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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
