52 commands, 3 doors: the app, REST and MCP share one write path

My ticket tracker has three ways in: the web app, a REST API and an MCP server. Every write from all three goes through the same 52 commands, and the Firestore rules deny everything else. It costs 150 to 400 ms a write where a direct client write takes about 50 ms. I'm Panth, and I lead the software team at Oizom. The tracker is ticket-tracker, my open-source board where coding agents work tickets next to people.

Enhancing Software Development Efficiency: Secure Read-Only Access in GitHub Enterprise

Secure Read-Only Access for Scanners: A Blueprint for Enterprise GitHub In large organizations, the delicate balance between stringent security policies and the imperative for seamless cross-departmental collaboration often presents a unique set of challenges. A recent discussion within a state government department on GitHub perfectly encapsulates this dilemma: how to grant read-only access to an IT department for vital vulnerability scanning without violating internal rules requiring all GitHub accounts to be tied to a specific domain email. This isn't just about security; it's about maintai

CRM Automation That Does Not Break at Scale

TL;DR: Zapier is genuinely good for simple connections and genuinely wrong for business logic your revenue depends on. The dividing line is not volume, it is what happens when step four of seven fails at 2am. Build routing on Make or n8n, put a real enrichment layer in front of it, and design the failure path before the happy path. Most CRM automation stories go the same way. Someone builds it in Zapier over a weekend and it works.

Confluence Data Classification Without Guard

Sentinel Vault is a Confluence Cloud app that seals files and page sections, and version 6 gives every page a data classification level whether or not you pay for Atlassian Guard Premium. In January 2025 an admin called Adam asked the Atlassian Community a very reasonable question. He'd found Atlassian's article on setting a default classification level for a space, gone to his space settings, and the setting simply wasn't there. The answer he accepted: Confluence data classification requires an Atlassian Guard Premium subscription. Guard Premium was $8.18 per user per month when I checked Atl

Fetch Multilingual Daily Reflections in Node.js with aa-daily-reflections

Fetch Multilingual Daily Reflections in Node.js with aa-daily-reflections TL;DR If you need a small Node.js integration for dated Daily Reflections from Alcoholics Anonymous, the aa-daily-reflections package provides both a JavaScript API and the aa-daily command-line tool. This tutorial uses the published npm package to fetch a date in English, Spanish, or French, then adds input validation and a responsible failure path. The important boundary is that this package retrieves content from the public AA.org service. It is an unofficial client, not an archive or a license to republish the return

A reverse-proxy auth plugin is not application authorization

Quick check: call the same handler with a valid token for user A and a resource id belonging to user B. If the proxy plugin alone is what you relied on, that request often succeeds. Edge auth proves who showed up. Application authorization decides what they may touch. (Full disclosure, I work with Permit.io — useful when you want the PEP/PDP split spelled out beyond a proxy plugin.)

The IAB's own VAST sample tags pass XSD validation, and two of them still break the spec

If you build a video player, an ad server, or anything that touches VAST, the IAB Tech Lab VAST_Samples repo is probably where you got your test fixtures. I ran every file in it through two checks: xmllint against the official IAB XSD for each file's declared version. vastlint, an open-source linter with 235 rules taken from the XSDs and from the normative text of the spec (the RFC 2119 "must" and "required" sentences). The short version: 75 files, 4 with spec errors, 72 with at least one warning, and 2 files that pass the XSD while breaking the VAST 4.1 spec text. The full write-up, including

WordPress SEO Plugins Compared: Yoast to Local AI

WordPress SEO plugins add the metadata, sitemaps, schema, and AI layer above WordPress core, and in 2026 that layer includes plugins that run inference on your own hardware. The market is no longer a choice between Yoast and a few competitors. It now contains commercial SEO suites, lightweight open-source plugins, AI assistants that call hosted APIs, and newer plugins that talk to local models through Ollama, llama.cpp, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The answer to "which WordPress SEO plugin should I use" depends on what you need: a complete marketing suite, a quiet technical SEO layer, or

What is FNM ?

When working on web projects, we all know that Node.js is something we usually need to have installed. Most of the time, we simply go to the Node.js website, download the version we need, and install it. But things can get a little annoying when you are working on multiple projects. Different projects can require different Node.js versions. For example, one project might need Node 18, while another project might require Node 20 or 22.

AI Has Knowledge, Humans Have Context

TL;DR. More and more often, a text reaches its reader through two converters: the AI the author writes with, and the AI that summarizes it for the reader. In industrial instrumentation this design is called a measurement channel, and it has a well-known property: the errors of each link add up, so you have to check the whole channel, not just its parts. AI passes knowledge through this channel well. Context, it does not.

PointBlank: I Built a Brutal AI Coach to Fix My Friend's Communication Panic

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend I built PointBlank, an unforgiving, brutally honest AI speech coach designed in a strict Neo-Brutalist aesthetic. I built this for a close friend who is an incredibly talented developer but struggles with "rambling" during high-stakes technical interviews and executive design reviews. Whenever they get nervous, they stack qualifiers, use filler words ("um," "like"), and take forever to get to the core point. PointBlank solves this by enforcing the PREP Framework (Point, Reason, Example, Point) under a strict time

Miraiclip: an open-source engine for building video editors in the browser

I've been building Miraiclip, an open-source (MIT) engine for video editors that run in the browser. It isn't an editor app. It's the part underneath: project state, a microsecond timeline, undo/redo, a WebGL renderer and export. You build the UI in React, Vue, Svelte or plain JS. Here's a 90-second demo of an editor built on it: https://comaniacs.github.io/miraiclip/#demo import { createProject } from "@miraiclip/core"; const project = createProject({ width: 1920, height: 1080, fps: 30 }); project.dispatch({ type: "asset/add", payload: { id: "intro", kind: "video", src: "/intro.mp4", duration

Kling 4 Is Announced. What You Can Actually Run Today

I’m leony, an indie maker, and I’ve been tracking Kling’s video models because the version numbers move faster than the products that actually let you generate with them. Kling 4.0 has been announced, and there is also a 4.0 Flash early-access path on the official side. That does not mean every third-party page that says “Kling 4” can generate Kling 4 clips today. I put the distinction on one page so I would stop mixing the two up: the Soutine Kling 4 model page. The page is a coming-soon landing for Kling 4.0 on Soutine.
