The article discusses the potential of AI to revolutionize user interface (UI) design, with AI systems generating dynamic and personalized UI elements tailored to individual user preferences and needs.

I built this because choosing colors is one of those tasks that seems simple but ends up taking hours. You keep randomizing and nothing feels right, or you browse inspiration boards hoping something works. So I made a tool where you describe what you need.

Type "warm Japanese autumn" or "90s rave flyer" and pick a style (analogous, triadic, monochromatic, etc.) and how many colors (3-7). It returns a named palette with descriptions. It works with images too: upload a photo and it extracts a palette. You can combine both, so uploading a photo and adding "make it cooler" works. It runs on GPT-5.2 with vision.

You can export palettes as CSS variables, SCSS, Tailwind config, or JSON. Copy individual colors in hex, RGB, HSL, or CMYK. There's a live preview that shows the palette applied to buttons, cards, and UI components so you can evaluate it before committing.

There's also a gallery with curated palettes you can browse, filter by style, and favorite. Each palette has its own shareable link.

There's also a set of free tools : - Color converter (paste a hex code, get every format) - Contrast checker (WCAG AA/AAA) - Color mixer - Gradient generator - Image color extractor - Manual palette builder

I'd love to hear your thoughts. What's missing? What would make this your go-to color palette tool?

Working on industrial job sites over the past couple of years, I keep running into the same pattern: enterprise-grade network infrastructure paired with a very basic captive portal experience.

You connect to the Wi-Fi and get the default splash page; simple username/password, limited visibility, no real integration points, and awkward session timeouts where unconfigured DNS revokes you from random websites without warning. In 2026, when you’re deploying IoT devices, commissioning controllers, or testing systems on-site, this is just pure friction.

Instead of focusing on automation, integration, and monitoring, I find myself writing these small PowerShell scripts just to handle authentication loops, keep sessions alive, or simulate form submissions for headless devices that don't have a browser to render the splash page anyway. It’s not complex engineering; it’s just unnecessary overhead.

There’s still a massive gap between powerful network infrastructure and developer-friendly access at the edge. For teams working in BAS (Building Automation Systems), industrial automation, or IoT-heavy environments, captive portals should be programmable and automation-friendly by default. Until that becomes a standard feature, we’re stuck scripting around it.

Have you ever experienced that captive portal nightmare for your IoT devices?

For the last couple of months I've been working with my wife on Uruky [1]. It's a EU-based and simpler Kagi [2] alternative (privacy-focused and ad-free search with domain boosting/exclusion rules).

We've been using it with friends and family with much success (and hashbangs like "!g", "!d", or "!e" work for any edge cases we haven't fixed/improved yet).

It's already using EU-based search providers with EU-based indexes like Mojeek and Marginalia. We're currently waiting for EUSP (the new Ecosia/Qwant-effort-related index) to provide us with an API key.

For the next 24h, new signups will have a free 24h trial (unlimited searches) — usually, because bots make things too hard and we don't want your personal data, there is no free trial period.

After that, if you're interested in trying it for a few days and are a human, reach out with your account number and I'll give you a couple of weeks for free.

You can see the main differences between Kagi and Uruky here [3], but one huge difference is that with Uruky, after being a paying customer for 12 months, you get a copy of the source code!

If you have any suggestions, comments, or recommendations, I'd love to hear it.

Thank you for your attention and kindness. I really appreciate it!

The newest version of 145.0.3800.58-1 of microsoft-edge-stable changes the repo to download further updates from to https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ At the moment this fails for my because I don't have Google's public key installed. But I doubt the URL is correct in the first place.

I guess Microsoft copies the maintainer scripts from Google's Chrome and forgot to patch the repo URL.

Yeah, I would not use any software from that supplier if my employer did not force me to...

I got tired of context-switching to write commit messages and PR descriptions, so I built gut – a CLI that uses AI to handle the boring parts of git workflows.

Examples: gut commit → generates commit message from staged diff gut pr → generates PR title and description gut review → AI code review of your changes gut find "login bug" → finds commits by vague description gut stash → stash with auto-generated name

It focuses only on git operations, so responses come back in seconds. BYOK (Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic). Keys stored in system keychain.

Customizable via .gut/ templates per project.

GitHub: https://github.com/user/gut npm: npm install -g gut-cli

I built Codex HUD to make Codex CLI sessions easier to monitor without leaving the terminal. It adds a real-time status line with:

  - active model
  - project + git branch/dirty state
  - 5h and 7d usage bars
  - automatic Spark vs default limit selection

  Quick install:

  git clone https://github.com/anhannin/codex-hud.git
  cd codex-hud/Codex-HUD
  ./install.sh

  Feedback I’m looking for:

  - portability across Linux distros/shell setups
  - readability on narrow terminal widths
  - edge cases in usage/rate parsing

  Repo issues are welcome if you hit bugs.
