For the longest time, a kiosk meant one thing: a screen bolted to a wall, waiting for someone brave enough to poke it. A menu. A button or two. If you were lucky, a card reader. The whole device sat there passively, doing nothing until a human chose to interact with it, and most humans […]

You know that feeling when you click a link in a project’s README and it 404s right in your face? Me too. Broken links are the quiet rot of the web — they creep into documentation, blog posts, and large codebases without anyone noticing, and they make otherwise solid content look abandoned. The fix is […]

OCR used to be boring. You threw a scanned page at Tesseract, got back a wall of text with a few mangled characters, and moved on with your life. That was the whole genre for about fifteen years. Then vision language models showed up and ate the entire category. In the last eighteen months, document […]

WHAT? cubicFUSION’s Elementor Menu turns WordPress nav menus into design surfaces. Six widgets cover the range — a mega menu that drops full Elementor templates into any item, a hamburger menu with five panel layouts from a simple slide-out to a modal-style fullscreen overlay and an off-canvas mode that scales the page back into a […]

Design tools have quietly become one of the most locked-in parts of a modern team’s workflow. The files live in someone else’s cloud, access is billed per editor seat, and the moment you stop paying, the door to your own work can close behind you. For a small studio or an internal team, that model […]

Last update: 25.07. I know a lot of text, but that is how I process ideas and iterate fast! You add an animated GIF to a Penpot prototype, open it in Google Chrome, and… nothing. The GIF sits there like it’s waiting for written permission to move. Then you wiggle the cursor or interact with […]

Spend a lot of time with Vikunja (cubicFUSION Vikunja Importer) lately, one thing that it is currently missing is an easy way to style the interface. Especially the task view is just one long page without any clear section separation. LET’S TWEAK IT Here a quick starting point to tweak the style quickly. You can […]

File synchronization is usually treated as a cloud problem. Put the folder in Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud, wait for everything to upload, and hope the storage quota, privacy model, transfer speed, and client support all line up with your workflow. That works for office documents. It gets awkward fast when you are syncing […]

An Elementor widget that renders a fully configurable honeycomb grid. Each hexagon cell carries an icon or image, title, text, and a link. The grid supports two orientations, responsive column and size controls, rounded corners, hover effects, hover-reveal modes, per-cell style overrides, a media-gallery source with lightbox, auto-fit columns, background fill, and drop shadows. Content […]

My hexagon obsession (full disclosure) I have been obsessed with hexagons for years. Like, unreasonably obsessed. My logo is literally a hexagon. People in my life have started calling me the bee keeper, and honestly I’ve stopped arguing about it. So yeah, when it came to picking a topic I actually care about — this […]

Update: 06 / 2026 If you have spent any time building complex data filtering interfaces over the past decade, you likely relied heavily on the legendary jQuery QueryBuilder. It was the absolute gold standard for creating deeply nested AND/OR rules and condition-matching user interfaces. But let’s face it: in 2026, forcing a massive jQuery dependency […]

Update: 06 / 2026 – former finder.js article Ever found yourself struggling to display deeply nested folders, complex data hierarchies, or multi-tiered categories in a clean way? If you’ve ever used the Finder app on macOS, you already know the perfect design pattern for this: Miller Columns. It’s a fantastic, cascading multi-column interface that lets […]

Update: 06 / 2026 If you’ve ever tried building a dense, data-heavy web app, an administrative dashboard, or an IDE-style workspace, you know that managing screen real estate is a nightmare. For years, Golden Layout was the undisputed king of web-based window management, letting you smash together multi-window workspaces with tabs, resizable split views, and […]

Big Snagit fan, but for some quick screenshots I needed something more flexible. This is a simple screenshot extension, that uses the native chrome APIs. Work in progress, but does its job ;)

If you’ve ever wrestled with WordPress email — patching together plugins, fighting Outlook rendering bugs, or explaining to a client why their transactional mail looks nothing like the design — you know the frustration. I got fed up. So I built my own solution: cubicFUSION Email Builder, a drag-and-drop email editor living right inside the […]

Building a homelab is one of those things that starts with a Raspberry Pi on your desk and ends with you drilling holes in the wall at 11pm. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably hit that inflection point — the pile of switches, NAS boxes, and mini PCs is growing, and it’s time to get […]

Designing HTML emails in 2026 is still, somehow, one of the most frustrating things a developer can do. Table layouts, inline styles, Outlook’s stubbornness — it’s a timeless nightmare. That’s why drag-and-drop email builders exist, and why the open source ones are getting genuinely good. Whether you want something you can embed in your own […]

Here’s the thing about the macOS menu bar: Apple gives you zero control over it. Your apps just pile in from the right, squeezing together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and you either live with it or you don’t. There’s no padding, no grouping, no breathing room. Just a wall of tiny icons staring […]

PDF operations are one of those recurring pain points that never fully go away. You need to fill a contract template, strip and rewrite document metadata before archiving, generate an invoice from an HTML template, and stamp every page with a branded header. The default answer is a SaaS API subscription that charges per document […]

Generating PDFs on a server is one of those tasks that sounds simple until you actually sit down to do it. HTML-to-PDF rendering drifts between browsers, LibreOffice headless mode is finicky to install, and most SaaS solutions charge per page once you hit volume. Gotenberg solves this cleanly: a single Docker container that bundles headless […]
