GoodFirst : I built my friend a way into open source.

·2 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend My friend Shivin wanted to get into open source this October. He could code. What stopped him was everything around the code. He'd open a real project, see a long README and a hundred open issues, and the questions piled up before he wrote a single line: Which of these files actually matter? So I built him GoodFirst.

See Your LangGraph Agent Execute in Real Time

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend NOTE ON TIMING: LangGraphics isn't a weekend project. Its first commit is from January 2026. This year's rules ask for new projects built within the challenge window, so I'm not presenting this as a prize entry. I'm sharing it because the challenge asks the question this project was built to answer: who did you build it for? I built it for a group of people building an agent system on LangGraph.

Why your webhook signature check fails (and the bugs that pass it)

In July I wrote about why I built verihook: every provider signs webhooks differently, and I was tired of maintaining five slightly different HMAC functions.

Making My Platform API Reconcile Application Updates

In the previous post, I built the first real behavior for Platform Lab. A developer could create: apiVersion: platform.shubforge.dev/v1alpha1 kind: Application metadata: name: greeting-service spec: image: greeting-service:1.0.0 replicas: 1 port: containerPort: 8080 and the Platform Operator would create: Application | v Platform Operator | +------ Deployment | +------ Service That was the first point where the Application API actually resulted in real Kubernetes resources. But there was another important question. What happens when the Application changes? Creating resources once is useful, b

What each task in a plan is handed, and what it is not

A plan runs several coding-agent sessions, one after another or several at once. None of them shares memory with the others. Each one starts with an empty context window, so the only thing that carries knowledge forward is what the orchestrator decides to hand over. That decision is worth reading, because it is the difference between a task that continues the work and a task that rediscovers it. Disclosure: I build Ordewell, so what follows is how it does this rather than a survey.
