  • json-resume-template

    JSON-based standard for resume

  • I'm kind of a JSON maximalist because I find it really simple and havent put too much thought into it.

    I'd also like to shout out

  • RSS-Bridge

    The RSS feed for websites missing it

  • If you go the self-hosted route you can also put RSS-Bridge on the same host to locally generate RSS feeds for a lot of sources that don't have RSS feeds like Twitter https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

  • twitch-shell

    Discontinued A command line interface to Twitch.tv

  • I post my list of subscriptions to my blog in OPML format: https://github.com/nathan-contino/nathan-contino.github.io/b... (github link, so you can preview it).

    If you like bicycles and simple tech stuff, you might enjoy.

  • Readrops

    Android multi-services RSS client

  • I tried using a local-only RSS reader after ditching Feedly, but I found myself missing the ability to easily switch between devices.

    I ended up setting up a FreshRSS[0] instance which I've been quite happy with so far. It provides the Google Reader API, which is still supported by a lot of FOSS mobile RSS readers (I picked Readrops[1]).

  • 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.

  • rss-digest-flask

    Convert a source RSS feed into a periodic digest RSS feed.

  • I'm also working on a tool to do this: https://github.com/ZacharyTalis/rss-digest-flask/

    Though I'm running into a stubborn issue where FreshRSS doesn't parse the date correctly... so your mileage may vary.

  • openring-rs

    :chains: a webring for static site generators written in Rust
