A developer has released FinderBack, a small open-source utility for macOS that adds Back and Forward navigation options to Finder's right-click context menu. The tool was created to eliminate the repetitive need to move the cursor up to the toolbar for basic navigation. Users can right-click anywhere within Finder to access the navigation commands directly. FinderBack is available both as source code on GitHub and as a ready-to-install build via the project's website.
A developer has released Attic, an open-source knowledge persistence tool designed for AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex CLI. The tool addresses a recurring inefficiency where AI agents repeat the same investigative steps across separate sessions because prior discoveries are lost when a session ends. Attic works by writing findings to a file and maintaining a small index, allowing assistants to retrieve relevant knowledge without reloading entire histories into context. The project, available on GitHub, has also added browser-based saving so users can capture insights outside their coding environment. The goal is to preserve not just bug fixes but the reasoning behind them, including architectural decisions, failed approaches, and undocumented code behaviour.
AODM (AI Optimized Data Markup) is a newly released open vocabulary designed to represent knowledge on the web, including entities, relationships, facts, and rules. It is built to be readable and usable by both humans and AI systems for validation and data exchange. The project, licensed under Apache 2.0, includes XML and JSON schemas, an HTML embedding profile, reference parsers in Python, JavaScript, Java, and C#, a graph compiler, inference engine, and an XBRL converter. A conformance suite ensures consistency by requiring all four parsers to produce identical results. The repository is publicly available on GitHub, and a browser-based validator requires no installation.
DEV Community has announced a short delay in revealing the winners of its Big Summer Bug Smash event, which was powered by Sentry. Organizers cited the need for more thorough review of all submitted fixes and optimizations as the reason for the postponement. The competition drew entries across five categories, with a total of 23 winners to be recognized. The official winner announcement has been rescheduled for September 24. Participants were thanked for their patience and the effort put into their submissions.
