We keep shipping data to the cloud to analyze it, but modern Macs have enough horsepower to query millions of rows locally in milliseconds. Even an 8GB MacBook Neo. I built ColumnLens because I wanted to stop uploading…

I built NeonAMP, a browser-based MP3 player that runs as a single PHP file. You drop index.php into a folder of MP3s and it auto-scans the library, reads full ID3 tags, and stores metadata in SQLite. Playback uses the…

It's this time of year to discover cool projects bringing back memories of the good old days. I am still learning ImGUI and this is a master piece in my opinion. https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

Color.io will continue running until December 31, 2025. After that date, the web application and all online services will go offline permanently.

Native Mac app for analyzing massive JSONL files (Suricata, Zeek, EDR, CloudTrail logs). Opens 5GB+ files in seconds, automatically flattens nested JSON into filterable columns, supports advanced queries like…

I've been building a cross-platform JSONL viewer app that handles multi-GB files. It worked perfectly on macOS (my development machine), but consistently crashed on Windows at exactly 2,650 KB. Here's the debugging…

I’m working on a web app with some fairly data-heavy tables (think product inventories, user lists, analytics dashboards, etc.) and the mobile experience is pretty rough. On desktop everything looks fine, but on phones…

I've been in the industry for over a decade and find myself repeatedly returning to battle-tested UNIX technologies despite the constant stream of new frameworks and tools. Cron jobs still power critical scheduled tasks…

I always struggle with this: creating dashboards to target larger screen sizes (tablet, desktop) is quite easy. But I really struggle with small screens. Are there any good recommendations for learning resources? Best…

Over the last 12 months, in parallel to using Google BigQuery, I have built my own processing pipeline using SQLite and DuckDB. What amazes me is that it works surprisingly well and costs much less than using BigQuery.…

Last year I discovered Firebase and fell in love on first sight: simple to use and include in new projects. But after a year of usage I'm shocked by the monthly costs for even simple apps. Putting and storing data in…

I'm currently in the situation that two mobile apps should be updated to make future developments easier to implement. By update I mean that the underlying framework needs to be completely replaced. Do you charge these…

I've found curated lists on Github, but almost every projects uses podfiles or carthage dependencies even if it's a simple project. Does anyone know of some "pure"/"vanilla" open source Swift projects? I'm trying to…

I'm working as a freelancer for a year now and still trying to figure out, what's a time-effective way to write proposals to clients. I'm doing individual app development (focused iOS) in my DIY build mobile office…

I like the simple but powerful concept of unix pipes. Is there anything equal for the web world? If not, wouldn't it be worth to think about or even develop it?

I know that's not tech question, but maybe here are some guys in the same situation. Right now I am married for 10 years, we have two little boys (8 and 3 years old), build a house and I started my own business with app…

For an upcoming project I need a lightweight JavaScript and UI framework to serve a simple dashboard via the ESP8266.

We've developed Climeo during a Hackathon in March this year, tested the beta version with about 20 people and their feedback was very positive. So we enhanced it a bit and submit it to the app store last week.
