I posted Gitea Mirror here at 100 stars. It is at 1,400 now and most of the new stuff came from your issues. Would love testers for the beta parts
Hey everyone, A little over a year ago I posted Gitea Mirror here, a web app that mirrors your GitHub repos into a self-hosted Gitea. It had 100 stars. It has 1,400 now, and most of what shipped since came out of issues people from this sub opened. Thank you, genuinely. What landed in the last few r

LLMRix Model Router — an open-source multi-model routing and orchestration framework for Java.
Stop Hardcoding Model Names in Business Code: LLMRix Router Adds a Multi-Model Routing Layer for Java AI Apps When AI applications move from demo to production, the trouble usually isn't with prompts—it's with the model calls themselves. Which model should handle this request? What happens when t

Why Comparing PDFs Is Still Surprisingly Difficult
If you've ever had someone send you two PDF files and ask "what changed?", you probably know how this usually goes. Open the first file. Open the second one. Put them next to each other. Start scrolling. After a few pages, you realize that you're not actually comparing the documents anymore. Yo

The 2 AM Silent Failure: What Running AI Agents in Production Taught Me About Stability
Most AI agents don't fail the way they do in demos. They fail later, and quieter: a task runs at 2 AM, fails silently, nobody gets alerted, and you discover it the next morning — a full day of work gone. We run MeshCtx on a small three-machine cluster. Today's health check comes straight from a pro

Adding an Image-to-Video Button to a Creator Tool
I'm an independent developer designing a small asset tool for content creators. The workflow starts with generating images and choosing one. The next thing I want to add is a button beside that image: “Generate video.” An outfit image gave me a useful reason to build it. A still can show the color,

My Self-Improving Agent Still Couldn't Improve. That Was the Breakthrough.
Previously: 9 Bugs That All Looked Like a Working System · I Built an AI That Rewrites Its Own Prompts · The Edit That Fixed 4 Tasks and Broke 1 · I Let an LLM Rewrite Its Own Prompt. The Real Win Was the Gate That Rejected It. · I Tried 4 Models to Save My Self-Improving Agent. All 4 Failed. Agen

What Building a Real App with AI Actually Cost: 36 Parts, Three Seasons, About $17
Three seasons, thirty-six parts, one clinic app — and a meter that ran the whole time. Every part of the ClinicLive trilogy ended with a 💸 box, every retro added its season up, and every number came from the build log rather than from memory. This post puts all of it in one place: what the whole thi

AI Era: Building Web Sites and Configuring Nginx Reverse Proxy Process
Preface As the title suggests, I recently spent a few days building a company official website, and on top of that, I’ve developed several sub‑sites for the company over the past few months. During the actual deployment, I ran into a few pitfalls—especially regarding domain‑to‑IP mapping—so I’d lik

The Death of the Easter Egg
There is a flight simulator inside Microsoft Excel 97. I wasn't around for it. I learned about it the way most people my age learn about anything from before they were born, which is to say late at night, from a video, with the volume low, and with the vague feeling of having missed something. You

I built a C-capable, DOM-native JavaScript Runtime in Pure Python
I just released myjs on PyPI (pip install myjs or pipx install myjs). It’s a Python-native JavaScript runtime that bridges Python’s AST capabilities, native DOM primitives (domonic), and direct C-level Foreign Function Interface (FFI) bindings into a unified JavaScript execution scope. 🌐 The Pitch
