  • png-db

    Database for PNG images

    Long time ago, I did sth similar, i.e. made a screenshot every few seconds, with the purpose to automatically extract information from it, e.g. how long I was using some app.

    I wrote a PNG DB to split PNG images into many blocks and have each block stored in a DB. If there are several equal blocks, it is only stored once. Via a hash table, the lookup for such blocks is made fast. With this PNG DB, I have a compression rate of about 400-500%. https://github.com/albertz/png-db

    Some of the scripts I used to analyze the screenshots are here, but in the end, it was not really so successful and reliable: https://github.com/albertz/screenshooting

    In the end, that lead to another project, where I just was storing that information more directly, i.e. what application was in the foreground, what file was open. https://github.com/albertz/timecapture

  • second_capture

    This is a simple DIY tool that uses the Windows desktop API to capture display output, once every second or every few second, as a DirectX texture and compress it on the GPU directly to h265.

    Alright, here you go.

  • DownloadNet

    Discontinued 💾 dn - offline full-text search and archiving for your Chromium-based browser. [Moved to: https://github.com/dosyago/dn]

    This does look cool. It reminds me of a recent discovery I made. The other day, while trying to recover some disk space, I found a giant file on my hard disk. It turned out to be a nine-hour screen recording from almost a year ago. I had no idea it existed, so I must’ve accidentally left the screen recording on. Watching it was fascinating; it was like a window into my thought process at that time. You could see how I was researching something online. It was almost like a play-by-play, akin to re-watching a sports performance – very instructive and surprisingly useful.

    In a similar vein to what you’ve done, but focusing specifically on web browsing, I’ve created a tool called ‘DownloadNet.’ It archives for offline use and fully indexes every page you visit. Additionally, it can be configured to archive only the pages you bookmark, offering another mode of operation. It’s an open-source tool, so feel free to check it out: https://github.com/dosyago/DownloadNet

  • BrowserBox

    🌀 Browse the web from a web page. Remote browser isolation. For security, privacy and more! By https://dosyago.com

    Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)

    I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.

    Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1

  • WebKit

    Home of the WebKit project, the browser engine used by Safari, Mail, App Store and many other applications on macOS, iOS and Linux.

  • crux

    Cross-platform app development in Rust (by redbadger)

    Jason - great work here. Your Swift code looks like mine :) on this, some folks in the UK have created Crux - an interesting abstraction layer for mobile apps using Rust. Might provide some ideas for optimisation/ipc. https://github.com/redbadger/crux

  • Kiilogger

    C# based keylogger for general purpose keyboard logging and computer usage debugging :stuck_out_tongue:
