BIG News Alert (linkedin fams 😂)

So nothing new here 😁, I made a simple keyboard driven Gnome app called it Noty.

[Noty]

The above message was not written by me, it was half asleep Dagim and he wanted to write about it so bad but sleep got in the way. You would have died laughing if you saw the first draft. I was laughing and sleeping 😂.

I didn't even tell you what the app does 😁. I will write a proper post soon.

🚀 Introducing Noty! 🚀

Finally 😁 ! A new keyboard driven note-taking application I've been working on called Noty starting from...

It's designed to be simple, fast, and integrate smoothly into your workflow. Here are some of the key features available now:

- 📝 Effortless Note Management: Quickly browse and select your notes.

- 🖱 Mouse & Keyboard Friendly: Navigate your notes list easily using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts (including Ctrl+J/K for vertical scrolling!).

- ❓ Quick Help: Press Ctrl+? to see a handy overlay with all available shortcuts.

- 🔄 External Change Detection: Noty alerts you if a note file has been modified outside the app, so you don't lose changes.

- 🎨 Theme Support: Customize the look and feel (e.g., light/dark modes).

- ⚙️ Preferences: Configure Noty to your liking via the preferences dialog (Ctrl+,).

- 💾 Auto-Save: saving is handled smoothly upon closing/switching notes no need to manually save.

Still in early development, but give it a try and let me know what you think!

Simple and elegant.

Thanks Naty

Devtopia #003 is out.

This episode's guest is Fuad, a senior DevOps engineer. We had a conversation about Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, consensus algorithms and a whole lot more.

Today, I finally connected my Netlify-deployed portfolio with the domain I bought from Hahucloud a while ago. Setting up Git and CI/CD with cPanel was a pain, so I opted for Netlify's built-in CI/CD, which was much easier.

To make it work, I had to:
1. Enter the 4 nameservers provided by Netlify into Hahucloud's custom nameservers list.
2. Manually add the site's SSL certificate to Netlify to ensure a secure HTTPS connection.

But that's not all! I've been putting off automating image uploads for project showcases and blog posts in my personal website for a long time. Thanks to Cursor, I was able to vibe code 😁 a Python script using Claude with just 2 prompts, and it works like a charm! I chose Cloudinary because of their generous free tier.

I used [uv] to run the script. I love how you can run scripts with dependencies using a single command:

uv run --with python-frontmatter --with cloudinary --with python-dotenv scripts/upload_images.py

Now, I simply copy the images I want to upload to a gitignored folder called static, reference them in my Markdown files, and run the command above. It finds the images, uploads them to Cloudinary, and substitutes the new URLs, just like you saw in the above video!

Feels like 2010-2015 were in another lifetime

This is hilarious if you know the movie 😂

This is really cool

builve
my first dart CLI to build and move your built files to other folders,
simple but useful imo, specially if you are lazy just like me
its easy to use and you can read the readme for further.

check it and if you liked it give it a star 🌟
pr and issues are welcome too

building should be fun, mr. ai takes that out of the picture, but there are cases where you don't want to build, you just want to get it over with, that's where it shines !!

A Side Quest Adventure

I absolutely love side quests 😁; they fuel me with so much more energy than the main quest ever could. Let me tell you the story of how I ditched my main quest for this exciting detour.

Yesterday, disaster struck—my clipboard history just vanished. I was bummed, but thankfully, I had a backup. The catch? The backup wasn’t in the right format for the app I use to manage my clipboard history. That’s when my inner developer ፈንቅሎ ወጣና, and I did it በዘነዘና 😂. I decided to write a plugin for pop-launcher (a desktop launcher) that connects with Ringboard (a clipboard manager for Linux) using Go—a language I’ve been eager to learn for over a year. But then, I dove into the Ringboard client-sdk, which is written in Rust 🥱, and I couldn’t understand a thing. So, I turned to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Repomix (a tool that packs repo contents into a simple .txt file for AI to process) for a basic understanding of the code.

Here’s where things got tricky—how could I feed the entire repo to Gemini without burning through all my tokens? I didn’t want to upload the whole Ringboard repository; that would be overkill. I just needed the client-sdk folder. But I still faced a hurdle: how do I download just one specific folder from a Git repo? I looked into existing solutions and found [gitsnip]—except it wasn’t built yet 😁. I checked out other websites and tools, but nope, I decided to build my own solution from scratch.

And so, here we are. Introducing [gitsnip]—a CLI tool to download a specific folder from any Git repository. This side quest has taken me on a wild ride for a whole day

Check it out - [gitsnip]

For reference, here are the repos mentioned [Ringboard Clipboard Manager], [Pop!_OS Launcher], [Repomix]
