My 2024 review

1. heureka

   1 2 5 9.4 Go

   Security and compliance management

   

   2024 has been a year of significant transitions and new beginnings. Perhaps the most noteworthy change came in my professional life, where I stepped into a more software engineering-focused role. This transition brought an exciting opportunity to contribute to a large open-source project - something that has opened new horizons for learning and collaboration.

4. GNU Emacs

   3 251 4,592 10.0 Emacs Lisp

   Mirror of GNU Emacs

   

   While embracing analog tools, I've also refined my digital organization using ORG mode in Emacs. The system has evolved to become more structured and efficient.

6. gptel

   5 28 2,235 9.6 Emacs Lisp

   A simple LLM client for Emacs

   

   As a premium user, I work directly with the interface rather than the API. While I occasionally use Ollama (integrated into Emacs via gptel), Claude remains my primary AI assistant.

7. github-orgmode-tests

   6 252 160 2.7

   This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files

   Infinity (reddit client) If you use reddit a lot this app offers you the most seamless experience You can customize your feed with filters, themes and more to tailor your reading experience No ads! What I like most is the "Hide Read Posts" which allows you to easily check new posts (no infinite scrolling anymore)

11. mermaid

    9 156 77,220 9.9 TypeScript

    Generation of diagrams like flowcharts or sequence diagrams from text in a similar manner as markdown

    

    My "Documentation as Code" series took an unexpected turn. While I initially was a Plantuml advocate, I found myself gravitating more and more towards Mermaid charts (also after having to write some ADRs where, of course, I've added some diagrams). Its seamless integration with GitHub - automatic rendering in Markdown documents 😎 - proved to be a killer feature.

12. k3s

    10 312 29,089 9.7 Go

    Lightweight Kubernetes

    

    Start with small-scale experiments using k3s/k3d

13. htmx

    11 641 43,975 9.7 JavaScript

    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

    

    I'd definitely love to do something front-end related and therefore I'd like to play a little bit with htmx. But first I need an idea for a small application. This way I plan to code again in Golang (this year I didn't manage to code anything useful).

14. d2

    12 98 20,092 9.7 JavaScript

    D2 is a modern diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams.

    

    This year I've started writing about several documentation techniques (as code) in my Documentation as Code series. I definitely want to add at least D2Lang to it.
