Day 50 of building in public.
While waiting for additional approvals, I started working on a new design for a feature and have already prepared a high-level architecture.

Day 49 of building in public.
I spent today polishing the landing page and refining the back-end services, with a laser focus on media preparation and image optimization.
The big win? I converted most images to WebP format. This simple switch dramatically cuts file sizes while preserving visual quality. The result: faster page loads and a smoother user experience.
Sometimes the best improvements happen behind the scenes.

Started using singularity desktop as my main desktop as a final test before making it public 😎
It's working well even some bugs are still there 🥹

Day 48 of building in public.
The main focus for today was the landing page, bugs, and tech debt. I also prepared some documentation about services and the connections between the architecture overview.
I hope to receive some approvals in the next few days and finally launch.
Fingers crossed!

A while ago, I created a Figma plugin, and I haven't checked it in a while. To my surprise, it has grown organically.

I'm excited to announce that ScratchBook is now available as a free download on the Mac App Store!

There are some weird quirks with gooseRSS. But I'm testing a few solutions over the next few days.
Day 47 of building in public.
A bit of a change in environment, a few hours worked from a cafe shop, time moved so fast, fixed a few bugs, and improved UI with information about using AI features.
It was a good experience, I would definitely repeat it.

It's so great to have a standard like POSIX...
locations of explicit_bzero by platform:
linux: string.h if __USE_MISC is defined
freebsd: strings.hif __BSD_VISIBLE is defined
openbsd: string.h if __BSD_VISIBLE is defined
haiku: bsd/string.h
alpine: string.h if _GNU_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE is defined
macOS doesn't appear to have it, anyone know what to use?
On windows we'll be using SecureZeroMemory.
Any other os's i'm missing?
Day 46 of building in public.
Happy Monday,
This weekend, I focused on fixing bugs and testing the production environment.
I also finished a new landing page. I still need to update some components, but overall, it looks pretty good.

I’ve made a pty wrapper for detaching from long running processes: https://github.com/myobie/pty
I prefer this over tmux or zellij – only keep long running processes that matter, not a bunch of random incidental bashes and such. Uses xterm/headless so it works with anything, even vim.
I’m also working on a websocket api for the pty server… if you have any ideas for what you’d want to see there then let me know. #development #shell #pty
Ohh wow, I did not know there was a fork, I was looking into Garage as an alternative, but this is better

I have way too many items in my Nextcloud Tasks app. Fun #selfhosting stuff, #AntennaPod and #OpenPodcastAPI things and simply annoying household tasks. Would love to have an Android app that goes through them, asks me how much time and energy I have, and then proposes some things I could do.
So if anyone's looking for a (vibe)coding project…

Over the last week I've been adding loads of new features to #Elefeed. I started the project because I wanted a way to filter people I follow and #hashtags in separate views.
I really love having the ability to reduce the noise and get to what I want to see.

If you have any feedback or features I'd love to hear them as well!

Unfortunately, ScratchBook is still waiting for review. It's taking much longer than Apple claims is the average for 90% of submitted apps.

Can someone recommend me a good exchange rates API, probably hosted in Europe?
Not long ago, I was visiting a website of some open source project, and they were advertising their own exchange rates API. But I can’t remember the project or a website address. =(
Help.
