I built a WhatsApp/Telegram group directory with zero coding background — here's the whole, unfiltered story

I'm not a developer. I want to say that upfront, because it matters for everything that follows. This isn't a polished "here's my SaaS" post. This is the real version — the version where I almost gave up twice, broke my own security without knowing it, got rejected by every directory I tried to use before I built my own, and still ended up shipping something real. If you've ever stared at a blank...

Zenoh's put is fire-and-forget, get isn't — a read-after-write race in Elixir

This English version is an AI translation of my original article on Qiita (in Japanese). Background I've been experimenting with Zenoh via its Elixir bindings, Zenohex, not for its usual pub/sub use case but for its put/get storage feature. It mostly worked, except every so the state I picked back up was one step behind. Digging into why turned into a fun rabbit hole, so here's the wri...

Building Shiksha: What I Learned Creating a Real-Time AI English Coach in 10 Days

Building Shiksha: An AI English Coach for Indian Learners For many Indian learners, the biggest barrier to speaking English fluently isn't a lack of vocabulary or grammar rules learned in school—it's speaking anxiety and the fear of making mistakes in front of peers or teachers.

PawDOS 95: A browser operating system for dogs

This is a submission for the Weekend Challenge: Dog Days Edition. My submission is PawDOS 95, a fake desktop operating system built for dogs. Built to boot like a 1995 PC, it tracks squirrels, monitors the mailman, manages treats, and tries to explain humans with a translator. The main feature is DogPrompt. It looks like a DOS terminal, but it accepts normal sentences. Gemini does more than answ...

I checked what 6 AI coding tools write to disk to stop the agent forgetting its plan. Half write nothing.

Every AI coding tool has the same top complaint: "it forgot what we were doing." I spent weeks assuming that was a context-window problem. It mostly isn't. It's a filesystem problem — and you can predict which tools suffer from it by asking one question: where does the plan get written down? The bug that made me go looking Our own builder had it badly. You'd say "build me a CRM," the ...

One-Shot UI Side Effects in BlocSignal: Snackbars, Dialogs, and Navigation Without State Pollution

Every Flutter developer has run into the Sticky State Dilemma. You build a login screen. When authentication fails, your state container emits an error. You catch it in your UI and show a SnackBar. Everything works—until the user rotates their phone, pulls down the notification shade, or types on the virtual keyboard. Suddenly, the widget tree rebuilds. The state container is still holding AuthE...

An open-source, modular CMS for developers and AI-assisted/vibe-coded websites.

For years, the CMS ecosystem has largely followed the same formula. Install a CMS. Choose a theme. Install plugins. Customize some templates. Add an API when you need one. Then, eventually, try to connect everything to AI. But the way we build software has changed. Developers increasingly work alongside AI coding assistants. People are building websites by describing what they want instead of m...

Codex CLI 0.147: Test Agent Plugins, Approvals, and MCP Separately

Codex CLI 0.147 combines several changes that affect different trust boundaries. Treating the upgrade as one pass/fail event misses the failures that matter. The short answer Test five things independently: One portable Agent Plugin. One --approve-for-me boundary. One MCP server using the opt-in 2026-07-28 protocol. One imported skill or conversation.

Welcome back to the Harness Engineering series — a 10-part journey from raw language model to production-ready agentic system. Made by builders. For builders.

Help with borders

Hi, I'm fairly new to CSS and cannot for the life of me figure out how to achieve a border like this. It needs to just be a simple straight line across the top of the box and then the outer box needs to have rounded corners. Border-top creates a curved border.
