Looking for a reliable partner to bring your project to the next level? Whether it’s development, design, security, or ongoing support—I’d love to chat and see how I can help.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 ;)
