and let’s create something amazing together!
You can SSH into a server and move files around with raw scp and sftp commands, but the moment you manage more than a couple of machines you start wishing for something friendlier — without giving up the terminal. That’s exactly the gap the new wave of TUI clients fills: full-screen file explorers and SSH […]
Picking a color picker sounds like a five-minute decision, and then you open a dependency tree full of jQuery, React wrappers and “lightweight” libraries that weigh more than your whole app. If you just need a solid color picker that adds nothing to your bundle except the picker itself, you’ve come to the right place. […]
Markdown is perfect right up until a second person touches it. On your own, a folder of .md files is the best documentation system ever invented. Add four colleagues and suddenly you’ve got three different heading styles, a README that links to a domain that expired in 2023, and Steve, who writes every sentence in […]
The short version: you do not need to pay for icons. Three permissively licensed sets cover nearly every project I touch — Tabler Icons (6,100+ general icons, MIT), Phosphor Icons (a huge family in six weights, MIT), and Lucide (1,808 minimal stroke icons, ISC). Need something specific that is not in those three? SVG Repo […]
Live streaming today means signing up for Twitch, YouTube Live, or another Big Tech platform. You get an audience, sure, but you also get ads you cannot control, algorithmic recommendations pushing viewers toward competing streams, rules that change overnight, and a chat system that ties your community to someone else’s database. For a hobbyist streamer, […]
Let’s be real about email: it’s out of control. The average person gets over 120 emails a day. Newsletters you forgot you subscribed to, receipts from three years ago, notifications from every app that ever got your address, and somewhere in there — buried under all of it — maybe four or five messages from […]
Everybody writes about Markdown editors. I did too, in The Best Open Source Markdown Editors for Writing and Beyond. But here’s the thing nobody tells you: the editor is the least interesting part of the whole stack. It’s the moment after you hit save where Markdown gets genuinely wild. Your .md file can be rendered […]
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 […]
Judge.me made headlines in September 2025 when it dropped WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce and most other platforms to become a Shopify-only app. For Shopify merchants that move was actually a vote of confidence: one of the most-installed review apps on the Shopify App Store is now all-in on your platform. But “all-in” doesn’t mean “the only […]
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 […]
