Developer releases open-source OSINT tool with 55 modules, no API keys required

·3 views

A web security enthusiast has published FlowOsint, a free open-source intelligence tool available on GitHub. The Python-based utility features a terminal menu interface that accepts a URL and automatically runs 55 reconnaissance modules. No API keys are required to operate any part of the tool, lowering the barrier for security researchers. All findings are stored in DuckDB, allowing users to query results using standard SQL. The project also includes JavaScript secret detection built with custom regex to reduce false positives.

Developer builds offline app using OpenSpec and AI agents, documents lessons learned

A developer named Shyamala built a fully offline application from scratch using OpenSpec combined with AI agents, documenting the process in a post published on DEV Community on August 2. The core approach involved keeping all architectural and design decisions recorded in specification files rather than relying on conversational AI chat history. This method allowed the developer to pause work, switch between different AI models, and maintain greater control over the project's direction. The experiment also surfaced notable limitations of the workflow, which Shyamala openly shared alongside the successes. The post highlights how spec-driven development can bring structure and continuity to AI-assisted software projects.

Why Claude Code's EnterPlanMode Uses an Empty Schema as a Deliberate Design Choice

EnterPlanMode is a built-in tool in Claude Code that shifts the AI from its default 'think while writing' workflow into a structured, read-only planning mode before any files are modified. Once activated, editing tools such as Edit, Write, and NotebookEdit are disabled, preventing Claude from making changes while it explores the codebase. The tool addresses a core alignment problem: ensuring the AI and user agree on an approach before implementation begins, rather than surfacing directional errors mid-refactor. Users receive a complete written plan they can approve, reject, or revise, creating a clear decision boundary instead of discovering mistakes only after reviewing a pull request. A practical example — refactoring an authentication module — illustrates how skipping this planning step can lead to cascading edits across multiple files before a critical misunderstanding is caught.

What Is Responsive Web Design and Why It Matters for Developers

Responsive web design is a development approach that allows a single website to automatically adapt its layout and content across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Instead of maintaining separate desktop and mobile sites, developers use one unified codebase that scales fluidly to any screen size. The technique relies on three core pillars: fluid grids using relative units like percentages, flexible images capped by CSS rules, and media queries that apply styles based on screen width breakpoints. This approach improves user experience by eliminating the need to pinch or zoom, and reduces costs by removing the overhead of managing multiple codebases.
