Hey DEV community! 👋 Like a lot of you, I had a mental list of "quick tool" bookmarks scattered everywhere — a word counter here, a slug generator there, a Lorem Ipsum generator somewhere else. I got tired of it, so I built Yanapex: a single site with free, no-signup tools for text, images, and everyday dev tasks. A few things I focused on: Everything runs client-side. No text or files get uploaded to a server, so it's safe to paste sensitive drafts or code. No accounts, no paywalls. Open a tool and use it immediately. Fast and lightweight, built for quick one-off tasks instead of full blown apps. One of the first tools is a Word Counter ( https://yanapex.com/en/tools/text-tools/word-counter/ ) with real-time word/character/sentence counts and reading time estimates. There are 26 tools so far across text, image, and developer utilities. Would love feedback from this community: what's a small tool you constantly have to search for online that you wish just existed in one place?

Spent the week balancing deep p2p networking work in Python with some much-needed UI polish on my personal site. 11 commits and 6 PRs later, I hit a perfect 7-day streak and made the codebase a bit more secure. TL;DR This week was all about the "invisible" work that makes software feel solid. I spent a good chunk of time in the weeds of p2p networking, specifically hardening WebRTC implementations, while also carving out time to refine the typography and feel of my personal portfolio. With 11 commits across 5 repos and 6 PRs in flight, I managed to keep the momentum going every single day of the week. WHAT I BUILT Most of my direct commit activity this week was split between keeping my dev environment sharp and making my portfolio feel a bit more "me." Portfolio & Personal Branding I spent some quality time in yashksaini-coder/portfolio . If you're like me, you can't leave your personal site alone for more than a month. I pushed a few updates to the blog content, but the real fun was in the UI/UX tweaks. I swapped out the primary typography for JetBrains Mono —there’s just something about a good monospace font that makes a dev portfolio feel right. I also went through a "make-interfaces-feel-better" phase. I refactored the selectedwork section, specifically dropping a cursor-follow preview tile that felt a bit too "heavy" and replaced it with something more streamlined. I also polished the index rows to make the transitions feel snappier. It’s about +452/-279 lines of code, which is a healthy amount of churn for a week that was supposed to be about "minor" updates. The Maintenance Grind My nvim config is basically a living organism at this point. I have CI set up to automatically track plugin updates, and this week was particularly noisy with 6 commits just keeping the toolchain current. It’s [skip ci] territory, but it ensures that when I sit down to actually write code, my editor isn't lagging behind the latest Lua API changes. I also did a quick version bump for

Last month, an AI coding agent handed me a beautiful fix. Five lines. Elegant. It reused an existing helper, matched the codebase style, compiled on the first try. Exactly the kind of diff we've all learned to praise since "make the agent write less code" became the standard advice. It was also completely untested, and it sat on a password-recovery path. That diff taught me something I now consider the central problem of AI-assisted coding in 2026: we've spent a year teaching agents to write less code, and almost no time teaching them to prove the code they kept actually holds. The two failure modes Every AI coding agent fails in one of two directions. Failure mode #1: the over-build. You ask for a date comparison; you get a new dependency, a ValidationService class, and a config layer. This one is well known — it's why minimal-code prompts and skills became popular, and they genuinely work on it. Failure mode #2: the confidently small diff. Minimal, clean, written after reading half the flow, verified never — dropped onto a path that handles money, auth, or user data. It compiles. It demos. It detonates in week three. Here's the uncomfortable part: fixing #1 aggressively makes #2 more likely. When the objective function is "shortest diff," the first things to quietly disappear are edge-case handling, failure-path tests, and the guard clause that looked optional. The diff gets smaller. The blast radius doesn't. A five-line change to a payment path is more dangerous than a four-hundred-line internal script that runs once. Code size is not risk. Blast radius is risk. Yet almost every skill and prompt in this category optimizes for size alone. What a guard does differently This is why I built Guardsman 💂 — an open-source skill that behaves less like a minimalist and more like the royal guard in front of the palace: nothing passes the post unchallenged, and the level of challenge depends on what's behind the gate. Three duties, on every task: 1. Read the standing orders

...now, I pride myself on being good at my job, I'm fast at catching mistakes, I'm efficient at...

A new side-by-side measurement shows Claude Code ships roughly 33,000 tokens of system prompt, tool schemas, and scaffolding before your prompt even arrives — about 4.7x the ~7,000 tokens OpenCode sends on the same setup. The bigger cost surprise is next: Claude Code re-wrote up to 54x more prompt-cache tokens per session, and cache writes bill at a premium. How the test was run The benchmark (published by Systima) spliced a logging proxy between each harness and the model endpoint, capturing the exact request payload and the API's usage block. Both harnesses were pinned to the same conditions: Claude Code 2.1.207 and OpenCode 1.17.18 , both pointed at claude-sonnet-4-5 Fresh config directories, empty workspace, no MCP servers, no instruction files, permissions bypassed Tasks ranged from "reply with OK" (isolating fixed overhead) to a write-run-test-fix loop against FizzBuzz A zero-tools variant separated system-prompt weight from tool-schema weight The payload captures are exact; the only adjustment was subtracting a constant ~6,200-token gateway envelope that wrapped every request in the test setup. The fixed floor Harness Fixed overhead before your prompt Cache-write behavior Claude Code 2.1.207 ~33,000 tokens Re-wrote tens of thousands of cache tokens per run; up to 54x OpenCode OpenCode 1.17.18 ~7,000 tokens Byte-identical prefix each run; cached once, read back cheaply OpenCode's request prefix was byte-identical in every captured run, so it paid to cache its payload once per session and read it back for pennies. Claude Code re-wrote large amounts of prompt-cache tokens mid-session, run after run — and because cache writes bill at a premium, one usage dashboard climbs while the other stays flat. Where it piles on in real setups The harness floor is only the start. The benchmark added variables one at a time: A production repository's 72KB instruction file added an average of ~20,000 tokens to every request. Five modest MCP servers added 5,000–7,000 more. By th

What’s up everyone! Back again for my daily drop. We talk a lot about deployment frequency and lead time for changes, but if you're a solo dev or part of a small team building something like LaunchAlly , there’s one metric that rules them all: Time to Recovery (TTR) from a bad push. When you're marketing, coding, and handling support all at once, a broken main branch is a massive bottleneck. Here is my quick tip for today: Invest 20 minutes into setting up strict automated rollbacks . If a deployment fails health checks, let the system revert it instantly without your intervention. Spend lots of hours working today...happy to go to bed now:) What’s your go-to strategy for handling failed deployments on the fly?

Submission: Edu-Insight Assistant What I build I built the Edu-Insight Assistant, a tool designed for educators to bridge the gap between complex school management data and actionable insights. It allows teachers to query students performance data using natural language, turning educational evaluation into a conversation rather than a manual data-processing task. Demo 🔗 Link: Passion-challenge How I Built It I utilized Next.js for a responsive, performant frontend and hooked it up to Google Gemini 3.5 API. The core logic involves a server-side API route that takes a teacher's natural language questions, prompt Gemini to generate the necessary SQL, and execute that query against a database. This architecture makes data exploration accessible to non-technical educators. Prize Categories: - Best Use of Google AI : Leveraged Gemini 3.5 Flash for natural language-to-SQL translation and result interpretation. - Best Use of Snowflake: Designed with an extensible data layer ready for production-scale analytical workloads in Snowflake.

Upgrading CI Workflows: From Node 20 to Node 22 and Actions v5/v6 TL;DR: I upgraded the CI workflows for the content-automation repository from Node 20 to Node 22 and Actions v5/v6, addressing compatibility issues and improving performance. Key changes included updating upload-artifact from v5 to v7 and implementing retry with backoff. The Problem The CI workflows for the content-automation repository were using Node 20 internally, despite the configuration specifying Node 20. This discrepancy caused compatibility issues with newer versions of the GitHub Actions. Specifically, the upload-artifact action was still on version 5, which was internally targeting Node 20. What I Tried First Initially, I attempted to update the upload-artifact action to version 7, which supports Node 22. However, this change alone did not resolve the issue, as other actions like checkout and setup-python were still on older versions. The Implementation To address the compatibility issues, I updated the following actions: upload-artifact from v5 to v7 checkout to v5 setup-python to v6 Here are the specific code changes: // .github/workflows/main.yml steps: - name: Checkout code uses: actions/checkout@v5 - name: Setup Python uses: actions/setup-python@v6 - name: Upload artifact uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7 Additionally, I implemented a retry mechanism with backoff for the CI workflows: // .github/workflows/main.yml steps : - name : Retry with backoff run : | for i in {1..3}; do if ./script.sh; then break else echo "Retry $i failed, backing off..." sleep $((i * 2)) fi done Key Takeaway The key takeaway from this experience is the importance of keeping CI workflows up-to-date with the latest versions of GitHub Actions. This not only ensures compatibility but also improves performance and reliability. What's Next Next, I plan to monitor the CI workflows for any issues and continue to optimize the retry mechanism for better performance. I will also explore other ways to improve the reliabili

hi, i am Aniruddha Adak, a full-stack developer from kolkata who spends way too much time building things with ai tools, shipping apps, and reading way too many github readmes at 2 am. i built 27 apps in 45 days using no-code and ai tools last year. that experience taught me one thing very clearly: the landscape of ai tooling for developers is moving insanely fast, and it is genuinely hard to keep up. so i sat down and did something about it. this is my deep research post on every ai tool, agent, builder, reviewer, and framework that developers, software engineers, and ai engineers should actually know about right now. i have organized it into categories so you can find what you need quickly. no fluff. just the tools, their sites, and what they do. why i wrote this i keep seeing developers waste time because they do not know the right tool exists. someone is manually reviewing pull requests for a week straight, not knowing coderabbit exists. someone else is hand-writing supabase schemas when emergent can do it in seconds. another person is spending days on a landing page when v0 can scaffold it in one prompt. this post is my attempt to fix that. i went through github repositories, dev communities, product hunt launches, and research aggregators to compile this. it is long. that is intentional. bookmark it. section 1: ai-native ides these are not just editors with a chatbot plugged in. these are environments built from the ground up around how language models think and work. tool site what it does cursor https://www.cursor.com forked vscode, codebase-aware context windows, multi-file edits with copilot-style background indexing windsurf https://windsurf.com cascade ai agent that writes files, runs terminal checks, and fixes things in real-time zed https://zed.dev built in rust with gpui, super low latency, native multiplayer coding support replit https://replit.com cloud ide with a full autonomous agent that runs inside serverless virtual workspaces google antigravit

AWS released an official Agent Toolkit that plugs Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor directly into your AWS account through a single MCP server. Instead of wiring up IAM roles and endpoints by hand, you install one plugin and the agent can search AWS docs, run sandboxed Python, and follow curated cloud skills with full CloudTrail audit logging. What the AWS Agent Toolkit Actually Is The Agent Toolkit for AWS is an open-source project (published on GitHub at aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws ) that bundles two things: The AWS MCP Server — a managed server that gives agents access to AWS through the Model Context Protocol. Agents can search AWS documentation and pull service information without authentication. To actually execute AWS API calls, run Python in a sandboxed environment, or follow curated skills, the agent authenticates through your existing IAM credentials. Agent plugins — single-install packages that bundle the MCP server configuration and a curated set of agent skills, so you don't configure endpoints and install skills one by one. The point is consolidation. One endpoint, IAM-based access controls, CloudWatch metrics, and CloudTrail logging of every API call for audit visibility. Which Agents It Supports Per AWS's own documentation, plugins ship for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor . Kiro connects to the AWS MCP Server directly without needing a plugin, and any MCP-capable agent can point at the server manually. The install flow is refreshingly short for Claude Code: /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official /reload-plugins The aws-core plugin is the recommended default — it bundles the MCP server config and skills covering service selection, infrastructure as code (CDK and CloudFormation), serverless, containers, storage, observability, billing, SDK usage, and deployment. A second plugin, aws-agents , provides additional agent-oriented capabilities. Why This Matters for Coding-Agent Users Until now, getting an agent to safely touch your cloud account meant h

Honestly, this wasn't supposed to become a project. There are already a few AI desktop assistants built around Rofi. They work, but they usually cover just one or two pieces of the puzzle. I wanted something that actually felt complete. So I kept adding things. Localization. TTS. Natural voices. Dark mode. Better prompts. Better UX. A lot of boring fixes that nobody notices until they're missing. I use it every single day, so if something breaks, it annoys me first. That's probably why it's been surprisingly stable. Where the idea actually came from My mom uses it too. That's actually where the whole idea came from. Her computer isn't exactly powerful, so I switched her to Linux. The problem is... Linux can be confusing when you're not into computers. And I can't always be around to help. Now she just asks Lumina instead of calling me. That alone made the project worth building. Publishing it on GitHub was kind of an afterthought. I figured maybe someone else is in the same situation, or maybe someone is trying Linux for the first time and wants something that makes the desktop feel a bit less intimidating. Why Rofi and not Eww One thing I wanted from day one was to keep everything native. That's why it's built on Rofi. I could've used Eww, but I didn't really want another layer running in the background just to draw a prettier window. Rofi is already insanely fast. I just kept pushing it until it did what I needed. Turns out, Rofi is capable of way more than people usually think. Code's up at github.com/Rafacuy/desklumina if you're curious how it's put together.

AI Doesn’t Replace Agile. It Makes Good Agile More Important. The discussion around AI replacing Agile is becoming increasingly common. The argument usually goes something like this: Information is now instantly accessible. Code can be generated in hours instead of weeks. Documentation is no longer expensive to produce. Communication overhead is dramatically reduced. If all of that is true, do we still need Agile? I believe the answer is yes—but perhaps not in the way we practice it today. The mistake is assuming Agile is defined by stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, or two-week iterations. Those are practices, not principles. The real purpose of Agile has always been much simpler: Deliver customer value incrementally while maintaining enough structure to ensure quality, accountability, and continuous learning. That objective hasn’t disappeared because AI became faster. AI Changes Execution, Not Responsibility Large language models can generate code, documentation, tests, infrastructure, and even architecture proposals. What they don’t generate is accountability. In enterprise environments—especially regulated industries—the question is rarely “Who wrote this code?” The real questions are: Who owns this decision? Why was this solution selected? Can we trace how we arrived here? Can we audit the process? Who is responsible when something fails? Without clear ownership and controlled handoffs, AI can produce enormous amounts of output that become increasingly difficult to understand, validate, or maintain. Speed without governance simply creates technical debt faster. Coordination Isn’t Going Away Many people assume AI eliminates the need for coordination. I would argue the opposite. As AI agents begin collaborating with humans—and eventually with other AI agents—the need for explicit coordination actually increases. Someone still needs to define: objectives, responsibilities, interfaces, quality gates, acceptance criteria, governance, and success metrics. Th

Hey DEV community! 👋 If you maintain open-source projects on GitHub, you probably love checking your repository's "Insights" tab. Seeing people clone, view, and star your project is an amazing feeling. But there are two catches that have always frustrated me: The Tedious Click-Fest: To see how your projects are doing, you have to manually open GitHub in your browser, navigate to each repository individually, click "Insights", and then click "Traffic". If you maintain 5+ repos, this becomes a chore real quick. The 14-Day Limit: Even worse, GitHub only keeps your traffic data for exactly 14 days. If you don't check your stats within that window, that data is gone forever. If you want a unified view and historical data, you either have to manually scrape it yourself, write a cron job, or pay a monthly subscription for a third-party SaaS tool. I didn't want to do any of those. So, I built my own solution. 🌟 Enter: Repo-rter Repo-rter is a completely free, 100% open-source desktop application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It fetches your GitHub traffic data and caches it locally on your machine, meaning you never lose your historical stats again. TIP Privacy First: Unlike SaaS alternatives, Repo-rter doesn't store your Personal Access Token (PAT) on any server. Everything runs locally on your machine, so your data remains strictly yours. ✨ Key Features Infinite History: Automatically merges new traffic data with your local cache. Say goodbye to the 14-day limit! Release Downloads Tracker: Wondering how many people downloaded your .exe or .dmg? Repo-rter tracks total and individual asset downloads across all your releases. Neo-Brutalist UI: I wanted the app to be fun to use, so it features a vibrant, gamified Neo-Brutalist design. Export to Markdown: Need to show off your stats? Generate and download a beautiful Markdown report of your repo's health and traffic with one click. Cross-Platform: Built with Tauri, it's incredibly lightweight and runs natively on Wi

Developers flagged a freshly filed, reproducible issue that should make anyone running background agents pause: Claude Code's background Opus subagents intermittently stall on their first turn and, instead of producing useful work, emit system-prompt fragments — including text shaped like authorization data — as their only output. It's labeled a security issue, it has a reproduction, and it's open. That's enough to treat it as a real, if intermittent, class of failure. Here's the mental model that matters: a subagent is not a trusted subprocess. It's an autonomous loop with access to a context window, a toolset, and — too often — the same credentials as its parent. When that loop stalls and dumps its prompt instead of its result, anything that was in context is now in output. Authorization-shaped text leaking is the canary: if the prompt carried a token, a session string, or an internal endpoint, that's what surfaces. The fix is structural, not reactive. Three rules: 1. Scope credentials per subagent, not per session. A background agent that only needs to read a repo shouldn't hold deploy keys. Hand it the narrowest token that completes its task and revoke it when the task ends. If the tooling can't scope credentials, that's a gap to close before you scale subagents. 2. Treat subagent output as untrusted. Anything a subagent returns — including error text, logs, and especially "stalled" dumps — should be parsed and sanitized before it touches shared state. Don't pipe raw subagent output into a context that feeds other agents or into any log that leaves your machine. 3. Separate the system prompt from the working context. The leak happened because authorization-shaped content sat in the same window the subagent could echo. Keep credentials and internal routing data out of the prompt that a stalled loop might surface. Put them in a side channel the model can call, not text it can print. The deeper lesson is about failure modes, not one bug. Most agent setups assume th

The feed showed a new entrant worth watching: Tencent has launched Hy3, a coding-focused AI model, with input tokens priced at $0.14 per million. For developers who live in the terminal running coding agents, that price point lands well below the per-token rates most frontier models charge, and it puts a major lab's coding model into the "cheap enough to leave running" category. What makes this interesting isn't just the number — it's the positioning. Hy3 is being pitched specifically as a coding AI, not a general chatbot, which suggests vendors are starting to carve out developer-facing models with their own pricing tiers rather than forcing coders to pay general-purpose rates. Developers spotted the launch in the daily AI news roundup and immediately started comparing it against the cost of running their existing agents. The catch, as always, is what the headline price doesn't tell you: output token cost, context-window limits, and how the model actually performs on real repository tasks all remain open questions. A low input price is meaningless if output is expensive or if the model needs five retries to get a diff right. Still, a credible cheap coding model from a major player is exactly the kind of pressure that nudges the whole category toward per-token transparency. If nothing else, it gives every other vendor a new number to justify theirs against.

The Ultimate Claude Masterclass: 13 Power Features Changing the AI Game Artificial Intelligence is no longer just about asking questions and getting text answers. Anthropic’s Claude has evolved from a simple chatbot into a fully autonomous, visual, and connected AI ecosystem. If you are still using it just to draft emails, you are barely scratching the surface. Whether you are a developer, content creator, or business professional, here is your definitive guide to the 13 powerhouse features of Claude, packed with practical examples, formatted specifically for Dev.to. 🧩 Part 1: Smart Onboarding & Personalization 1. Introduction to Claude Claude stands out in the crowded AI landscape because of its advanced reasoning, high emotional intelligence, and natural, human-like writing style. From parsing complex codebases to writing creative narratives, Claude feels less like a machine and more like a brilliant colleague. 2. Import Memory From ChatGPT To Claude Switching platforms shouldn't mean losing your progress. With this feature, you can instantly migrate your entire persona, past context, and custom instructions from ChatGPT straight into Claude with a single click. Example: If ChatGPT already knows your coding style or specific brand rules, importing it means Claude hits the ground running without you having to re-explain everything. 3. Add User Preferences Tired of typing "Act as a Senior Developer" or "Keep it casual" in every single prompt? User Preferences lets you set permanent system-level instructions that Claude remembers across all new conversations. Example: You can set a preference like: I manage a technology brand. Always keep explanations direct, modular, and optimized for scalability. 🎨 Part 2: Visuals, Coding & Apps 4. Create Apps & Artifacts Using Claude For Free Claude’s Artifacts feature opens a dedicated, interactive window right next to your chat. When you ask Claude to write code, a webpage, or a game, it doesn't just show you lines of text—it re

Most "AI email" demos never think about deletion. The agent reads, replies, files things away, and the inbox just grows. That's fine in a demo. It is a problem the first time a real person emails your agent, because the moment that mailbox holds someone else's name, address, order history, or support complaint, you've taken on a data-protection obligation — and "we kept everything forever" is not a defensible retention policy. An Agent Account on Nylas accumulates personal data you have to be able to purge. It's a mailbox the agent owns — support@yourcompany.com answering to a model instead of a human — and every inbound message lands in it. Under GDPR that data needs two things you can prove: a retention window so it doesn't live forever, and an erasure path so you can delete a specific person's mail when they ask. This post builds both, with the curl and the CLI for each step. A quick, honest caveat before any of it: this is a docs-and-demo walkthrough, not legal advice. The Nylas primitives below cover the mail held in the mailbox . Any derived copy you made — rows in your own database, lines in your application logs, a vector store you embedded the message into — is yours to purge separately. The API can delete the message; it can't reach into your Postgres. Keep that in mind throughout. What the platform gives you Nothing new to learn on the data plane. An Agent Account is just a grant with a grant_id , so everything you already know about Messages and Threads applies directly — listing, reading, and deleting mail run against the same grant-scoped endpoints any other Nylas integration uses. Retention and erasure split cleanly into two layers: Retention is a control-plane setting. It lives on a policy — an application-scoped resource that bundles limits and spam settings — attached to the workspace your Agent Account belongs to. Two fields cap how long mail survives: limit_inbox_retention_period and limit_spam_retention_period . Set them once and Nylas deletes a

Spam traps are the failure mode nobody puts in the demo. A bounce is loud — you get a 5.x.x back, your code logs it, you move on. A complaint at least gives you a webhook. A spam trap gives you nothing . The message gets accepted, no error comes back, and somewhere a mailbox provider quietly writes your domain down as a spammer. By the time you notice, your inbox placement has already cratered and you have no single bounce to point at. That's the trap, literally. And it's the one that bites autonomous agents the hardest, because the whole appeal of an agent is that it acts without a human watching every send. Point a model at a list it scraped, let it loop, and it'll happily mail a recycled address that's been a trap for two years. The agent never sees a problem. You only see the aftermath in your deliverability dashboard a week later. I work on the Nylas CLI, so the terminal commands below are the exact ones I reach for when I'm wiring up an Agent Account to not do this. The good news is that an Agent Account is just a grant — a grant_id that works with every grant-scoped endpoint you already know — so there's nothing new to learn on the data plane. The defense is mostly discipline: validate before you send, honor every complaint, and age out the addresses that never wanted to hear from you. What a spam trap actually is, and why it's not a bounce It's worth being precise here, because the three things people lump together behave completely differently. A bounce is a rejected delivery. The receiving server tells you the address is bad, you get a message.bounced event, and you stop. Bounce handling is a solved problem — you listen, you suppress, you're done. A complaint is a recipient hitting "report spam." The mailbox provider relays that back as a feedback loop, and you get a message.complaint event. The address is real and reachable; the human just doesn't want your mail. If you keep mailing them, you're training the provider to filter you. A spam trap is neither.

The best developer tools share one quality: you forget you are using them. Think about it. Your IDE fades into the background when you are in flow. Your terminal becomes muscle memory. These tools are invisible because they match your mental model so perfectly that there is zero friction between thought and action. This is exactly what online developer utilities should aspire to. The Problem with Fragmented DevTools Most developers have a bookmarks folder full of single-purpose websites: One for JSON formatting One for timestamp conversion One for Base64 encoding One for URL decoding Every switch between these tabs is a context loss. Every tool has a slightly different UI, different copy-paste format, different quirks. The Invisible Toolkit Opennomos Json (opennomos.com/en/project/01KJ850Z7PNGXHXESBM68HE12Y) consolidates timestamp conversion, JSON formatting, and Base64 encoding into a single workspace. No install. No accounts. No pricing tiers. Just open a tab and work. This is the north star for developer tools: make them so simple that the user never has to think about the tool itself — they only think about their actual task. The Trend Is Clear We have seen this pattern across the dev ecosystem: GitHub Codespaces made local IDE setup invisible Vercel made deployment invisible Replit made runtime environment invisible The next frontier is utility tools. The sooner they become invisible, the better. Try it: opennomos.com/en/project/01KJ850Z7PNGXHXESBM68HE12Y Part of the Nomos Build-in-Public series.
