Grom — Free, Open-Source AI Coding Assistant for VS Code (Ollama, LM Studio, Anthropic, and More) I've been building Grom, a free and open-source VS Code extension that brings agentic AI coding to your machine. No telemetry, no mandatory account, no subscription. If you use Ollama or LM Studio, nothing ever leaves your machine. Grom is a chat + agentic coding extension that lives in the VS Code
A 16-pixel hero in your macOS menu bar. Watches LLM traffic. That's it. You remember RunCat — the kitten in your menu bar that runs faster when your CPU is busy. Almost a decade old. Adorable. Useful. Asks nothing of you. AI-native development needs the same thing for a different signal. Not CPU. Agent traffic. Is there a live LLM request flowing right now, or is everything quiet? That's why I bui
I was reading about the Dreyfus affair and hit "syndicalism" — a word I'd skimmed past a dozen times. I knew the shape of it, not the substance. Opening a new tab meant losing the paragraph I was in, reorienting, reading something adjacent, and coming back with my thread broken. rabbitholes is a Chrome extension that solves the specific version of this problem: you want the context, but you don't
Decoupling Workloads: Strategies for Non-Blocking API Responses in Python Modern web applications demand instant feedback. Users expect immediate responses, and frustrating delays can quickly lead to abandonment. When an API endpoint performs computationally intensive or time-consuming operations directly within the request-response cycle, it creates a bottleneck that can cripple your backend sy

Lab Environment Component Description Attacker Machine Kali Linux Target Machine Metasploitable2 Network Type Host-only / NAT
No build today. Just fundamentals. And honestly? It humbled me in the best way. Every automation I've built so far has relied on no-code/low-code tools like n8n to handle the logic. But I kept hitting moments where I thought , if I knew Python, I could do this faster, cleaner, and with more control. So I decided to fix that. And then I hit Exception Handling and File Handling and that's where thi
How I automated value discovery in binary oil markets using Python, Yahoo Finance, and the Polymarket API Polymarket lets you trade on the probability of real‑world events. There are often inefficiencies—especially when fear or greed distorts prices. But manually checking dozens of contracts and calculating fair probabilities is tedious. Yesterday, I noticed a juicy set of markets: What price will
Hi everyone! I've been working on a personal project to create a desktop virtual assistant that doesn't rely on the cloud. I wanted something that felt like JARVIS but kept my data 100% private. Brain: It uses Ollama as the backend, so you can run models like Llama 3, Mistral, or Phi-3 locally. Interface: Built with PyQt6 featuring a "holographic" glassmorphism effect (transparent and sleek).
