#432To experiment with visual changes of a few CSS properties on a few html components: https://rundata.co.za/~lelanthran/JustTryIt/
Using the browser tools is normally better though (change everything, to anything), but I think a visual interface with sliders beats out entering hex codes for colors.

#433https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w1DDwnFWLM QR-powered home organization app! My family and friends use it constantly, but I never polished or promoted it further than that video :) If you're organizing your garage/shed/projects bench and want to give it a try, I'm happy to mail you a big stack of stickers!
I definitely have this problem, but... do you find the QR code setup improves on a piece of masking tape on the side of the box?
I feel like I still continue to be lazy and not put stuff in the right box, not return it to its spot after use, etc. :/

#434Im working on building an alternative to postman and insomnia that doesn’t suck. In particular it will automatically generate OpenAPI specs from live endpoints/data, validate requests/responses against known specs, and generate contract tests on the fly. Everything will work locally WITHOUT a stupid “cloud sync” account.
I’m only a few weeks in, but Insomnia’s complete f*ckup just days after I started really proved I’m on the right track!
Hoping to get a simple site setup next week, the day job has been exhausting recently…

#437Calzone is a Chrome extension for converting between timezones, just by highlighting text. It runs purely client-side. Helps me schedule international meetings when writing emails. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/calzone/ahnbgncjjn...
No firefox version? This is defintely one of the projects that I have on my list to do at some point..

#438Trying to build the world's largest encyclopedia of magazines, fanzines, journals and newsletters. Most of the world's magazines are dead and buried, languishing as copyright orphans with no known owner. Yet, they contain far more knowledge than probably all the books combined? We should probably think about training the next LLM on all the world's magazines as well as all the books. It is less than half-baked. I ask…
Really cool. When I was younger I regularly got one of those (Not sure of the name) bundles of pages that you tear out and arrange in binders. It was all about aircraft including cross sections and I've always wanted to scan and ocr them.

#439marver https://github.com/sylv/marver My NAS has a load of files dumped onto it over the years. Instead of spending a couple weekends sorting through it like a sane person, I'm making something to automatically index it using the metadata already there. The goal for marver is to index my NAS and extract as much metadata as it can, then display that in a pretty UI that gives the user multiple ways to refine the metada…
I would like to use this if it was the magic thing you described. :)

#440An open firmware for inertial flywheel based bike static trainers: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/wiredhoo
It started as a wired replacement for wireless communications by emulating an ANT+ USB stick; the host software thinks the packets are being sent wirelessly.
Then it become more of an exploration into how inertial trainers calculate input torque only from the known properties of the flywheel. In theory it could become an open firmware for any trainer, since the hardware is largely the same. I never really finished tuning the functions to estimate the power from the flywheel RPM.
