I'm trying to recreate https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/ but in Zig, will probably have to face shit metric ton of hate after finishing it due to probably some mistakes and sharing them online in form of a guide, but I'm doing it to learn myself, hope that project will improve by people posting issues or simply forking the project when I will finish it.

Yesterday I released https://npmdigest.com, a micro-SaaS to work around the frustrating experience of getting spammed by npm emails "Successfully published X" whenever I release new versions of my packages.

And I completed a pretty long technical article on my personal blog that goes pretty deep into SSE + Postgres + v8 + some linux kernel stuff: https://sam.elborai.me/articles/how-sse-actually-works-deno-...

Some other projects I'm currently motivated by

- pls, my take on what my ideal release automation tool would be (currently deno only): https://github.com/dgellow/pls

- steady, an OpenAPI spec validator and mock server: https://github.com/dgellow/steady

https://mytinycafe.com/ An PWA primarily for my wife and my daughter. They can order their hot chocolate and their coffee as if they were going to grab something at a fancy café downtown, but instead it's at home and I'm the barista. It is quite nice to have for when my wife comes back from work and want something specific, or when we are waiting for the visit of a few friend, they can order exactly the available bev…

I love it! Such a cute application :D

Lite³: a binary format encoding JSON documents as a serialized B-tree, making it possible to construct iterators on them directly and query internal fields at indexed speeds. It is still a serialized document (possible to send over a network), though now you don't need to do any parsing, since the document itself is already indexed.

A database desktop client, built with Tauri & SvelteKit.

"But there are many already!" I hear the crowd exclaim.

I respond, "Yes, but..."

It's really something I want for myself. Lightweight, as fast as humanly possible, extensible via plugins (in fact the entire app is mostly plugins, with a small core to glue it together), and a tiny bit of LLM (call it AI if you wish) integration to ask questions about the database or generate/review queries.
