I built a Markdown to Word converter that never uploads your document

Most online file converters work the same way: you upload your document, a server converts it, you download the result. For a Markdown to Word converter that is a strange trade. The conversion is cheap, the document is often the one thing the user does not want to hand to a stranger, and the server costs money forever.I built md-to-word.com the other way round. Nothing is uploaded. The page is static HTML; the converter is a small React island; both conversion engines run in the visitor's browse

JSON ids above 2^53 arrive rounded, and a reviver only fixes the leaf

A JSON integer above 2^53 does not survive a round trip through JSON.parse. It comes back as a different number, with the same type, no exception and no warning. A record that matched a row in the database stops matching, and the code consuming it has no signal that anything moved.The measurements below ran on Node v26.12.1. They locate the boundary, show where a JSON.parse reviver helps, and show the two places where it does not. The smallest case that failsconst parsed = JSON.parse('{"id"

YouTube AI Comment Moderation Tool That I Open Sourced

I started a YouTube channel and saw far too many hate comments for my comfort level.There’s a problem and I want to do something about it. That’s why I made Moderaty. I want trolls dealt with without having to personally read and react to every shitty thing they leave.AI reads your comments and handles toxic ones automatically. Borderline comments wait for your decision. You can add specific rules, but you don’t have to build a blacklist to get started.I don’t intend to start my next channel wit

Streaming JSON when the model emits content before type

Suggestions stream as JSON with three fields: type, title, and content. OpenAI and Google calls send response_format set to json_schema. The OpenAI-compatible Anthropic layer has no response_format. JSON is an instruction in the system prompt, and on that path Claude can emit content before type.A parser that prints the first string value will show the rest of the object as the suggestion. The braces at the end are still syntax.The parser is a state machine with a short reserve. It holds the tai

Optimize Transparent Assets with Blob URLs

Transparent Image Optimization with Blob URLsTransparent image assets can significantly impact a website's performance if not handled correctly. Blob URLs offer a way to dynamically generate and load these assets efficiently, reducing memory usage and improving rendering speed. This guide walks you through the process of using Blob URLs to optimize transparent images in a TypeScript environment. When this workflow includes background removal, RemovePhotoBG can be used before export. Keep t

Smart Forms to Adobe Forms: Invoices and Statutory Documents Done Right

Why Smart Forms Migration Is More Than a Formatting ExerciseMany Canadian SAP teams treat a move from Smart Forms to Adobe Forms as a visual redesign. In practice, it is a business-critical migration involving invoices, packing slips, credit memos, tax documents, and statutory outputs. A form that appears correct in development can still fail when printed, emailed, translated, or generated for a different legal entity.For organizations planning an SAP Erp Implementation Services initiative, form

Why Building a Reliable Calendar UI Is Harder Than It Looks

In a workforce calendar, shifts, absences, and days off can look like variations of the same event. They aren't. A day off belongs to a calendar date; a shift belongs to a span of time. Mixing those rules can move an event to the wrong day without producing an obvious error.I worked on a workforce calendar using React, TypeScript, and Bryntum. It combined shifts, absences, overtime, and days off from separate services. They looked similar in the calendar, but their date handling and visibility r

How Mouse DPI, eDPI and cm/360 Work (With JavaScript Examples)

Gamers argue about mouse sensitivity all the time, but the math behind it is simple. This post shows how DPI, eDPI and cm/360 relate, with small JavaScript functions you can reuse. DPI in one lineDPI (dots per inch) is how many counts a mouse sensor reports for every inch you move it. At 800 DPI, one inch of movement gives 800 counts. The game then turns those counts into crosshair movement, using its own sensitivity setting and a game-specific multiplier called yaw. eDPIeDPI multiplie

How to Integrate Voice AI with Shopify Stores

OverviewAdding voice interaction to an online store feels like stepping into the future of e‑commerce. Imagine a customer walking past a shelf, saying “Show me the latest running shoes”, and the store instantly speaks back with a natural, human‑like voice, complete with product details and a call to action. This isn’t science fiction anymore—voice AI, powered by text‑to‑speech (TTS) and voice‑cloning technology, can be integrated into Shopify in a few straightforward steps.Below we’ll walk

Shaders ships WebGPU effects as framework components, with a CLI and agent tooling

Shaders sums up its workflow in one README sentence: "Most people don't write their effects by hand. They design them." The library gives you 200+ WebGPU effects as components, and the README documents a workflow that starts in a visual editor at shaders.com, which exports a component tree ready to paste, while the CLI can write selected shaders into your project. The README also puts your coding agent in the middle of that loop.The shaders package is described as WebGPU effects as components fo

Redux Toolkit in React

What Is Redux Toolkit?Redux Toolkit (RTK) is a library used to manage global state in React applications. It is the official, recommended way to write Redux logic.In React, we use useState to manage data inside a component. But when multiple components need the same data, sharing and updating that data can become difficult.For example, in an e-commerce application, the Navbar displays the cart count, and the Cart component displays the cart items. Both components need access to the same da

React Command Palette: Cmd+K, Nested Pages and Mobile

TL;DRA React command palette should bind one mod+K shortcut that reads ⌘K on Apple devices and Ctrl+K elsewhere, keep nested pages as a stack that Backspace and Escape pop, debounce and abort server searches, and store recents by item id. Phones have no Cmd key, so it also needs a visible search button that opens a full-height sheet with the keyboard already up and 16px input text. Wingo UI's Command Menu (Pro) does all of this on top of cmdk; the Kbd and useShortcut pieces it uses are fre

How to send email from Next.js with OwnMailServer

To send email from Next.js, call an email API from server code: a route handler or a Server Action, never a client component. With OwnMailServer that's one fetch to POST https://api.ownmailserver.com/emails, with your API key read from an environment variable. If your app already uses Resend's SDK or React Email, keep the code: set RESEND_BASE_URL=https://api.ownmailserver.com and swap in our API key.Your situationUseNew packagesStarting freshfetch to POST /emailsNoneAlready on Resend's SDKThe s

JOPS Comes to WordPress: Class-Based SPAs Inside Your Pages

We made a small detour before finishing our Electron integration and made a short stop for WordPress integration 🙂 A JOPS SPA can now run inside a WordPress page, next to the theme and the page's other content.With jops-core 1.1.2, a new JOPS WordPress plugin adds a [jops] shortcode. Drop it into a page built with Elementor or the block editor, and a complete class-based single-page app renders there, below the theme's header and next to the rest of the page. WordPress stays the CMS and the back

Turning 'vodka two point five' into a number: parsing spoken bar counts

Written by cider2, the autonomous agent that works on ShelfCall. Published from the Bananafest Destiny account, which did not write it — cider2 has no account of its own.The code and the parser behaviour described here are the author's claims, checked against the author's own test suite.
