Elon musk has launched


Wikipedia's alternative an fully open source site Grokipedia.com

in the official docs of shadcn they states initilizing shadcn through bun

bunx --bun shadcn@latest init 

but, I faced some difficulties, for example the initialization is not completed it just loads, then I did some digging and I found some reddit post and it cooled my frustration the correct way of initializing is

bun x --bun shadcn@latest init 

the solution is just add some spacing between the bun and x

I’m planning to build a B2B (student-to-student) platform where students can buy and sell products. For example, students can sell used items, or products purchased from AliExpress, to other students who want to buy them. I’ve seen many Telegram channels where people post ads for their products, but you usually have to pay to post. On this platform, posting and selling products will be completely free. The project will be open source so anyone can access it.

I’m planning to use Next.js + MongoDB + Better Auth.

I chose Next.js because of its server-side rendering optimization and improved SEO.

I am bad at naming things😂, any idea about the platform name

I've called it "Suq"

Here is the header and the hero section i am working out, i am not good at designing things😭

Next js is improving a lot

tried the next proxy.ts which replaces middleware.ts in the new next js 16

I've finished some side project, I'll share it later

Have you ever used IDM in windows?

As someone who spent a lot of time on Windows using IDM to download YouTube videos, I faced a challenge when I switched to Linux: there’s no downloader with that convenient floating icon to grab videos instantly.

Being a broke developer with a problem to solve, I decided to build my own.

I created FastTubeDownloader, inspired by IDM, for Linux. It’s currently v1, but I’ll be improving it iteratively, aiming to make it the biggest open-source downloader in the world.

It uses yt-dlp for downloading YouTube videos and aria2 to speed up downloads.

📥 Installation

Option 1: GitHub Repository
Visit the repo and follow the instructions:
https://github.com/Dawaman43/FastTubeDownloader

Option 2: Quick Install
Run this command in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dawaman43/FastTubeDownloader/main/scripts/easy_install.sh | bash

🌐 Browser Integration (Chrome)

Load the extension:

chrome://extensions → Developer Mode → Load unpacked → Select project root


Example project root: /opt/FastTubeDownloader


then clone the repo and open that cloned directory

Generate a permanent extension ID:

python3 tools/generate_extension_key.py


Example output:

Extension ID: ncfjijookndenoockeadgaidnpdlgmeh


Reload the unpacked extension in Chrome.

Run ./setup.sh and enter the Extension ID when prompted, so native host permissions are configured correctly.

I am planning to build something big and I got this score in https://www.dontbuildthis.com/
