I used to check my bank balance at the end of every month and just stare at it.Good salary. Nothing saved. No idea where it went.I tried spreadsheets. I tried Mint. I tried YNAB. Every app was either too complex, too expensive, or just not something I'd actually open every day.So I built my own.What is Spendly?Spendly is a free, clean monthly expense tracker built for people who just want to know where their money goes — without learning a new system.No bank account linking. No subscription. No

I needed a dead-simple way to fix rotated PDFs without sending them to a server. Most tools want you to upload the file, wait for processing, then download it. For scans and contracts that's a dealbreaker.So I built en.sotool.top/rotate — pick a PDF, choose the pages and angle, get a correctly oriented file. All in the browser. No server involved.Here's how it works under the hood with Vue 3 and pdf-lib. Why Client-Side?The obvious reason is privacy. Scans, contracts, medical records — peop
GitHub stars are the default way we judge a JS project's popularity. But stars measure who's watching a project, not who's shipping with it. So I pulled GitHub stars and npm weekly downloads for 14 JS frameworks to see how far apart "mindshare" and "actual usage" really are.The gap was bigger than I expected. The most-installed tools aren't the most-starredThree anchors: Hono has 31k stars and 44.8M installs/week. TanStack Query, 49.8k stars and 58.5M installs/week. Next.js, 140k stars and

A practical, code-first tour of Angular 22's biggest change-detection shift — what breaks, what doesn't, and how to migrate without surprises*Quick question before we get into it: when was the last time you added ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush to a component, ran the app, and then spent the next ten minutes wondering why a value on screen just... stopped updating?If you've written Angular for more than a few months, that probably rings a bell. OnPush has always been the "fast lane" — fewer
<p>Having been using NextJS for over 3 years for my personal projects i've decided to give Vue a chance to see what it's all about and boy, i can't express enough how much i've fell in love with it.</p><p>Everything feels faster, more concise, less error-prone and i really appreciate that, almost like by default it gives my apps a structure that i don't even have to worry too much about and this is very useful when building no brainer projects.</p>
I'm a frontend developer and have worked as one for almost a decade. One of the biggest and most frustrating parts when developing, and even more so with AI-development, has been maintaining a UX-friendly application that follows the WCAG standards of today. We have great analysis tools such as Lighthouse to see what goes wrong, but not so much in how to fix things before they are shipped.So that's where the idea behind ZemDomu started. ZemDomu is a semantic linter for HTML/JSX/TSX and Vue that
A manager opens an AI-generated report.The first sentence reads:“It has been determined that the current structure is no longer sustainable.”No person appears in the sentence.Nobody determined anything.There is no named analyst, no visible method, no threshold, no competing interpretation and no accountable decision-maker. Yet the statement already sounds more authoritative than:“Based on the limited information available, the model predicts that the structure may create problems.”The two senten
Project management applications vary widely in scope. This post focuses on a specific slice — Gantt charts and calendar views: the two components that are hardest to build from scratch and most critical for visualizing project timelines and schedules.If you're building anything that needs to answer "what's happening when, in what order, and who's responsible for all of this?" — a project planner, resource scheduler, or content calendar — you'll likely need one or both. Here are the most popular
Mastra npm Packages Compromised in easy-day-js Supply Chain Attack: What Developers Must KnowThe Mastra npm packages compromise is one of the largest targeted software supply chain attacks seen in the JavaScript ecosystem to date. In June 2026, attackers exploited a hijacked npm contributor account — specifically ehindero — and mass-published malicious versions of 144 packages under the @mastra namespace. As Mastra serves as a popular open-source JavaScript and TypeScript framework for artificia

Every developer who needs to automate screenshots eventually asks: should I run Puppeteer/Playwright myself, or use a screenshot API? I've done this comparison across multiple projects. Here's the honest breakdown. The DIY Headless Chrome ApproachRunning your own Puppeteer instance looks simple:const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');async function screenshot(url) { const browser = await puppeteer.launch(); const page = await browser.newPage(); await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networ
In the previous article, we discussed Encapsulation and how objects should control changes to their own state.Now let's talk about another fundamental concept of Object-Oriented Programming: Abstraction.Like always, let's start with a problem. The ProblemImagine you own a car.To drive it, you do a few simple things:Start the engine.Press the accelerator.Apply the brakes.Turn the steering wheel.You don't need to know:How fuel is injected into the engine.How the pistons move.How the gearbox c
When developers first learn Node.js, one question often comes up:If Node.js is single-threaded, how can it handle thousands of requests at the same time?The answer lies in the Event Loop, one of the most powerful features of Node.js.In this guide, you'll learn how the Node.js Event Loop works, why it's so efficient, and how it enables high-performance applications. What Is the Node.js Event Loop?The Event Loop is the mechanism that allows Node.js to perform non-blocking operations despite u

Main PointsTherefore, MEAN is all about combining MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, and Node.js in a single JavaScript environment. All languages involved use the same programming language, and it definitely makes everything simpler during development. It is perfect when developing scalable web apps.The difference between MEAN and MERN consists in replacing Angular with React while keeping the rest components identical. MERN allows using React for designing the front-end part of the applicatio
