This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition What I Built I built MatrixRainView, an open-source Android library that allows developers to easily add a fully customizable Matrix-style digital rain effect to their applications. The goal behind this project was simple: m
A translated Polish subscription screen ships. QA signed off. A user on the 3-month plan sees "Otrzymaj 3 miesięcy dostępu Premium" — and it reads wrong, the way "3 childs" would in English. Grammatically, it should be "Otrzymaj 3 miesiące dostępu Premium." Same English source, same intended meaning
Right now the developer community seems fascinated (if not outright obsessed) with agentic coding. That wave is real, and it will heavily impact how we build software. But let's not forget there are other topics worth attention. Here, the focus is something less fashionable: sensitive permissions on
Disclosure: I maintain Lantunnel. It is Apache-2.0 and the source is linked at the end. Every self-hoster hits the same wall. The NAS is at home. The GPU box is at the office. Ollama is on the desktop you walked away from. All of them sit behind NAT, and none of them belong on the public internet.
Under-the-hood breakdown of Huawei’s “Pure HarmonyOS” SDK for engineers and architects. For the past decade, mobile operating system architecture has been dominated by two paradigms: Android’s JVM-based, garbage-collected model, and iOS’s Darwin/Mach kernel with Swift/Objective-C. Huawei’s Harmony
What do you do when Claude Code proposes one solution, Codex a different one, and Gemini a third? The usual move is to pick an agent up front and take whatever it produces. Orca changes that dynamic: it runs all three at once, each isolated in its own git worktree, and lets you compare the results a
Hi everyone, I wanted a fast, privacy-focused way to track equipment, tools, and inventory using physical NFC tags and QR codes without handing my data over to a third-party SaaS cloud. So, I built an app called GridStorage. A quick note on how it was built: I used AI to help (of course) code this,
Every "build in public" thread and every YouTube growth guru tells you the same thing: pick the smallest possible surface, ship the lowest-effort thing that gets the biggest effect, validate, iterate. It's good advice. For this project I did almost the exact opposite — on purpose — and I want to be
Three seasons, thirty-six parts, one clinic app — and a meter that ran the whole time. Every part of the ClinicLive trilogy ended with a 💸 box, every retro added its season up, and every number came from the build log rather than from memory. This post puts all of it in one place: what the whole thi
Your app works. Then a user opens it in a second tab, and things start going wrong in ways that never show up in testing. Both tabs poll the server, so your request volume doubles for one user. Both hold a WebSocket, so your connection count is wrong and your server thinks you have twice the traffi
On September 3rd I launched Vesper, a cross-platform Christian prayer app for Android and iOS, as my entry in the RevenueCat 2026 Shipaton. This is not just a basic app thrown together quickly for this context, though: I have spent months building it and iterating on the features and design, as I am
