  • uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

    Filters to block and remove copycat-websites from DuckDuckGo, Google and other search engines. Specific to dev websites like StackOverflow or GitHub.

  • Quenhus posted his custom uBlockOrigin filter list for dealing with those sites popping up in search. https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

    I'm trying that now. But previously I was using the uBlackList Firefox extension with some block list subscriptions. https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist

  • adm-zip

    A Javascript implementation of zip for nodejs. Allows user to create or extract zip files both in memory or to/from disk

  • > Especially considering "admzip" is a misspelling as you admit?

    I don't think this is true. A quick look at https://github.com/cthackers/adm-zip

    > var zip = new AdmZip("./my_file.zip");

    It's entirely possible that a person could be querying the exact variable name "admzip" for a variety results that should only be code snippets of the by-convention "AdmZip" variable name with no concern for the package name "adm-zip".

    I know this could be a case because I do this kind of programmatic search all the time, and in fact I remember specifically searching the web for "AdmZip" and not "adm-zip" a few years ago.

  • digraph

    Organize the world

  • This was kind of the idea behind a side project I started a few years ago:

    https://digraph.app/

    https://blog.digraph.app/2020-06-13-democratization-of-searc...

    I definitely think crowd-sourcing and a well-conceived reputation management system that can influence results are good next areas for exploration.
