https://github.com/Leleat/git-forge

From the README: "[git-forge is a] simple CLI tool for basic interactions with issues and pull requests across GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo".

Right now, I am looking into better testing. Currently, I do testing by mocking the forge APIs and then running git-forge against them with TypeScript. But not everything is testable that way. The TUI is pretty much untested. So I now want to port at least the tests to Rust (I am probably gonna leave the mock API in TS) and need to look into how to tests TUIs, which is a bit of a challenge since not only is Rust my first "systems programming language", I am also not knowledgable in Terminal/TUIs...

We ran into the annoying Envoy 503 bug in our prod and needed some quick tools to help figure out what was going on with TCP connections and HTTP requests.

https://github.com/vishnugt/TCPFinMonitor. Live - https://keepalive.gt.ms/

This tool tracks TCP FIN packet timing to see how upstream connections are closing and how keep-alives behave. It helped me spot when connections were closing too early or timing out, which was causing those 503 errors.

A fast, minimal httpbin clone written in Rust. It’s way faster(20x throughput) than the usual httpbin and useful for testing HTTP clients and debugging requests without extra noise.

These aren’t polished, just some stuff I needed to iron out the issue.

I'm building CatchIntent (https://CatchIntent.com). The goal is to help turning social conversations into qualified warm leads.

Started with it because I was struggling with finding relevant conversations about my first app where people are exactly asking for what I'm selling, only that I was missing those conversations and people. Build a POC, tested for myself and started getting good leads, so I converted it into my second app.

I keep working on my command line game 'Rebels in the sky' (https://rebels.frittura.org)

The game is about spacepirates playing basketball, it's kinda a basketball manager game. It's played in your terminal and works with no internet.

You can try it via ssh at `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`

I launched https://rebrain.gg/ a few days ago.

It's a bit like Reddit but focused on learning. (Doom learning instead of doom scrolling)

You 1) upload a source 2) direct the kind of questions you want to be asked 3) start answering (and if you get the answers wrong, you can discuss the problem with "AI").

You can read other people's sources, questions, answers and their discussions with AI too.

And if you're learning the same thing as other people, you can join communities to share sources/questions.

It's still very early on, so I'm very interested in any feedback.

A PDF generation API, Chrome-based. Most of my time lately goes into print production - browsers render everything in RGB but print needs CMYK with ICC color profiles, and getting that conversion right inside the PDF turned out to be a much deeper problem than expected. Got PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-4 working now.

https://catchditto.site

I'm building Ditto — it clones websites with 100% visual accuracy and outputs a proper React app with named components and preserved structure.

The problem: you find a design you love, want to use it as a starting point, and your options are either manually recreating it or using a tool that spits out a tangled mess of divs and inline styles. CatchDitto gives you an actual codebase — clean component hierarchy, sensible naming, structure you can extend without wanting to rewrite everything first.

I'm still iterating, would love to hear what others think.
