Over the past few weeks, I've been spending more time refining Galaxy Movies rather than adding entirely new features. For anyone who hasn't come across it yet, Galaxy Movies is my movie and TV discovery project. It helps people find titles and chec...

I’m Federico, a visual designer and full-stack developer. About six months ago, I had an idea I kept coming back to: could I turn documents and datasets into connected knowledge, explore the relationships visually, and ask questions without sending ...

My portfolio has a section that runs curl -I on itself while you watch. Not a screenshot of headers I pasted in last year and forgot to update. The page fetches its own URL, reads the response headers off it, and prints each one ON or missing, right ...

Opus Clip, Submagic and Vidyo all work the same way: you upload a long video, the AI scores every moment for "virality", and you get the clips it likes. That is fine until you want something specific. When I am clipping a podcast for a client I don't...

I'm Shawn Sun, a front-end engineer, and I just put a fancy text converter online. This is a developer community, so here are the parts that were fun to build instead of a feature list. !The converter's home page: one text box, category chips, and a...

I kept losing afternoons after an article was already live. Pinterest still needed useful pins from that URL: more than one angle, vertical creatives that match the destination, titles that stay honest to the link, and a queue that does not dump twe...

The Xbox wrote 8 GiB of persistent data. I still couldn't call the experiment successful. The bytes were there, but the operation failed because a completely different part of the system had timed out. In another test, the worker correctly refused ...

I recently added a chatbot feature to Galaxy Movies, my movie discovery app. The idea came from a problem I run into all the time: there are too many movies to choose from, and browsing doesn’t always help. You can scroll through trending lists, ge...

XCP — Chapter 5 In the previous chapters, I wrote about turning an Xbox Series X into a programmable execution target, building a virtual machine inside its sandbox, connecting AI coding agents to real hardware, and measuring the memory and GPU capab...

Hey DEV Community! Remember the 90s and early 2000s? You'd open a simple program, drag a button onto a form, write a couple of readable lines of code, hit Run, and a real, working .exe popped up instantly on your screen. No 500MB of nodemodules. N...

I use Git every day, but one thing has always bothered me: when you do something that changes history, a lot of Git tools still basically ask you to understand the command first and trust that the result is what you expected. I wanted something mor...

I built CyberRef to solve a problem I kept seeing in labs and on engagements: nobody remembers the exact syntax of a command under pressure. You know the command exists. You know roughly what it does. But it's 2 AM during an incident, or you're mid-...

Ever needed to show one app window on a tablet without any remote-desktop software? I built WindowStream for exactly that, and Ive just open-sourced it. Its a small Windows tray app that streams a chosen window as MJPEG over HTTP on your local ne...

Until this week, CodeSagehttps://github.com/iliaal/codesage ran its two models exactly as they ship on Hugging Face: Jina's code embedder and the ms-marco MiniLM reranker. A full index of php-src took 1,782 seconds, just under half an hour, and I got...

title: "Miraiclip: an open-source engine for building video editors in the browser" published: true description: "A framework-agnostic TypeScript library where every edit is a command — undo/redo, collaboration, and AI control fall out of one design...

Over the last few months I became a bit of a compulsive open source contributor. Translating Linux kernel documentation into Portuguese, a merged PR in uutils/coreutilshttps://github.com/uutils/coreutils, a few fixes in Elixir libraries I had used be...

The Problem PromptWars Challenge 4 asked for a GenAI solution touching stadium navigation, crowd management, accessibility, transportation, sustainability, multilingual support, and operational intelligence during FIFA World Cup 2026 — for fans, ...
