I've built something, and I'll probably regret it later. You remember Electron? How can you forget, it's everywhere, even in your text editor. So, I thought, I can build something similar for Python. Aaaand, here we are. I present you, Positron.
Have you ever wanted to set random actions to your keyboard keys but realized that you use them all for other purposes, like writing? Well, with this little trick, you can use your earbuds (in an unconventional way) to run custom actions on your computer.
Reddit did me dirty. I did them too. This is the story of how I got a permanent ban from Reddit for developing a non-commercial open-source client called Geddit.
I'm slowly losing my interest in frameworks and tools. It came as a surprise to me but I'm "actively" picking plain HTML, CSS, and as little JavaScript as possible over Vue.js, Alpine.js or others. I don't remember the last time I used a Bootstrap component or even a Bootstrap class. I'm not saying that I've become an expert in web development, like an artist, who can spit out elements and styles from his mind. Quite the opposite actually. Not being dependent on something leaves you with time to think about what you can do differently. That's something I've found with Jekyll.
I've been using Zed as my main editor for over a month now. The reason I switched from VSCode was that VSCode was too slow when I was working with multiple windows open. Switching back and forth between windows was creating a lag that was unbearable. I saw Zed as a lightweight and crazy fast alternative, and I wanted to give it a try. There were some problems however...
I'm not going to start with explaining what progressive rock is, because I have no idea. However, I can tell I have a taste for it. Here are some of my favorite progressive rock albums that you should listen to.
That time of the year has come again. I need to change my website, add some silly features, and remove some necessary ones. Until now, I was using Vue.js and GitHub Pages to build and host my website. But it was too exhausting to maintain the website and write new posts because I needed to build the website myself every time I make a change in the code. Besides, I had to deal with HTML and this prevented me from writing new posts frequently. So, I decided to migrate my website to Jekyll as, I can't stress this enough, I LOVE 😍 writing in Markdown. If god wanted to send some sacred text to the earth in the 21st century, he would definitely choose Markdown. Anyway, let's see how it went.
Recently, I've become curious about the visitor statistics of my websites. After a quick search, I decided to just build my own analytics solution
to avoid any big brother-like companies (I'm looking at you big 5). So, here we are, building a simple analytics solution with DuckDB.
