That lets owners tap into SpaceX's constellation of low Earth orbit Starlink satellites to track their pets anywhere in the US. But it […]

CNTRL by Omnikon Org Selected for Elite Coders Summer of Code (ECSoC) 2026
🚀 CNTRL by Omnikon Org Selected for Elite Coders Summer of Code (ECSoC) 2026 Building an AI-first browser for developers—and taking the next step through ECSoC 2026. Open source has always been one of the best ways to learn, collaborate, and build software that makes a difference. Today, I'm excited to share a milestone that means a lot to our team. Our project CNTRL , developed by Omnikon Org , has officially been selected for Elite Coders Summer of Code (ECSoC) 2026 ! 🎉 This selection gives us an incredible opportunity to collaborate with contributors worldwide and continue building a browser that's designed from the ground up for developers. 💡 Why We Started CNTRL Every developer has experienced this workflow: Open documentation Search GitHub Ask an AI assistant Open Stack Overflow Copy code Switch back to the IDE Repeat... The browser has become the center of development, but it still isn't designed for developers. We wanted to change that. Instead of building another browser, we started building one where AI is part of the experience—not another tab. 🌐 What is CNTRL? CNTRL is an AI-powered browser built for developers. Our vision is to create a browser that understands how developers work and helps them stay focused. Some of the ideas we're working toward include: 🤖 AI-assisted coding 📖 Context-aware documentation 💬 Built-in developer assistant ⚡ Faster research workflows 🔌 Extensible architecture 🌍 Community-driven open source The project is still evolving, and ECSoC gives us the perfect platform to accelerate its development. 🏆 Selected for ECSoC 2026 Being selected for Elite Coders Summer of Code 2026 is a huge milestone for our organization. It means we'll have the opportunity to: Collaborate with talented contributors Improve the project's architecture Build exciting new features Learn from the community Grow CNTRL into an even better developer tool We're incredibly thankful to the ECSoC team for believing in our vision. 🌍 About Omnikon Org Omnikon Org is

5 things that surprised me building on HMRC's Making Tax Digital API
I spent the last while building the HMRC integration for TapTax , a Making Tax Digital (MTD) app for UK sole traders. MTD is the UK government's programme that pushes tax filing out of paper and spreadsheets and into software talking directly to HMRC's APIs. I have integrated with a fair few third-party APIs. Stripe, Plaid-style banking, the usual. HMRC is its own animal. Some of it is genuinely well designed, some of it caught me completely off guard, and a couple of things cost me a full day each before the penny dropped. So here are the five things that surprised me most. Each one is the surprise, then the fix, with a short snippet from our actual TypeScript backend. Not tax advice, just engineering notes from someone who has now stepped on the rakes so you do not have to. 1. The API version lives in the Accept header, and getting it wrong is a 406 Most APIs version in the URL: /v2/thing . HMRC versions through content negotiation. You ask for a version in the Accept header, like application/vnd.hmrc.5.0+json , and if you ask for a version that endpoint does not serve, you get a 406 Not Acceptable . No helpful "did you mean v3" message. Just 406. The part that bit me: different endpoints are on completely different versions at the same time. Obligations is on v3.0, the self-employment cumulative summary is on v5.0, calculations are on v8.0, ITSA status is on v2.0. There is no single "current" version to pin. The fix was to make the version a required argument on the request wrapper so you can never forget it, and set it per call: // src/services/hmrcApi.ts const headers = { Authorization : `Bearer ${ accessToken } ` , Accept : `application/vnd.hmrc. ${ apiVersion } +json` , // e.g. "5.0" ... hmrcConfig . getFraudHeaders ( req ), }; One more trap: versions get withdrawn. Obligations used to answer on v2.0; that now returns a 404, not a 406, so it looks like a missing resource rather than a stale version. When an HMRC call 404s, check the version before you go hunt
