I am working on tcx-ls. It is quite niche, TCX is an XML file format used in sports tracking devices. Tcx-ls is a CLI that displays the information contained in the TCX file (like accumulated time and distance, etc.) in a more user-friendly way. I hope it is useful for many people.
I like the idea of a books list. This gives me new inspiration for books that I could read. Other languages like Spanish and French would also be great. :)
Thanks for your candid feedback. I copied the data manually into the CMS. I am looking at alternatives to that in the future, there are some projects that try to automate querying Wikipedia data. Have not tried them out, though. Any experience with that?
All right, thanks for your feedback. Correct, currently this is only content from Wikipedia, although in a more structured form. I hope to expand and improve content over time (maybe even with help of a community).
One idea is also linking from recipes to the SpiceNice database and getting more information about spices in that way.
All the big cloud providers like AWS and Azure have an API for the sythesis of text into the spoken word. But there are also young startups like ElevenLabs that offer their innovative solutions in this space. A third option is open source software for those who either do not want to pay for the service of TTS (text-to-speech) or do need on-device TTS. Also, privacy reasons can play a role here.
The headless open source content management system (CMS) Strapi can be dockerized and deployed via Docker to the cloud. In this article I want to show how to deploy Strapi to the Digital Ocean App Platform as a Docker container.
Although COBOL can be considered a legacy language, there are still billions of lines of COBOL in production. Modernizing these systems which are costly to run and maintain is a challenge. One solution to this issue is a COBOL to Go transpiler that I want to present in this article.
With WebAssembly you can integrate different programming languages together. This opens up new possibilities to use great libraries written in one language in another different platform. In this article I want to show how to integrate a Go library for sentence tokenization in a JavaScript webpage.
The World Factbook by the U.S. government contains a plethora of facts of all of the countries of this world. Up until now it was not easy to query and visualize the contained data. The open source project chi-country-facts is a GraphQL API and GUI of the World Factbook.
For the technically inclined, I did this treemap with the open source D3.js (https://d3js.org/d3-hierarchy/treemap) JavaScript library. Great library btw!
Yes, more like regions, I stuck to the definition of the World Factbook, where I got my data from. Green for example is Africa, blue Europe, red Asia, but there is also "Middle East", "North America", "South America" and "Southeast Asia", "Oceania".
Normally, when buying a home light that you want to control electronically, you need to install custom software. But with the ZigBee protocol and the RaspBee II gateway, you can use compatible devices and open source software. In this article I will show you how to add a custom Go REST service to the stack.
Functional programming style in JavaScript has become more popular in recent years. Therefore, it is important to know examples of pure functions that are available to all JavaScript developers. They are the preferred way to use functional programming in JavaScript.
Often people use Nest.js and Prisma together when they program a backend application. Then there is the question of how to deploy the application with Docker. This article shows you how.
React Three Fiber is a React wrapper for the Three.js library, facilitating the integration of 3D objects into React applications. It claims similar speed and feature capabilities as Three.js directly. In this article, I show you by using a demo application how to display a glTF model in the browser.
The production of plastics is a major contributor to environmental pollution. But there are alternative ways to produce plastics. Biopolymers are one of them. They are biodegradable and can be used as a replacement for plastics. In this article I want to highlight some companies that produce biopolymers for packaging.
Checklists can be useful tools to handle the complexities of modern life. Used by pilots and other professions handling complex tasks, checklists can also be useful for software developers.
