I was using mdBook for documentation, but then I heard about Zensical and decided to try it out. It's nice, but my favorite feature is the ability to display different images for the dark and light themes! Docs: projects.annimon.com/projects/effy/

I've finished a core rework in effy 0.2.0
I decided to change the structure to have more control over custom parameter types, such as Select, Toggle, NumericInput etc. This allows dynamically change options if needed.
In this release, I also started implementing modal dialogs and.. it's so painful

It's been a month since I started self-hosting karakeep.app, a read-it-later application that helps organizing my reading list.
It has nested lists, a good search, AI tagging and summarizer (you can adjust prompts), notes, a separate reading view, API and mobile client (quite buggy atm).

Here's the progress I've made on my first TUI app. It's an FFmpeg helper called eFFy. I must admit, It's really hard to design a Rust app after thinking in Java abstractions for so many years. On the other hand, it's interesting to break through own habits

effybot v1.3 has been released

- Added Audio Compressor
- Added Audio Spectrum output to help quickly determine the status of the audio before and after applying filters
Previously, I added the /clip command, but I don't like it, so it won't be included in this release

I was surprised to discover that Picasa (killedbygoogle.com btw) had corrupted part of my unprocessed photo library.
I probably used it to fix the GPS location long time ago, and it removed some other EXIF information. Luckily, I had backups, so everything can be fixed.👌

Image Processing series with interactive JavaScript examples. Topics include basic pixel and channel manipulation, color models, scaling, and histogram. Also implemented image filters such as negate, contrast, saturation, gamma, blur, emboss, etc.

Switched back to Deno. It has some type inconsistency, which require declaring an extra type MomentCallable:
// @ts-ignore: deno lack of type
const moment: MomentCallable = globalThis.moment;
But overall Deno is much easier to configure and faster. According to GitHub CI: 39s on Node vs 18s on Deno.

I've created an Obsidian plugin to build a timeline.

The idea came suddenly and ate me up. I spent the last two weeks learning the Obsidian API, trying out Deno (although I switched to node today), and figuring out how to build a dynamic timeline in HTML. Will release soon

Got some time to organize my Obsidian notes.
The picture would be better if I found how to ignore some common tags here. But it's still a feature request: forum.obsidian.md/t/exclude-a-...

That's how I found Zola – a modern static site generator written in Rust.
No dependencies are needed, just a small binary is enough.
Everything what I need is here:
- Various syntax highlight languages
- Light/dark mode
- Different locales
- Cool themes
- Extendable templates
- RSS support

You know what? I got tired of this shit. I used to have a few blog posts on this "platform" back in 2016. It was so-so then, but I decided to give Medium a chance. Years passed and things got worse. It's time to say goodbye to Medium and move on.
