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 […]
I already wrote about FAQ schema in 2026 — short version: it’s still useful, just not the rich-snippet darling it once was. But that piece got a lot of follow-up questions like “okay, what about all the OTHER schema types?” Fair question. Here’s the deal in 2026: Google quietly killed seven more schema types’ rich […]
Here’s a problem every UI dev hits eventually. You’ve got a sticky nav, a floating chevron, a fixed-position button — something that sits on top of your page and doesn’t scroll with it. The page looks great. Then someone scrolls through a dark hero section into a white content area and suddenly your white chevron […]
Font licensing is wild. Proxima Nova — one of the most-used typefaces on the entire web — will run you $65 per style, and a full family license easily clears $300. Futura? Brandon Grotesque? Circular (yes, Spotify’s font)? We’re talking hundreds of dollars before you’ve typed a single character. For personal projects, indie dev work, […]
If you have ever embedded an audio player on a podcast site, a music portfolio, or a media archive, you have probably noticed that pretty rendered waveform behind the playhead. Libraries like Wavesurfer.js and Peaks.js can draw those visuals on the client, but decoding a 60-minute MP3 in the browser is slow, memory-hungry, and unreliable […]
Here’s a question that’s been bouncing around dev Slacks and SEO Twitter for the past year: should you bother serving Markdown to AI agents and crawlers? Is it actually worth the effort, or is it just another shiny standard that’ll quietly die like so many before it? Short answer? Yeah, it’s worth doing. The longer […]
Managing multiple social media accounts is exhausting. Between juggling different platforms, scheduling posts at optimal times, and keeping up with analytics, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Commercial tools like Buffer and Hootsuite work well but come with hefty subscription fees and feature limitations. Enter Postiz – an open-source, self-hosted social media scheduling platform that puts […]

So here’s the thing — I stream with portrait NDI sources on a landscape canvas, and zooming in on a specific part of the frame in real time has always been a pain. You either bake it into the scene or do awkward hotkey gymnastics. I wanted something more live, more intuitive, more point-and-shoot. So […]
