HearthLore: Preserving the Recipes, Voices, and Stories of Home This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend. HearthLore is an AI-powered family recipe and oral history preservation app built for the people in our lives whose best dishes exist only in memory, voice notes, and casual conversations rather than neat cookbooks. Think of that one relative who explains a dish with phrases like: "Bas thoda sa daalna hai... jab tak khushboo na aaye tab tak pakao." Everyone at the table knows exactly what that tastes like, but nobody actually has the measurements wri

I Tested 11 HTTP Resilience Libraries

When I started building ffetch, I had a fairly simple goal: make HTTP requests more resilient without turning a fetch wrapper into a complicated piece of machinery. Retries, backoffs, circuit breaking, and the other patterns could live around a small core, with plugins adding whatever a particular application needed. I liked the elegance of that design, and keeping the library lightweight was a big part of the appeal. The trouble started when I went back through the code looking for correctness issues. I found subtle bugs and edge cases, then more of them as I looked at what happens when you c

Receipt PDF Background Jobs: Signed Evidence for Attached Order Confirmations

The page says confirmation_without_receipt, and the on-call view is brutally small: an order identifier, a queue age, and a message stating that email delivery finished while its PDF attachment did not. The customer has a confirmation, support has a complaint, and a dashboard full of green averages cannot answer the first useful question: what page fired, and which durable fact proves the redacted receipt was the file actually sent?

Hive - A Local AI Life Assistant for My Family, Running on a Raspberry Pi

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend Hive is a private, multi-user AI life assistant that runs entirely on a Raspberry Pi 4B — no cloud, no subscriptions, no data leaving your home network. I built it for my family. We needed a shared space to manage our week: upcoming events, daily expenses, and a clear picture of what actually matters each day. Every existing tool either costs money every month, sends your data somewhere, or needs a good internet connection. Hive does none of those things — it lives on a Pi on the shelf and is accessible from any p

Panic2Pass An AI Cramming Tool I Built for a Panicking Friend

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend We've all been there, it's late at night, the exam is tomorrow, and there's way too much to study. I built Panic2Pass for my roommate, who had an Operating Systems exam coming up, 200+ pages of notes, and only a few hours left. He didn't need another chatbot. He needed to know what to study first. So I built a small AI tool with four modes: ⚡ 30-Min Crash Plan : Focus on the most important topics first.
