I just got 2 back to back comments to my 6 month old post. Both accounts look suspicious, first picture made 5 comments in less than a minute.
They're searching for post titles that include 2026 apparently, and posting likely AI generated comments
Let's kill the internet faster!!!
I have an application (it's a tunnel/parser for the Apache Guacamole protocol tuned to our needs) that basically needs to support TLS-enabled websocket streaming and some parsing (chopping up the messages into appropriately-sized chunks and then passing them over TLS-enabled TCP basically) with low latency and not too much server load for a small number of concurrent users (say 50). It also needs some other basic stuff like crypto, and if it can template and serve the frontend and handle OIDC that's a bonus but not a requirement, I could run it as two apps. It will mainly run on Rocky Linux 9 machines.
Currently I have the server implemented with Bun to keep it easy to build and not having to deal with Node.js dependency hell, but with the recent meme-tier Bun rewrite I want to move away from it.
I have mainly considered Go, but apparently the Go standard library lacks websocket support. Is coder/websocket stable and simple to work with?
Python would be easy, but I'm worried about the concurrent connections and parsing being a bit much for it latency wise. It would be useful to have input here, I know it's totally fine for proxying this type of traffic for single clients, or multiple ones in cases where there is not much data wrangling, and maybe it would perform acceptably here too. Also not sure what library for websockets would be best in that case.
I could do Java, but it's just so tedious I'd prefer to avoid it.
My C++ is a bit rusty and I feel like it'd be too much work to make it robust, but I've considered it. Would also be tedious.
C# - would rather just do Java.
PHP - no, just no.
So I'm gravitating towards Go. Thoughts? My proficiencies in most of these languages are middling as I'm more of an operations guy than a developer, except for Python where I have expert-level proficiency from my PhD, but I haven't really poked much at websocket stuff with it. So I'm considering a trial rewrite in Python since the application isn't huge to begin with.
Hey all, I've been building a little side project called MakerBuddy (https://makerbuddy.de) โ basically a bunch of free 3D printing tools (STL viewer, cost calculator, gridfinity/skadis generators, keychain maker, QR codes, etc.) plus a growing database of printers and filaments you can browse and compare.
The printer and filament databases are the part I care most about getting right, and honestly they're only as good as the data in them. So two things I'd love help with:
The tools themselves are free and need no signup โ the account's just for contributing to the databases.
Would genuinely appreciate any thoughts, good or brutal.
I think Antigravity, ClaudeCode, Codex and so on are amazing, however very hard to track what exactly has been changed without having to look through a 10k line diff on git.
My friends and I started this open-source proejct to visualize software architectures. We found out that we are also curious how big of an effect does each agent change have, this way we can stop Antigravity early as soon as we notice it messed up, without having to read every line (saving also on tokens and time).
Our project is based on static analysis alongside LLMS and you can find it on github:
https://github.com/CodeBoarding/CodeBoarding
If you have any suggestions, please open an issue there.
I am also super curious to hear how do you guys know if Antigravity messed up, do you always wait till it is fully done, I feel like I don't have the patience anymore :D (neither the tokens...)
Would love to answer questions in the comments and hear how do you guys use Antigravity effectively.
Hey ๐
DISCLAIMER: I'm co-leading the org/project.
We recently broke 6M downloads per week on NPM, and became 3rd after `drizzle-orm` and `@prisma/client`.
If you haven't tried it yet, it's a query builder, not an ORM. You don't outsource your SQL to someone else. It's type-safe, like.. it's super important to us. You can use it with ORMs - e.g. Prisma, mikro-orm, zenstack, etc. Allows you to compose some complex stuff but keep it maintainable af.
If you have. Great seeing ya'll here.
0.29 was a real nice release, with lots of goodies. Can't wait for 0.30, gonna be super fun.
Paste any public URL and it scans your key pages, takes screenshots, and flags usability and accessibility issues - like a quick health check for any live site.
Ran it on Skyscanner this week. It caught things like missing alt text, low contrast text, inconsistent CTAs, and confusing nav patterns across 5 pages in about 4 minutes - a total of some 32 issues i think?
Works as a web tool and as a Figma plugin.
Web tool: https://snapsiteux.com
Figma plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1632806800145699898
Would love to hear what you guys think. Also feel free to run it on your site if you want to see what it catches. Or, comment your website below and happy to share your score with you :-)
This isn't something as simple as giving any AI agent a url and asking it for some critique. this is a true audit.
Hey r/micro_saas, I built a tool that helps indie developers and small mobile app teams create high-converting landing pages for their apps.
We currently have 60+ users and over 100 landing pages created. Iโd really appreciate it if you could give it a try and share your honest feedback. Thanks!
I finally shipped it.
Spent the last 2 weeks building a proper translation pipeline for a JS/PHP/HTML app. JS and PHP were easy with standard gettext tooling. HTML was the real nightmare. You know, rich text, links, bolds, nested HTML... And all had to work with AI translator reliably.
HTML translations are not just "replace string A with string B". You need:
Tons of small things like this one, see how translation for a homepage badge varies from language to language?
<small>Since</small> <b>2015</b>
<small>่ช</small><b>2015</b><small>ๅนด่ตท</small>
<b>2015</b> <small>รณta</small>
Same meaning. Different structure.
Then comes the fun part:
Add a language. Run one command. Entire app translated.
Seeing months of internationalization pain collapse into a single command feels slightly unreal.

What do you guys use for webdesign inspo in 2026?
always looking for new places for UI inspiration, interactions, landing pages, typography, motion stuff etc
my current go tos are:
โข details.so
โข mobbin.com
โข godly.website
would love to find some lesser known gems too, especially for modern SaaS sites, portfolios, creative dev stuff, etc...
thought it could be cool to make this thread a solid resource ppl can come back to
Hey r/webdev,
I'm a big fan of Excalidraw's instant-canvas feel and Figma's clean panel layout. I wanted that same low-friction experience for pixel art and game sprites, basically Aseprite's workflow without the install, so I built Spearite.
It runs entirely in your browser. No signup, no server. Your work auto-saves locally, and you can export a .spearite file to move projects between machines.
For drawing you've got pencil, bucket, line, rectangle, ellipse, eraser, marquee, lasso, and magic wand for selections. Animation is a multi-frame timeline with onion skinning.
When you're done you can export PNG sprite sheets with JSON/XML metadata that drop straight into Unity, Godot, or whatever engine you're on. Shortcuts are Aseprite-compatible (H/B/E/G and so on), so your muscle memory carries right over.
It's an early v1 and built for game devs making sprites and animations. Try it out and let me know if you have any feedbacks.
Try it out: https://spearite.com/
I kept ending up with the same messy workflow for small edge functions:
Wrangler in the terminal, the Cloudflare dashboard in one tab, Postman for testing, ChatGPT for debugging, and Terraform/Pulumi sitting somewhere half-updated.
So I built Edge Deployer, a local desktop app for writing, previewing, scanning, and deploying edge/serverless functions from one place.
What it does right now:
eval(), wildcard CORS, and similar issuesThe part I spent the most time hardening was the plugin system. An earlier version trusted plugins too much, and a test plugin managed to delete files it should never have touched. Plugins now run in vm.Context with an explicit permission manifest: no require, no fs, and no network unless the user approves it.
Honest limitations: the simulator is not Workerd, Durable Objects are not really executed, KV does not persist between requests yet, and the macOS build is unsigned.
Repo: https://github.com/mansoor-mamnoon/edge-deployer
Iโm mainly looking for feedback from people who actually deploy Workers/Lambda/serverless functions. Is a local-first desktop workflow useful here, or would you rather this kind of tool be browser-based?
Any idea why Chrome doesn't render curvy svg image correctly ?
Upper logo is a png export from the svg in Inkscape (img tag with srcset for 1x, 2x and 3x screens). It renders beautifully on all tested browsers.
Lower logo is the svg directly inlined in the markdown. It looks aliased on Chrome (first screenshot), and as good as the png on Firefox (last screenshot). It also look good on Safari.
Screenshots where made on a 1x screen. Albeit lighter the aliasing persists on a 2x screen, and is unnoticeable on a 3x screen.
I use this logo a lot in my app, in different sizes and colors, so it's more convenient as a svg, but I can't accept this ugly aliasing.
Anything I can do ? I already set shape-rendering="geometricPrecision" on all my <path /> but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Edit: it seems to be a known issue with chrome and GPU Rasterization:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40827297
One of my client's websites, which uses WordPress has been seeing a massive uptick in Googlebot requests. All the requested paths look to be randomly generated phrases with a "o-<6-7 digit random number>" appended to the end. It began as a few requests every hour to hundreds of requests every few minutes. This site receives less than 100 organic visits every day, with no change since this began. I'm about to just block Googlebot because all these requests are hitting my origin. Anyone else having this issue?
UPDATE: I think it's the CloudFlare AI Labyrinth setting. I've disabled it and am monitoring to see if it continues.
Gonna say something that might ruffle some feathers - I've talked to probably 30+ small business owners in the last year. Consultants, physios, little agencies, home service guys, tutors. All kinds. Almost every single one had the same problems:
And you know what most of them thought the solution was?
A NEW WEBSITE
Your website isn't why you're losing clients. Your chaos is. The businesses I've seen actually grow aren't the ones with the prettiest site. They're the ones where stuff just... works. Inquiry comes in - automatically followed up. Client books - automatically onboarded. Week ends - report already in your inbox. The website is the shop window. But if the shop inside is a mess, no amount of window dressing fixes that.
Hey y'all!
About a month ago I posted about Sarmal. I initially planned it as a library to produce animated parametric curves.
Through feedback and my own mockups, I kind of realized that it does not work too well on a smaller scale, so it did not really seem like a good idea to pursue it as an animated "spinner" library that you can place inside a button. So, I would personally say that what this came to be is more a centerpiece loading indicator or just a visual decoration, really.
I ended up adding a draw mode to my Playground page, which you can use to create your custom curve without having to do any parametric calculations!
The first thing I built with it was the Artemis II mission trajectory as a curve, which honestly is rather a crude approximation of something that was built on scientific precision. I will need to revisit that curve :)
I also added many export options, but since I don't really have much of a userbase, I don't honestly know which are actually useful export options or which essential export options I did not even consider adding.
But one cool thing is you can losslessly import back the SVG you exported from draw mode and continue exactly where you left off!

Hey!
I'm new to the dev world and I started this app with a school friend who had this tea app idea for years...
What started as an end-of-year full-stack project turned into something we couldn't stop working on after graduation. So here we are.
What is TeaCorner?
An app for adding, managing, brewing, and sharing tea. The UI is intentionally minimalist โ we want the focus to stay on the real-life experience of making tea. We're also designing a 'focus mode', where users can challenge themselves to meditate and be present during the brewing process.
The stack:
You can play around with our Figma prototype here: https://www.figma.com/proto/WIHaXhHJBHvtw3wAUwwbDQ/TeaCorner?page-id=0%3A1&node-id=5715-2412&viewport=5274%2C-4398%2C0.51&t=m9lm6f32Yb2WRubL-1&scaling=min-zoom&content-scaling=fixed&starting-point-node-id=5715%3A2412
For now, I'm only sharing the design part because the app is still being built and it is not complete enough to be shown.
We're two indie devs working on this in our spare time โ always open to feedback, technical or otherwise. What would you have done differently?
Thanks for your time! ๐ต
PS: If you want to follow our project or test the app we have a discord server, dm me for the link!
