kohlhofer··on A Markdown File Should Just Open
I think https://markdownlibrary.app ticks all the boxes. It leaves files where they are. It allows editing raw. And it keeps track of all the markdown files across multiple repos WITHOUT moving them to a vault. And yes - it can open md files by default.

I am obviously biased but this is what I needed, too.

The truly dystopian future is one where all our language coalesces into this.

I have been playing with some of Apple's on device APIs and it is white amazing what you can do without worrying about tokens or cloud infra structure (if you have a modern device with an M chip).

I built this because I kept reaching for the mouse just to tweak volume while my perfectly good MIDI controller sat there unused.

Now any knob or fader can control your Mac’s volume — system and Apple Music separately — right from the menu bar. Plug in your controller, hit “MIDI Learn,” twist a knob — done.

It’s tiny, local, and weirdly satisfying — no ads, no subscriptions, just works. Runs fully offline using macOS Core MIDI and Core Audio APIs.

Curious what else people would map to MIDI — mic gain? brightness? app switching?

kohlhofer··on Dxc4.com – Chess analysis where the game lives in the URL
I built https://dxc4.com – a free chess analysis tool that doesn’t use servers or databases. The entire analysis session (moves, variations, current position) is encoded in the URL itself. That means when you share a link, the recipient sees exactly what you see. The Stockfish engines runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — so there are no server costs, no logins, no data leaving your device. Once loaded, it even works offline.

It does a bunch more. Would love some feedback.

kohlhofer··on Jenkin developers accidentally do "git push --force" to over 150 repos on github
great sentiment.
