic IP camera on Amazon that supports rtsp and a raspberry pi. Created a fenced wifi network and added the camera to it.

    Had an FFmpeg process read camera stream on demand and write to local buffers. Wrote a simple python server to listen for incoming connections on a different interface and stream the video on API requests. Then built an android app that talks to the python server to stream video on demand.

    Also installed motion (https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion) on raspberry pi to detect motion in the video and store those snippets to local storage. With motion running, the adapter I was using wasn't delivering enough power resulting in storage occasionally unmounting and raspberry pi restarting taking the camera system offline. With motion detection disabled, the entire setup ran reliably for many years.

  • lldap

    Light LDAP implementation

  • I wrote LLDAP (https://github.com/lldap/lldap) after struggling to install and configure openLdap on my homelab.

  • thisismy

  • savethepictures

    Save my pictures in a redundant and secure way

  • It's a super simple time series data storage. You don't even have to register an account, just do "curl -X POST https://pushdata.io/[email protected]/temperature/47" and you've stored your first value. I use it a lot to log various stats about all the things I've built, like user signups or whatnot.

    Then I wanted to create simple crosswords with image clues to help my kids learn to read. That resulted in a crossword generator backend and a simple game: https://puzzlepirate.net

    Puzzle pirate is great, but I wanted to print the crosswords on paper also, so I slapped together https://crosswordcomputer.com. The UI is rather ugly (like Pushdata) but you can create pretty cool crosswords for kids with it.

    Then I wanted to create more flexible shields.io so I created https://supershields.io - basically a shields.io but with programmable (in Lua) logic for the shields you create. I'm not using it myself anymore though so not maintaining it very well and it seems there is something funny with the Lua execution right now. It is using AWS Lambda servers to run Lua scripts, perhaps they're not firing as they should or something. If someone wants to use it, get in touch and I'll see if I can get the Lua execution operational again :)

    I also wanted to backup private photos and videos from household phones to a USB memory on a local storage server (Raspberry Pi) and then have that server automatically back everything to the public cloud but encrypted (as I don't trust public cloud providers to keep my data safe forever). I couldn't find a good solution for this, so I wrote some shell scripts that do the trick: https://github.com/ragnarlonn/savethepictures

    My daughter was playing Minecraft too much, on our own server, and I created a small Python program to enforce "screen time" in Minecraft: https://github.com/ragnarlonn/mctimer

    I once needed to simulate broken DHCP clients and couldn't find a good tool to do so, so I wrote "dhcptool": https://github.com/ragnarlonn/dhcptool

    All of these taught me a lot, especially the later forays into full-stack development after having been pretty much clueless about frontend stuff for a long time (still clueless but at least I can create ugly UIs now).

  • PyCmd

    Improved interactive experience for Windows' cmd.exe

  • PyCmd: wrapper for Windows' CMD.exe to provide a modern, dramatically improved interactive experience while maintaining ~complete compatibility: https://github.com/horeah/PyCmd

    I started it many years ago for my own use, but it is an open source project and has aquired some public "audience" in the meanwhile.

    It has a recent Linux port (beta quality) which brings the same interactive improvements when working with bash.

  • break-aware

    a shell script that tracks the time since your last break

  • wrote a small shell script that prompts how long it’s been since my last break, using standby, locking and logins (tested on Ubuntu, would like to support others) https://github.com/svandragt/break-aware

  • Telik

    macOS app to track YouTube channels and playlists

  • https://github.com/agentcooper/telik

    I was tired of YouTube website UI, so I created a simple macOS app to track YouTube channels and playlists. It is called Telik and available as open source and for a small fee in Mac App Store.

  • webpub

    Give me a website, I'll make you an epub.

  • I like using my E-Reader to read things, and often "things" will be articles on the web.

    But I also like making annotations and like the reading app I use (KOReader) quite a lot, so firing up a browser would hurt the experience.

    So I made a script that turns websites into cleaned-up epub files that get synced over to my E-Reader:

    https://github.com/solarkraft/webpub

    It's deliberately engineered just far enough to be good enough for my use case :-)

  • openapi-commander

    Generate a Node.js command line tool from an OpenAPI definition

  • waveboxapp

    Wavebox, the revolutionary and feature-rich Chromium browser that's built for productive working across Google Workspaces, Microsoft Teams, ClickUp, Monday, Atlassian, Asana, AirTable, Slack, and every other web app you use to get work done.

  • Being a co-founder, I often have to wear lots of different hats and needed a way to better manage multiple identities in my browser. I tried Chrome profiles and Firefox containers, but both felt messy. Instead, I wrote my own browser called Wavebox. It started as an Electron app but after quickly finding all the limitations, dropped Electron and built directly on top of Chromium. We're now approaching Wavebox's 7th birthday and going from strength to strength!

    • A ‘sound change applier’ for my hobby of language construction, to simulate the process of historical sound change [https://bradrn.com/brassica/]

    • A small browser extension to save the full text of all webpages I visit, and a local client to search the database [not open-sourced, apologies!]

    The first two have gained a few other users since being released, but I’m pretty sure I’m still the one who uses them the most!

  • rmdb

    Imports IMDb datasets into a relational database for easy querying.

  • https://font2png.com to browse font-icons and export them as PNG, with background/foreground color. Usually you want SVG, but sometimes a PNG is better. I use it mostly to generate quick favicons. It was also fun to make it work completely client side with canvas.

    https://github.com/combatwombat/rmdb imports the IMDb database (at least the limited .tsv files they provide) into MySQL so you can query it. List the highest rated horror movies of the 90s, genre distribution by year etc. I made that mostly to c̶h̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶ help with https://www.reddit.com/r/GuessTheMovie, with limited success. Still fun though to SQL-query over all movies ever made.

    WEB: I wrote a news app (plain-text website) that provides byte-sized news and optimizes for skimmability (https://news.tatooine.club/).

    API: I needed to import indian mutual fund data into beancount, so I wrote up an API (https://mf.captnemo.in/) and wrote a small beancount plugin for that uses it.

    CLI: I wanted to download songs from youtube, but they were often stitched as complete albums - so I wrote a youtube-cue generator that generates cuesheets that can then be used to split and tag the yt-dlp downloaded audio file. (https://github.com/captn3m0/youtube-cue)

  • precise-three-fingers-drag

    MacOS-like three finger drag for Windows. Works on Precision Touchpads (PTP) only.

  • After using a macbook for a while, I became very accustomed to the "drag with three fingers feature" (found in accessibility settings, as I remember). But I am mostly use Windows, and after getting a new Windows laptop, I really missed that feature.

    There are apps for that, but I couldn't find any that is lightweight and able to get around some edge cases, like when while you drag with three fingers and let one finger up, it should let you scroll with two fingers, but let you to continue dragging if that was an accidental move and you put third finger back. And you have to address many such small details to have a seamless user experience with touch.

    So I wrote my own, and have been happy with it everyday since. It works with any Microsoft Precision Touchpad certified devices, so driver-independent, but I found that implementation of it can differ from vendor to vender, and it can malfunction on some. And it is very hard to debug without access to device, so I tested only on my laptop, and couple of my friends'. So due to it, I didn't try to make it widely available, and therefore it actually is for my own use. I'll leave the link if anyone want to try: https://github.com/klkvsk/precise-three-fingers-drag, but if anything, don't ask me, make a PR :)

  • rtpmidid

    RTP MIDI (AppleMIDI) daemon for Linux

  • rtpmidid[1]. After getting some hardware synthesizers and wanting to connect them without using a computer.. but being able to use them too using the computer I stumbled upon with rtpmidi the protocol and it ticked all the boxes I needed. I could connect all my gear to a raspberry pi, use ALSA sequencer to connect devices to each other with another of my programs AseqRC[2], and then use my synths from my DAW without touching any cable.

    So after a fast prototype I created rtpmidid and I'm quite happy on how it works.

    And it also helps with the USB ground loop noise that it seems unavoidable some times.

    For some time I had even two Orange Pis connected to two sections of my gear, using USB gadget support so my MPC One could speak rtpmidi. MPC One has support to connect as host to MIDI devices, but as guest (connect to the computer) only in controlled mode which is not what I needed to convert my MIDI tracks to my DAW.

  • scrolltabs-extension

    Navigate your tabs quickly with the mouse wheel in Firefox!

  • I initially created Npkill (https://npkill.js.org) for my own use because as a web developer I was always running out of disk space. When we launched it quickly became popular because it seems that not only we had that problem and today it is the most popular tool for that purpose.

    Another one I launched was Pill Reminder (https://zaldih.github.io/pill-reminder/). If you are taking something for a cold or medical treatment it allows you to easily swipe and note down when you have taken your medication and lets you know when you are due to take it next.

    ScrollTabs (https://github.com/zaldih/scrolltabs-extension) was born so soon after I migrated from chrome to firefox years ago and I missed being able to switch between tabs with the mouse scroll.

    + many others that I would like to prepare and make public for the future.

  • email-oauth2-proxy

    An IMAP/POP/SMTP proxy that transparently adds OAuth 2.0 authentication for email clients that don't support this method.

  • When it became clear many major email providers were going to require OAuth for IMAP/POP/SMTP access, I was pretty frustrated that I’d have to stop using clients/scripts that didn’t support this method.

    Rather than spending lots of effort on migration, or switching clients entirely, I made a local proxy so that any IMAP (or POP/SMTP) client can be used with a “modern” email provider, regardless of whether it supports OAuth 2.0 natively: https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy. No need for your client to know about OAuth at all.

    An offline Mandarin Chinese dictionary software tailored for learners focused on Traditional Chinese (Taiwanese Standard) with a specific emphasis on Taiwanese pronunciation (by HalfAnAvocado)

  • 4. only has Chinese to English, but no monolingual definitions which are preferable for advanced learners

    Thus I have decided to take things into my own hands and started developing the Traditional Taiwanese Mandarin Chinese dictionary I have always wished for that caters perfectly to my way of studying and my personal workflow. I've been dog-fooding it for a few weeks now and it feels great to finally have a tool that makes my studying routine more enjoyable and smoother!

  • cubedesk

    People really seemed to like the design, so I cleaned it up a bit and made it available to everyone. The site (https://cubedesk.io) has been free to use for 3 years and has 50k users.

    Most recently, I've been working on an email marketing platform to help me email those 50k users. I noticed that emailing all those people was expensive and tedious, so created and launched https://cc.dev

  • padm_exporter

    Prometheus exporter for Tripp Lite/Eaton PowerAlert Device Manager devices

  • I wrote a Prometheus exporter for metrics gathered from the air conditioning unit in my home lab. The A/C unit has a slot for a network management card (NMC) which is a tiny Linux machine that exposes a web interface and SNMP while communicating with the A/C. I wanted to just use SNMP for this but for some reason there isn't any useful data specific to the A/C being exported, only typical Linux machine data. I did some additional searching and found that there was an API available on the web interface and sought to just scrape that instead.

    Normally I would have written this kind of thing in Python since I'm more familiar with the language, but I wanted to take the plunge into Rust and this is the first project I created using it. There's still a couple bugs that I haven't gotten around to fixing like finding out why the Prometheus metrics descriptions don't get displayed in Grafana or finding out why the NMC itself just seems to need to be manually rebooted every few weeks. Other than that it's been working great.

  • example-http-express

    Commitspark example to expose the Commitspark GraphQL API over HTTP

  • Thanks for the pointer. Did you have a specific scenario in mind where this would be helpful?

    Tailcall looks like something that could go in front of my library as an orchestration gateway.

    However, as my library intentionally does not include any transport mechanism, you'd first have to expose it over HTTP (e.g. https://github.com/commitspark/example-http-express ). In my case, I actually have a couple of Next.js web apps where I load the library directly into the code instead and pass my queries to it without first going through HTTP.

  • sunburn.nvim

    A Neovim colorscheme emphasizing readability above all else.

  • A while back I read about the Oklab color space, and long story short I decided I wanted to create my own Neovim coloscheme. That led to sunburn.nvim[1], which aims to take advantage of the hue and brightness uniformity that Oklab provides.

    At first I was using lush.nvim to build sunburn.nvim, but quickly it became a hassle to only be able to specify colors via RGB or HSL. My initial thought was a PR to add Oklab support to lush, but that framework does so much that it was hard to see where to start. So I ended up writing polychrome.nvim[2], which is a dead simple micro framework in comparison to lush.nvim, but does enough to take care of all the boilerplate, and supports a bunch of color spaces (which are converted to RGB on the fly).

    I also wanted push notifications for when certain RSS feeds I follow were updated, because I suck at remembering to check in on things or check an RSS feed app. But I didn't want to pay for IFTTT or other bespoke solutions, so I wrote notifeed[3]. It's designed to run as a service on a server, and then check all your feeds at predetermined intervals and send the necessary webhooks based on your configuration. Feeds and clients are configured via the CLI and stored in a SQLite DB for simplicity.

  • Mikochi

    A minimalist file-manager with streaming capabilities

  • I've created Mikochi (https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi) for myself. It's a file manager for your personal server / NAS, that also allows you to stream files to VLC/MPV.

    Before creating Mikochi, I used to access my collection of movies through Jellyfin. Jellyfin has a really nice UI and does a ton of things like adding metadata, but I didn't use those things. I also didn't use their in-browser video player because it didn't work with H265. In addition to that, I wanted to easily manage the files without having to switch to sftp. Mikochi lets me easily create, delete, rename, download, and upload files (or whole directories).

    As a bonus, it only requires 26MB of RAM to run on my server.

  • Sniper

    Manifest V3 web extension for dynamic user specified actions (by adityarsuryavamshi)

  • Was just working on https://github.com/adityarsuryavamshi/Sniper which is a Manifest V3 extension which does dynamic user action execution without needing `userScripts` permissions.

    I was mostly interested in solving a very specific problem for myself (basically poll a website behind auth + 2fa and react/notify to changes) and since I also had recently gotten into frontend decided to also try out building extensions.

    I knew about Tampermonkey and such but had never used them, and I also wasn't sure if they would be long term viable with MV3 coming in. Moreover I also wanted to explore some way to keep options open in case chrome ended up being very heavy handed with extensions, in the process I discovered there are still a lot of things you can do if you really really wanted to bypass the current limitations.

    In the end though I personally decided to use Violentmonkey instead of this, but this could be an alternative direction for others who don't/can't use dev mode for extensions.

  • webhook-gitlab-nextjs-runner

    Go program that runs a NextJS app and responds to Gitlab's push-event webhook requests with a rebuild and restart of the app.

  • Fed up with copying and pasting information between different sources (spreadsheets, word processor documents, PDFs), and loathe to put on the straitjacket of an ERP, I created the following web apps and APIs that we use daily:

    1) Product data management system that generates 7-digit product codes based on the product category hierarchy and in a way that minimizes the probability of typos leading to picking the wrong product items, plus bundling of items. Data managed in NocoDB and exported into CSV and ODS.

    2) Product information view and search system using FastAPI and HTMX (for live search), with an async file watcher that triggers a re-loading of the data in the CSV from (1) whenever it's written anew, and provides simple views, tables, and GET endpoints for querying, as well as a parameter "xml=True" to make the data loadable using LibreOffice's FILTERXML(WEBSERVICE(...)) functions. Also, it calculates bundle prices, displays stock quantities from (3), and fetches relevant invoice lines from (4).

    3) Inventory view and search system in the same vein as (2), but the data store is an ODS spreadsheet we edit by hand whenever stock quantities change (up or down, either way). Also provides GET endpoints, just like (2)

    4) Invoice view and search system in the same vein as (3), in that the data store is an ODS spreadsheet in which we store invoice and invoice position information (together with pivot-table sheets). Again, it also provides GET endpoints.

    5) Company information system that polls the EU VIES database and my country's SOAP API for company information, stores it together with the NACE codes as JSON in an SQLite database, plus provides fields such as notes, customer number, etc., all editable using HTMX. Also provides GET endpoints and the ability to filter the set of companies by criteria such as NACE code, location, company age, etc.

    6) Quotation generation tool that provides a GET endpoint and uses (1) and (5) to generate print-to-PDF-ready quotations styled with Bootstrap5, plus generate a downloadable ODT file (using relatorio), and in any case generates/embeds a QR code with an order-tracking URL on the bottom-right corner of every page of the quotation, whether printed or ODT-ed.

    7) Order status tracking/display frontend in FastAPI that uses the ULID-based URL of quotations generated with (6) and pulls order status data from a Django backend (I used Django-admin to save time on building web UI). Example: https://track.tectra.gr/01H0-WAR-Y2W

    8) A python script that takes my photos from 2001, and uses darknet-yolov3 to generate a list of detected objects, the HERE Maps Reverse Geolocation API to link the GPS coordinates to landmarks, and then writes that information to the photo's database on Emby using Emby's API (which makes all my photos searchable at a good-enough state).

    9) (WIP) Automatic pricing recommendation API that uses information from some of the above to generate quotation price recommendation based on historical price levels per customer and segment, customer engagement patterns from invoices, etc.

    10) (WIP) Currently developing a Phoenix LiveView web app that downloads Linux kernel ChangeLogs, parses them into commits, extracts structured information and will eventually make them searchable by keyword, contributor, etc. Mainly a learning opportunity, but I'll eventually self-host it publicly.

    11) A Go program that runs a NextJS app and responds to Gitlab's push-event webhook requests with a rebuild and restart of the web app https://github.com/waseigo/webhook-gitlab-nextjs-runner

  • KoalaCards

    A language learning app to improve speaking and listening skills.

  • I was a Korean language major in college. A lot of the spaced repetition apps for memorizing vocabulary were missing features that are now possible because of LLMs. so far I am the only user of the app but I use it every day to help me prepare for a standardized Korean language assessment that I plan to take again next year:

  • clipzoomfx

    Side-project for extracting highlights from (mostly sports) videos

  • https://github.com/daltontf/clipzoomfx

    I wrote it to be able to extract exceptional plays from footage of my daughter's volleyball teams and be able to zoom in on each clip. Pretty much a minimal viable product.

  • cppaper

    Discontinued A static blog/site generator written in c++20.

  • Cppaper: https://github.com/Yrds/cppaper

    A static site/blog generator written in c++.

    I initially made it with markdown support for my blog but latter I've added also templates based on json for another project.

  • wang-aoc-cli

    Kevin Wang's CLI tool for advent of code

  • I've been making a CLI for advent of code ( https://adventofcode.com/ ) this week: https://github.com/VitamintK/wang-aoc-cli

    It's been satisfying!

  • dataplaneapi

    HAProxy Data Plane API

  • Nice! HAProxy has something similar: https://github.com/haproxytech/dataplaneapi

  • lsd

    LSD - line-square-dot: an addicting game (by franzenzenhofer)

  • yeah, but that glitching is also something that makes the game more fun, cause if the ball gets enclosed into an area, you can try to glitch yourself out of it.

    the very ugly MIT-like licensed code can be found here, and it is from a time when I thought it was fun to code my own little physics engine

  • coffee-pesto

    A nice clipboard manager for linux

  • 1. I made a nice unixy clipboard manager for linux.

    https://github.com/porridgewithraisins/coffee-pesto

    Should get around to publishing it to the aur, but haven't yet.

    It has support for all types of data, and you can put any custom information you want programmatically into the search index for the search feature. By default you can search by content, application name or datetime. Has a gui in gtk, but it's pretty modular so you can write your own simple rofi script for it if you wanted. It just stores stuff in a single folder so you can sync it by syncing the folder.

    2. I made a simple tool that turns markdown into html+css in the exact way github does it with darkmode and everything. It uses the github web api to convert the markdown, and then uses the exact css as well (courtesy sindre sorhus' package)

    https://github.com/porridgewithraisins/scripts/blob/master/g...

    3. I made a simple colorpicker using gtk that copies the color to clipboard directly.

  • ntfy

    Send push notifications to your phone or desktop using PUT/POST

  • Kind of similar, in the early days of COVID, I accidentally discovered that my state's website would have test results available several hours before they sent out the "view your results" email. So I made a script that would check the site every five or ten minutes and then ping me as soon as the result changed to something besides PENDING.

    In the course of that I stumbled on https://ntfy.sh/ which solved the notification problem without needing Twitter, and I've used it since then to let me know when long-running scripts complete.

  • dayplan

    A utility to plan and track your time.

  • TLDR: https://github.com/ja-he/dayplan is a TUI calendar planning/time tracking tool I made.

    Early in my University time I always felt most productive when sketching out my day in Google calendar, then keeping up with that plan and if necessary, adjusting it.

  • bbb-game-list

    Enhanced list of games from various sites with BGG data

  • - couldn't find one on play store that would allow quickly adding/subtracting specific amount of hp. All I've tried could either add/subtract by 1 (annoying with bigger numbers, like 24) or set specific amount (I have a phone, which is capable of doing the math, so why would I do it?).

  • postgresql-log-viewer

  • - I attend various board gaming places with sometimes crappy list of games on their website (just names, nothing else - like player count...), so I wrote my own site, which download's games from these sites and enriches them with info from bgg (updated via cronjob once a week via PR)

  • kube-ecr-secrets-operator

    Kubernetes Operator for managing AWS ECR (Elastic Container Registry) secrets

  • I wrote a simple Kubernetes operator for renewing AWS container registry (ECR) credentials in several namespaces. The credentials expire every 12h, and the Kubernetes secret for pulling the images from ECR need to be renewed whenever a workload is to be created/updated. The operator takes care of renewing the Kubernetes secret every 12h in all the configured namespaces: https://github.com/zak905/kube-ecr-secrets-operator

  • doh

    Docker-based development environments (by hexfaker)

  • I've built a wrapper for docker to simplify containerized development and interactive usage. It's similar to Microsoft DevContainers, but with different accents, and doensn't require you to use vscode.

    It allows to easily spin up the SSH server inside container for Pycharm or VScode remote development, automatically sets a UID\GID inside container to the same as outside to help with permissions problem when files created in container are created as root.

  • Algebrisk

  • On Windows, my most common use of the start menu is to tap the windows key and start typing out some math. The issue is that Windows isn't actually solving that math locally, but showing you the Bing search results for the expression. This has annoying latency, means you need an internet connection, and doesn't work for expressions that look like legitimate searches (ex 12345-2345 looks more like a zip code than math). I ended up building a lightweight desktop app with Rust/Sciter/JS that listened on Win+` and gave instant solutions. Was more of a fun exploration of the windows apis, but I easily use this app several times a week.

  • QANotebook

    Effortlessly generate and store comprehensive software testing reports directly in your browser.

  • A few years ago I was working as performance tester and had to do lots of reporting, which involved reporting JMeter results into Confluence. We had to merge multiple tables and compare them over time. It was quite painful.

    To facilitate this I came up with an idea of an online web app allowing testers to produce testing reports in more structured way. For example, you can quickly merge a few tables, remove unnecessary columns, copy as markdown. Also it includes a few other features such as testing JSONPath expressions, creating decision tables and checklists.

    It took a while to finish, but now https://qanotebook.com/ exists :)

    Discontinued Toggle ‘declared and not used’ errors in Go.

  • i find it pretty annoying to create fake variable usages for unused variables in go. I made a cli [1] tool for toggling ‘declared and not used’ errors in go on and off, so when you’re messing around with code and end up with a few unused variables here and there, you can run code through the tool and it will create fake usages for you. Running the code again will return the same code but with fake usages removed. I thought it might be useful for someone and i posted it on reddit and the mailing list, no one found it useful. I also made a vs code [2] extension as an example of integrating the tool with an ide thinking this might help others build a simple wrapper for their

    WASM port of libPGF for PGF image decoding

  • I'm in the process of creating a web gallery for my Digikam [0] photo collection. The workflow is:

    1. I organize all my photos in my computer, with albums, tags, faces, geolocation, etc.

    2. The photos and the Digikam DB (SQLite) get replicated to my home server (using Syncthing, but anything would work).

    3. Changes are automatically visible in the running webapp. I can access it anywhere, especially useful on mobile while away.

    I have an MVP almost done, just had trouble with Digikam's thumbnails because they use an extremely obscure image format, PGF [1]. I wrote a WebAssembly version using emscripten that I called webpgf [2] and am now in the process of integrating with the web gallery. However I'm concerned about CPU and RAM use in the browser, so I will probably have to end up reencoding the thumbnails in the backend.

    I will make a public announcement once the project is officially launched. It will be a bit crude at first, as it'd made to scratch my own itch, but I hope it will be useful to more people.
