Why I Built Lexis - A Free, Local-First AI Productivity Suite
I've tried every productivity app out there. Notion, Obsidian, Todoist, Habitica, Day One - you name it. Every single one either wants my credit card, my email, or my data. Some want all three. So I built Lexis (lexisapp.xyz) - a free, local-first productivity suite that combines habits, notes, journal, tasks, documents, and an AI assistant into one app. No sign-up. No subscription. All data stays on your device. What is Lexis? Lexis is a web app (also available as a desktop Electron app) that bundles six productivity tools into one: Habits - Track daily habits with streaks, analytics, and a calendar view Notes - Rich text notes with full markdown support Journal - Daily journaling with mood tracking Tasks - Task management with priorities, due dates, and kanban-style organization Documents - Create and manage longer-form documents Noor - An AI assistant powered by three models (Ethos 4.7, Logos 4.5, Verse 4) that can chat, generate images, and help with your productivity data Everything runs in the browser. Your data is stored locally in IndexedDB. Nothing is sent to any server - not even us. Why Local-First? The local-first movement is about giving users ownership of their data. When your notes live in Notion's servers, you're at the mercy of their pricing, their uptime, and their privacy policies. With Lexis: Your data never leaves your device No account needed - just open the app and start using it Works offline - full functionality without internet (except AI features) GDPR compliant by design - we literally can't see your data because it never reaches our servers The AI Assistant (Noor) I wanted an AI that feels like it's yours, not a corporate chatbot. Noor is Lexis's built-in AI assistant with three models: Ethos 4.7 - the creative, conversational model Logos 4.5 - the analytical, precise model Verse 4 - the fast, efficient model Noor can chat with you about your tasks, habits, and notes. It can generate images. Voice dictation runs through your browser's bu

Why `zarazhangrui/follow-builders` Is Trending on GitHub
zarazhangrui/follow-builders is gaining attention for a simple reason: it focuses on the people building AI systems, not just the influencers discussing them. With 84 new stars today, the project is positioned as an AI builders digest that monitors notable creators across X and YouTube podcasts, then remixes their ideas into shorter, easier-to-scan summaries. That workflow addresses a real productivity problem. AI research and engineering conversations are scattered across long videos, fast-moving social feeds, and repeated announcements. A focused digest can reduce the time spent collecting links while preserving the practical signal: architectural decisions, implementation lessons, tools, and emerging patterns. A sensible first step is to inspect the repository locally before deciding how deeply it fits your workflow: git clone https://github.com/zarazhangrui/follow-builders.git cd follow-builders # Inspect the setup instructions and available scripts ls -la find . -maxdepth 2 -type f | sort | head -80 For an AI-assisted workflow, I would pair the project with a small review loop: Collect the generated digest. Extract claims, links, and mentioned tools. Open the original source before acting on important technical advice. Save durable findings in a project notes file or knowledge base. This keeps summaries useful without treating them as authoritative research. It also makes the tool a good companion for developers using Cursor or another AI IDE: the digest supplies discovery, while the IDE helps turn validated ideas into experiments and code. Before production use, watch for two trade-offs: Summary fidelity: compressed content can lose context, caveats, or disagreements from the original conversation. Source coverage: ranking “top builders” may introduce selection bias, so important perspectives can be missed. The strongest use case is not replacing primary sources. It is building a high-signal starting queue for developers who want to follow AI progress without

LLMs Don't Have to Generate One Token at a Time: How Medusa and Multi-Token Prediction Cheat Autoregression
Hello, I'm Shrijith Venkatramana, and I'm building LiveReview — a blast-radius aware AI code review built for your business-critical systems. Star us to help devs discover the project, give it a try, and share your feedback to help improve the product. A modern LLM can contain hundreds of billions of parameters, run on extremely expensive accelerators, and still spend most of its inference time doing something that looks embarrassingly sequential: token 1 -> token 2 -> token 3 -> token 4 -> token 5 -> ... That is the awkward part of autoregressive generation. The model may process a whole prompt in parallel during the initial prefill, but once generation starts, the next token depends on the previous token. So generating 100 tokens looks conceptually like running the model 100 times. And for many serving workloads, that is exactly where the money goes. A family of techniques tries to break this bottleneck by asking a deceptively simple question: What if the model could predict several future tokens at once, then verify them in parallel? That idea leads to speculative decoding, Medusa-style multiple decoding heads, and the broader multi-token prediction approach used during training. The interesting part is that these are not merely "optimization tricks." They change the computational structure of decoding. This article develops that idea from first principles and then gets into the engineering details. 1. The problem: your GPU is doing an expensive sequential loop Consider ordinary autoregressive decoding. Given a prompt: The capital of France is the model predicts: Paris Then it feeds the new sequence back through the model: The capital of France is Paris and predicts the next token. Then again: The capital of France is Paris . and so on. Formally, the model factorizes the probability of a sequence as: P(x1, x2, ..., xT) = product over t of P(xt | x1, ..., x(t-1)) That conditional dependence is what makes language modeling so useful. It is also what makes decoding

I made a habit tracker where you can filter and sort by anything
OpenHabitTracker is a free, open source habit tracker that also holds your notes and tasks. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android and in a browser, with no ads and no account. Filtering and sorting habits A habit here is not measured by a streak. It is measured by how much of its interval has gone by. A habit you want to do every ten days, two days late, is at 120%. A habit you want to do every four days, also two days late, is at 150%. Because that is a number, you can filter on a range of it: only habits above 50%, only habits below 150%, or only the ones in between. That last one is everything neither freshly done nor badly overdue. You can sort by it as well, and the sort takes the repeat count into account, so a habit done three times a day and one done weekly are compared against each other rather than the daily ones always sitting on top. There are other ways to sort habits by time: how long you want between repeats, how long it has actually been averaging, how long since the last one, and how much time you have spent on it in total or per completion. Notes and tasks sort by the plain things, category, priority and title, and tasks also by their planned date and duration. Each of the three keeps its own sort order. Filtering by date Tasks have a planned date. Tasks and habits have the dates they were completed on. Both are filtered separately, each before, on, after or not on a date you pick. A filter can also take a number of days from today instead of a date. Minus seven to plus seven is the week either side of now, and it still means that in a month, because the days are counted at the moment you look rather than the moment you set it. Showing what was not done The completed-date filter has a switch next to it. Turned on, the range shows what you finished in those days. Turned off, the same range shows what you did not. Searching notes, tasks and habits Searching a note searches the whole note, not just its title. Searching tasks and habits search

I Wanted "agy ." for Google Antigravity on WSL2 — So I Built "wagy"
I use WSL2 as my main development environment on Windows. My projects live in Linux: /home/user/Projects/... Node.js, pnpm, Git, Docker, and the rest of my toolchain also run inside WSL. When I started using Google Antigravity IDE, I wanted the same workflow I already had with VS Code: code . Something like: agy . That would have been the obvious command. But agy is already the official Antigravity CLI, so reusing it as a launcher for the Windows IDE would be confusing. So I needed another name. I ended up with: wagy . You can read it as WSL + agy or Windows + agy — both actually describe what it does pretty well. The goal was simple: WSL2 └── ~/Projects/my-project │ │ wagy . ▼ Antigravity IDE on Windows │ └── Remote WSL └── /home/user/Projects/my-project I wanted to launch the Windows Antigravity IDE directly from my WSL terminal, while keeping the project, terminal, and development toolchain inside WSL. Not opening the project through \\wsl.localhost . Not moving the project to C:\ . And ideally, not patching Antigravity every time it gets updated. After a bit of digging, the solution turned out to be quite small. The setup This was tested with: Antigravity IDE 1.107.0 Windows 11 WSL2 Ubuntu zsh Antigravity was installed on Windows under: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Antigravity IDE From WSL, that becomes: /mnt/c/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Programs/Antigravity IDE The missing piece: --remote Antigravity IDE already supports remote targets. From WSL, this works: "/mnt/c/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Programs/Antigravity IDE/Antigravity IDE.exe" \ --remote "wsl+ $WSL_DISTRO_NAME " \ " $( pwd ) " That was the missing piece. It launches the Windows Antigravity IDE while opening the project through the current WSL distribution. So instead of opening: \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\user\Projects\my-project the IDE works with the actual WSL environment: /home/user/Projects/my-project This means the integrated terminal can keep using the Linux toolchain: node pnpm git

`sponsors/ibelick`: A Practical Look at Skills for Design Engineers
Design engineers increasingly work across two systems: the visual language of a product and the implementation details that make it usable. Skills for Design Engineers from ibelick focuses on that overlap, packaging practical guidance for building interfaces with stronger visual quality, clearer interaction patterns, and more consistent engineering decisions. The project is attracting attention, with +46 stars today . That momentum makes sense: design-focused AI workflows are moving quickly, but many generated interfaces still need human judgment around spacing, typography, responsive behavior, accessibility, and component reuse. The useful way to approach this project is not as a drop-in framework. Treat it as a reference layer for your development workflow. Read the relevant skill instructions, adapt them to your stack, and keep the resulting guidance close to the codebase so it can be applied consistently during implementation and review. A lightweight local setup might look like this: mkdir -p .ai/skills/design-engineering curl -L https://github.com/sponsors/ibelick \ -o .ai/skills/design-engineering/reference.html For a real team workflow, I would convert the useful parts into a checked-in Markdown file: .ai/ └── skills/ └── design-engineering/ ├── interface-quality.md ├── responsive-layouts.md └── review-checklist.md This keeps the process portable across editors and AI assistants instead of tying it to one tool. It also makes design decisions reviewable in pull requests, which is more valuable than keeping them inside an undocumented prompt. Before using the approach in production, watch for: Context drift: generic design guidance can conflict with an existing design system, so define project-specific tokens and component rules first. AI overconfidence: generated UI still requires manual checks for accessibility, keyboard navigation, mobile behavior, and performance. The strongest ROI comes from using these skills as repeatable engineering standards—not as a

I built a live webcam atlas with 7,000+ streams from 100+ countries — here's what watching the world taught me
Ever wondered what's happening right now on a beach in Mexico, in Red Square, or at a harbor in Norway? I run Cam-World — a free live webcam aggregator that pulls together 7,000+ public streams from 100+ countries into one searchable place. No registration, no paywall. Here's a tour of what's inside and a few things I learned along the way. 🗺 The world map is the product The heart of the site is a dark globe where every green dot is a live camera. Click a cluster, zoom into a city, open a stream — you never leave the map. Watching it for a while teaches you something: the planet has a rhythm. Webcams go online with the morning sun, and the "online" wave rolls west around the clock. 📊 Honest uptime — you can tell a dead cam from a live one Aggregators usually show you a thumbnail and pray. We check every camera automatically and show a statistics widget: the last 24 hours and 30 days as color-coded slots (online / outage / offline / no data) plus an uptime percentage. The lesson here: webcams are ephemeral. Streams die, hotels turn off cameras, storms break them. Honest stats became our most-loved feature — users check reliability before clicking play. 🔎 Search, cities, collections Search works by name, city, country and tags. There are dedicated hubs for countries and cities, and themed collections: beaches, traffic, mountains, northern lights. 🌙 Small things that matter Dark & light themes (night couch-travel vs daytime browsing), 20 interface languages, "Near me" sorting by distance, live online/offline badges on every card. Try it 🗺 World map — pick a dot, watch live 🔎 Search — find a place you love 🏠 Home feed — a rotating mix of live cameras It's free, works on mobile, and there's always something happening somewhere. What would you check first — a beach, a mountain, or your own hometown square? 👇

I Built the World's Most Customizable Scientific Calculator (30+ Themes, Python + PyQt6)
The idea Every OS ships a calculator. Every one of them looks the same, feels the same, and disappears from memory the moment you close it. So I built ACALCU v3 — an Akhouri Systems product — a scientific calculator that's absurdly, unnecessarily customizable. Not because a calculator needs 30+ themes and per-button styling, but because it was a fun constraint to design around: how far can you push a "boring" utility app before it becomes something people actually enjoy using? What it does At its core, ACALCU is a standard scientific calculator: basic arithmetic, sin, cos, tan, log, √, π, percentages, and a running expression engine built on Python's math module. On top of that core, it layers: 30+ built-in themes — Royal, Liquid Glass, Wild, Cyberpunk, Dracula, Nord, Solarized, Monokai, Windows 7 / Vista / 10, OneUI 8.0, Matrix, Rose Gold, Galaxy, Fire, Ice, Neon, Vintage, Sakura, Midnight, Forest, Candy, Terminal, Gold Dark, and more. Per-button customization — right-click any button to change its color, font, or set a custom image/video as its background. Every button on the grid is independently styleable. A live "Wild" theme — a small animated plant widget that visibly grows every time you run a calculation. Calculation history — a scrollable dialog of your last 50 calculations. Persistent config — every customization is saved to a local JSON file and reloaded on next launch. Full keyboard support — number keys, operators, Enter/Escape, all mapped to the same input pipeline the buttons use. Architecture The whole thing is a single-file PyQt6 desktop app, structured around a few core pieces: python THEMES = { "DEFAULT": { "app_bg": "#0a0a0a", "display_bg": "#111111", ... }, "ROYAL": { "app_bg": "#0a0800", "display_fg": "#ffd700", ... }, "LIQUID_GLASS": { "app_bg": "transparent", ... , "transparent": True }, # ...30+ more } Each theme is just a dict of colors, font, corner radius, and optional flags (transparent, wild). The Config class resolves the active theme

Why I Built ToolVerse: A Solo Developer’s Journey to Making Financial Clarity Private and Free
Can I Afford This? 1. The Story Behind the Code Every developer knows the late nights, the stubborn bugs, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing a project finally come to life. For the past few weeks, my world has revolved around a single mission: building ToolVerse. 2. Like many of you, I looked at the current landscape of financial tools—cluttered with intrusive trackers, forced sign-ups, and paywalls—and asked a simple question: What if we could do better? 3. What if people could calculate their debt consolidation, check their ACA health insurance premiums, or map out their tax withholding scenarios instantly, securely, and completely privately right inside their browser? 4. What is ToolVerse? ToolVerse is a collection of high-intent, lightning-fast financial decision tools designed for the US audience. It runs on a lean, efficient stack: 5. Frontend & Hosting: Hosted seamlessly on GitHub Pages for blazing-fast load times and global reach. ** Backend Intelligence:** Powered by Vercel server-side API execution to handle complex lookups (like ACA subsidy calculations) securely without storing user data. Privacy-First Architecture: No mandatory accounts, no email walls, and zero data selling. Calculations happen right where they belong—on the user's device. ** The Reality of Solo Building** Building this as a solo creator hasn't been a straight line. From battling server-side routing issues to optimizing sitemaps for Google Search Console indexing, every single line of code taught me resilience. There were days when things broke, but seeing those first users land on the platform and find actual value in these tools made every sleepless night worth it. 8. Let's Build Together! ToolVerse is growing, and its infrastructure is ready for scale. 9. I am currently looking for: Collaborators & Open-Source Contributors who are passionate about building useful, privacy-first web utilities. 10. Sponsors & API Partners in the US financial and health tech space

Scope, not effort: how engineer promotions actually get decided
Most engineers who stall at a level have the skill. What they don't have is anyone willing to explain the machine they're inside. The explanation you get from your manager is partial by design. They know their part of the process and not the committee's, so what comes back is "keep doing what you're doing, you're close." Which is true, and useless, and then you're close again next cycle. So here is the machine, reconstructed from what the four big companies publish, what their engineers write up afterward, and what levelling aggregators have pieced together. None of it is your company's internal doc. Check the specifics with your own manager. The ladders don't line up Stage Google Meta Amazon Microsoft Apple Typical YOE Entry L3 E3 L4 (SDE I) 59–60 ICT2 0–2 Mid L4 E4 L5 (SDE II) 61–62 ICT3 2–5 Senior L5 E5 L6 (SDE III) 63–64 ICT4 5–8+ Staff L6 E6 L7 (Principal) 65–66 ICT5 8–12+ Senior staff L7 E7 L8 67 ICT6 12+ Principal / Distinguished L8–L9 E8–E9 L10 68–69 Distinguished rare Google's L5 is a senior engineer. Amazon's L5 is a mid-level SDE II. Recruiters map between them and the map is approximate, so the year ranges are typical rather than required. Two things here matter more than the numbers. The gap between adjacent levels is not constant. Entry to mid is mostly about becoming reliable. Mid to senior is about becoming independent. Then senior to staff, which is where the ladder stops behaving like a ladder: it's a change of job, and the things that earned you the last promotion only partly transfer. And every company has a level it considers a perfectly good place to spend a career. Google's L5, Meta's E5, Amazon's SDE II or III depending on who you ask, Microsoft's 63 or 64. Below that level there is an expectation you keep climbing, and at some companies a clock. Above it, promotion is optional and much harder, and nobody will chase you about it. What actually happens in the room The four processes differ enough that optimizing for the wrong one wastes a year

I Ran git reset --hard in the Wrong Window
git reset --hard HEAD~3 — run in the wrong repository window, at 6:40pm, immediately followed by the specific kind of silence that happens when you realize what you just did before your brain finishes processing it. Three commits of uncommitted-adjacent work, gone from the working tree in under a second. The first, most important fact: it's very likely still there git reset --hard moves the branch pointer and resets the working tree, but Git doesn't actually delete commit objects just because nothing points at them anymore — they sit in the object database, unreferenced, until garbage collection eventually cleans them up, which for most repos happens rarely enough that "eventually" can mean weeks. git reflog a1b2c3d HEAD@{0}: reset: moving to HEAD~3 e4f5g6h HEAD@{1}: commit: add retry logic to payment webhook 7h8i9j0 HEAD@{2}: commit: fix currency rounding k1l2m3n HEAD@{3}: commit: initial webhook handler The reflog is a local log of everywhere HEAD has pointed recently, and it survives a reset because a reset is just another entry in it, not an erasure of the ones before it. git reset --hard e4f5g6h Working tree restored to exactly the state before the reset, all three commits back, in the time it takes to read this sentence. When the reflog isn't enough If the commits were never made at all — you ran reset --hard on genuinely uncommitted changes — the reflog can't help, because it only tracks where HEAD and branches have pointed, not file contents that were never committed. That's a real loss, and the only real defense against it is committing early and often, including throwaway "wip" commits you intend to squash later, specifically because an uncommitted change has no recovery path at all. If the commits were committed and the reflog entry has expired — Git's default is to keep unreachable reflog entries for 90 days, reachable ones for longer — git fsck --unreachable can sometimes still find dangling commit objects directly: git fsck --unreachable --no-reflog |

My journey to "I use arch btw"
1. How this project started? I'm going to be honest, it's been ages since I have written something without the use of AI to fix my writing. English is not my first language so please bear with me! With the rapid rise of AI, I felt that I have been losing passion for what I used to love at some point: learning . Nowadays, we can quickly solve most of our problems with the use of AI, often times, not even reviewing if it correct or not. That's why I decided to take some time daily to learn something new without or minimal use of AI. The first step is deciding, what should I try to learn first? Well, it was quiet easy to find out what. If you are into Linux, you have probably heard of Omarchy at this point. Like it or not, there's no deny that it's getting more popular among developers. So, why not try to build a decent looking Arch workspace? Before continuing, I would like to mention that this is not a guide. There are lot of resources online that teaches you how to install Archlinux and other packages. 2. Why Archlinux? Archlinux has -or had- the reputation of being difficult to get started with. Most of us are used to booting into a nice-looking, functional operating system. Although I have some Linux knowledge, I wanted to have a better understanding of what it takes to have a decent workspace. 3. Installing Archlinux The first step is actually installing Arch on my device. The device I'm going to use is my trusty built PC that I currently use exclusively for gaming. There are a few things to consider before jumping into installing Arch: My PC has an Nvidia RTX 5050 and AMD Ryzen 5 CPU. Need dual boot to switch between Windows 11 and Archlinux. I don't want to change the BIOS options repeatively. With this in mind, I quickly created a bootable USB using RUFUS . 3.1. Booting the USB If you are a Windows 11 user and have dual boot, you may know that Windows requires Windows Secure Boot. In order to boot another operation system, you'll need to change your Secure Boo
