As author Peter Sams describes in his book Little bets, Little bets are low-risk action taken to discover, develop, and test an idea.

Discontinued duckduckgo-ai-chat – duckduckgo-ai-chat is now a publicly accessible archive. I have since decided to discontinue its development, largely due to the extensive DuckDuckGo API Reverse Engineering requirements involved. Furthermore, with numerous AI terminal apps now available that offer similar functionality, it felt like a good opportunity to let this project go. Initially, I began working on DuckDuckGo-ai-chat […]

Winzy Intro – Second try – What is Winzy, and why was it created? We all have multiple scripts in our work or home system, and managing them can be chaotic. I had hundreds of python scripts, but I’d often forget about them or how to use them. To solve this, I utilized Python’s pluggy framework to create Winzy. What is […]
Winzy Pdf to Text – winzy-pdf-to-text: Last week I wrote a new winzy plugin that helps me extract text from PDFs. This is now one of the most-used plugins at home.
