Awesome. I had a crack at the Xerox Travel Scanner 150, which had niche drivers for some reason, only shipped Windows and didn't make it into SANE. Wireshark and prior art from SANE got me most of the way. Getting the stepper motor wor

My biggest worry is the small talk that you casually have in meetings. Comments about your pattern of life, family, locations, friends and health. Slurping all that up over 100s of meetings is concerning. Stored raw transcripts of meetings

I think this is because all frontier AI providers integrate with GitHub as a default git forge through their GitHub apps platform and their free tier is too generous. They should either charge some of these huge partners access to GitHub ap

I've been excited about OpenRouter's OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow for backendless BYOK inference. I just updated my Garmin watch AI app ( https://untether.watch/en/apps/byok ) to run the whole flow on the watch for

Nice idea. I recently published an article with a different twist. Static Vite+React site but all the backends are via OAuth PKCE and your customers bring their own. https://type2fun.net/infinitely-scalable-personal-apps I

Author here. Built some personal apps using OAuth/PKCE for auth, hosted as static sites. OpenRouter adds the AI. No backend, no database, no growing bill, minimal maintenance. I believe these frontend "Pixie apps" are a great

For me it was reverse engineering an obsolete travel scanner (should have just taken a photo ) and automating a document workflow. Something I knew was possible but impossible for me. This pulled me into BLE protocols and private APIs and i

I'm currently fighting Garmin's wonderful Connect IQ watch app platform (it's horrendous). I'm working on < https://untether.watch >. Trying to shift 20-30 micro phone interactions to the wrist per day

The issue is every AI coding tool integrates as a "GitHub App" (OAuth, PATs, webhooks etc.) first, over other code forges. This load is coming through their 3rd party app integrations. I bet the web/git volume isn't gett

You can make standalone Garmin Wifi Apps for free (you only have to pay if you want to charge). Do note that it's very janky. By default web requests proxy via the phone - if you want to try wifi you have to switch into a "modal w

I'm a solo dev working on a suite of Garmin apps in order to make the sportswatch into a fully flung smartwatch, with the intent of enabling you to reduce screentime (mobile) but still maintain "essential functionality" and l

I’m working a Garmin watch app to query all the rich data on the watch (health, physical, environmental, location sensors) from the watch + general AI assistant. Privacy focused using your own keys and Gemini. API calls direct from watch -

Have a look at the Internet Printing Protocol. I built a NodeJS app that pretended to be a printer and could receive real time transactional data from a legacy POS/software. No drivers required… supports HTTP auth… all OS’s have great

I recently did the same thing. Hit 30; reflected on last decade. I had moderate success consulting but didn’t get a single product off the ground. Considering the lost potential earnings, the need to reset savings and the lack of a pension
