2025
Collection to side projects some guy has made, sometimes sold since 2009. I do stuff like this, more reason to publicize and share my projects
Whoa thats a cool color picker. Wide gamut color picker in Safari
Help I was looking for regarding Rails encrypted creds
Great breakdown of a Indie game's path to market
Using native popover with Turbo
"I have no doubt the open source technology community is capable of producing great technologies with or without big tech funding. But will it be able to "productize" them and drive large scale adoption? I have my doubts but time will tell."
Why can't open source product-ize (in hopefully healthy ways)? A question for further pondering. Marketing comes to mind, but I suspect its a "rest of the owl" pareto type problem.
Seems perfect for the kids, offline learning station
Lovely DIY audio player with ESP32
Always forget the name of ScreenStudio but since its subscription based, gonna bookmark this to try next time
Great playground for testing web UI themes, fonts, and other combos
Animated UI components from all over the, I want to build all these
Good breakdown of Actions continue-on-failure, which has some non-obvious behaviors regarding workflow pass/fail
"We never stopped manufacturing, we just stopped employing people.
> We don’t have the infrastructure to manufacture
That's trivially false given we're the second-largest manufacturer in the world. We just don't want to employ people, hence why we can't make an iphone or refine raw materials.
The actual issue is that our business culture is antithetical to a healthy society. The idea of employing Americans is anti-business—there's no willingness to invest, or to train, or to support an employee seen as waste. Until business can find some sort of reason to care about the state of the country, this will continue.
Of course, the government could weigh in, could incentivize, could subsidize, could propagandize, etc, to encourage us to actually build domestic industries. But that would be a titantic course reversal that would take decades of cultural change."
Really hits the nail on the head about the attitudes that underlay the tech layoffs, AI hype, and now attempts to re-industrialize. The current business mindset is that people are a disadvantage.
Custom variation on dithering algorithms with a great explanation of error diffusion.
The indie web only needs to care about indie web, that's the point.
Color palette starting point, bookmarking for future color palette generator
"... I made a note in single html file. This does not require a separate membership or installation of the software, and if you download and modify an empty file, you can modify and read it at any time, regardless of online or offline. It can be shared through messengers such as Telegram, so it is also suitable to share contents with long articles and images. It is also possible to host and blog because it is static html file content."
Local First may not be enough, ownable programs require control over changes, which web distributed software lacks.
"I think this is a good example of leveraging the grain of the web."
Some great usage examples of new view transitions on small HTML pages. Along the same lines of back to basics sites I'm playing with on my site
I've come to really appreciate a language itself sets lots of conventions and standards. It's hard to get on board though, so ultimately a tradeoff
"In total, they found 29 undocumented commands, collectively characterized as a "backdoor," that could be used for memory manipulation (read/write RAM and Flash), MAC address spoofing (device impersonation), and LMP/LLCP packet injection."
Edit: Headline got me, frustrating as someone trying to keep up with these to have to dig through comments to get accurate information. I tried to be diligent and carefully read the article, but the outcome was still lesser than skimming the commments.
Previous: Well that sucks. Consumer level security might all be just theater.
Love this hardware project, gonna attempt something like this with an SD card extender on the home server
"...making a whole new web browser from the ground up is effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web standards complexity against any newcomers."
"architecture is not a service industry (not a defense). architecture is an agent for directing the future (an offense). architecture must act beyond traditional roles (redefine practice). architecture must project beyond the known (fantastic)."
Interesting website, and interesting philosophy of design / architecture actively steering instead of housing and facilitating.
Collection of models and measurements with accurate real world sizes
This format of interviewing experts with on the ground experience while the podcast hosts pop in an out is a great format.
More transparent methods of messing with browser fingerprinting. And details on different methods of identifying browsers.
Beautiful story of Twin Peaks composer sharing David Lynch's direction creating the theme song. Love how Lynch wants *exactly* the moment they captured and no further polish.
