File Librarian App Helps Teams Agree on and Enforce File-Naming Conventions

·1 views

A solo developer has built File Librarian, a progressive web app designed to help teams create and stick to consistent file-naming and folder-structure conventions. The tool lets users select an industry-specific template, fill in relevant fields, and automatically generates standardized filenames and folder paths based on customizable rules. A standout feature called Naming Workshop provides a facilitated mode for teams to hold a focused 20-minute meeting and agree on a shared convention in real time. Agreed-upon conventions can also be exported as a markdown guide for use in AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude, ensuring those tools follow the team's actual rules. Built with React 19 and Vite, the app stores all customization data locally in the browser, with a free general-purpose edition available and ten industry-specific editions offered in total.

OpenPledge Uses Blockchain and AI to Make Charity Donations Fully Transparent

A developer has built OpenPledge, an open-source donation platform designed to give donors complete visibility into where their money goes. Every contribution is recorded on the Solana blockchain, creating a permanent, publicly verifiable transaction record that cannot be altered. Google Gemini generates a personalised thank-you message for each donor, which ElevenLabs then converts into spoken audio, while Snowflake powers a public Impact Dashboard showing aggregate giving trends. The platform requires no login and features a public ledger linking every donation directly to its on-chain record. OpenPledge was submitted as part of a weekend developer challenge and is currently live at open-pledge.vercel.app, with full source code available on GitHub.

WebForms Core 2.1 Introduces WPC Criteria as an Advanced Alternative to CSS Selectors

WebForms Core 2.1 has expanded its built-in domain-specific language, WebForms Place Criteria (WPC), which allows developers to select, filter, and manipulate HTML and DOM elements. Unlike standard CSS selectors, WPC Criteria enables filtering of already-selected elements based on text content, attributes, visibility, state, position, and DOM relationships. Developers can chain multiple conditions and apply operators to build complex selections that go beyond simple ID, class, or tag-based queries. WPC also supports text searches and attribute-value matching, such as finding elements whose attribute values end with a specific string. The feature is exclusive to the WebForms Core framework and is not available as a standalone or external tool.

Developer Wraps Pay-Per-Call APIs in MCP Server, Joins Official Registry for Free

A developer who had failed to earn revenue from REST-based pay-per-call APIs repackaged them as tools inside a single MCP server using the streamable-HTTP transport. The server uses the x402 protocol to charge USDC micropayments only when an agent actually invokes a tool, while keeping discovery methods like tools/list and initialize free. Three tools are offered — a QR code generator, an image processor, and an LLM-backed text analyser — priced between $0.01 and $0.02 per call. The server was listed on the official MCP Registry without a GitHub account by using HTTP-based Ed25519 key authentication tied to a free sslip.io hostname on a $4 VPS. The developer concludes that packaging APIs as MCP tools, rather than REST endpoints, is critical for reaching AI agents as customers.
