GitHub Adds Option to Count Draft Pull Requests Toward Repository PR Limits

·1 views

GitHub has introduced an optional setting letting maintainers count draft pull requests toward their repository's pull request limits. The change responds to a loophole where contributors opened many drafts to get around limits introduced in June 2026. Drafts were found to trigger notifications, consume CI/CD resources, and add to review backlogs even though they were not ready for review. The setting is found under Repository settings, then Moderation, then Interaction Limits, and is off by default so projects that rely on drafts can keep their current workflow. Early adopters also noted that GitHub's official documentation lagged behind the feature, still stating that drafts do not count toward limits.

LazyFlow AI: Open-Source Web App Aims to Cut Time Spent on Summaries and To-Do Lists

A developer has built LazyFlow AI, a lightweight web application that condenses long text into short summaries and task lists to reduce manual effort. The app offers a demo mode that runs without an API key, using simple heuristics, and an optional local mode that connects to Ollama so users can run open-weight AI models on their own machines. The creator says the approach avoids paid API subscriptions and gives users more privacy and flexibility. The project was submitted to the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge and was built with an AI-assisted development workflow.

Adding JSON-LD structured data to a small business site to improve local search

A Pompano Beach web developer describes adding JSON-LD structured data to the Dream Futures Tech website to help search engines understand the business. The author recommends three blocks: an Organization block with name, address, phone, and logo; a WebSite block with an optional search action; and BreadcrumbList markup on interior pages. Blog posts were also given BlogPosting markup so headlines, authors, and dates can appear in rich results. After rolling out the snippets over a weekend, the author reports that Google began displaying a Local Business card and breadcrumb trails within a few weeks, with the site's appearance unchanged. The article advises validating each change with Google's Rich Results Test.

Nine Practical 3D-Printable Designs That Each Finish in Under Three Hours

The author shares nine parametrically modelled 3D-printable functional items, including cable clips, desk headphone hooks, a Raspberry Pi wall mount, and battery and bit holders. Each design is reported to print in a few hours or less and to use under 250 g of filament for the full set, typically in PLA or PETG at 0.2 mm layers. The write-up gives practical guidance on clearances of 0.4-0.6 mm for held parts, shallow countersinks to avoid supports, and print orientation so layer lines bear load correctly. The designs are sold on the author's Cults3D page for $0.99 to $1.42, and the author also promotes a separate paper planner store.
