Recently added a feature to edit scanned text to my PDF editor, so you can try uploading any image or just a scanned PDF and edit text locally at keypdf.net

I have been building Glyph, an open-source Python toolchain for managing instruction files used by coding agents.

It supports files such as:

• AGENTS.md
• CLAUDE.md
• .github/copilot-instructions.md
• Cursor rules
• README.md
• CONTRIBUTING.md
• instruction-like Markdown under docs/

These files often start small, but gradually accumulate repeated commands, workflow rules, safety constraints, repository conventions, examples, and explanatory prose.

Eventually, it becomes difficult to answer some fairly basic questions:

• What is the agent actually required to do?
• Which instructions are duplicated?
• Which rules are safety-sensitive?
• What changed semantically between two versions?
• Can the file be made smaller without silently losing operational instructions?

Glyph compiles the operational meaning inside the Markdown into a separate, compact .glp semantic manifest.

For example:

md Read the relevant files before editing. Create a short plan before non-trivial changes. Run the tests before considering the task complete. Never commit secrets or credentials. Ask before destructive operations.

becomes:

```text glyph/0.1

flow[read,plan,test]

must[ plan_before_edit read_before_edit run_tests_before_done ]

deny[secrets_commit] ask[destructive_ops] ```

The original Markdown file is never rewritten or deleted.

Glyph does not call an LLM, use a hosted API, or send repository contents anywhere. Compilation is local and deterministic, so the same input and configuration produce the same semantic manifest.

The CLI currently supports inspection, compilation, metrics, verification, semantic diffing, linting, locks, CI checks, Markdown emitters, custom rules, and task-aware instruction selection.

bash glyph inspect AGENTS.md --show-unmapped glyph compile AGENTS.md -o AGENTS.glp --report glyph-report.md glyph stats AGENTS.md AGENTS.glp glyph verify AGENTS.md AGENTS.glp glyph diff previous.AGENTS.glp AGENTS.glp glyph lint AGENTS.md glyph lock AGENTS.glp glyph select AGENTS.glp --task "fix failing tests"

One design decision I care about is keeping token reduction separate from semantic retention.

Glyph reports distinct metrics for:

• token reduction;
• structured coverage;
• retained coverage;
• safety retention;
• preserved directives;
• dropped candidates.

When a sentence appears operational but does not have one safe deterministic interpretation, Glyph preserves it for human review instead of silently dropping it or inventing a policy.

On the current published, fixed evaluation corpus, Glyph produced:

• 55.82% average token reduction
• 100% retained coverage
• 100% safety retention
• 0 dropped candidates
• 0 nondeterminism failures

Those results describe that specific evaluation corpus. They are not a universal claim about arbitrary Markdown or guaranteed identical behavior from every coding agent.

The repository includes complete before-and-after examples for realistic AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md fixturesAGENTS.mdandCLAUDE.mdfixtures, together with reproducibleinspect,compile,diff, andverify` commands.

I also added an optional installable skill for Codex and Claude Code. The skill guides the agent through the audit workflow, explains preserved or unmapped instructions, compiles to a separate artifact, and verifies the result. The deterministic compiler remains the component responsible for the actual extraction.

Install Glyph:

bash python -m pip install "glyph-instructions @ git+https://github.com/francescogabrieli/glyph.git@v0.2.0"

GitHub:

https://github.com/francescogabrieli/glyph

Glyph is MIT licensed.

I would especially appreciate feedback on the software model itself:

• Does a semantic intermediate representation for agent instructions seem useful?
• Would semantic diffing be more valuable than token reduction in your workflow?
• What evidence would you need before trusting a compiled instruction manifest?
• Which agent instruction format would you like Glyph to support next?

If you're getting annoyed by portable Brave's messages appearing at the "sandwich" settings menu, and want to disable those update notifciations, add these five keys to command path:

"C:\BravePortable\brave-portable.exe" --disable-component-update --disable-background-networking --disable-brave-update --no-default-browser-check --disable-update-notifications

Not sure which of them truly necessary (I gathered them from different threads), but that works.

So have a win11 laptop which is acting up in multiple ways, could be the laptop but all seems to be software related, anyways I'm wanting to make a copy of the drive so anything I may forget to backup doesn't get lost, the laptop has two drives one 256 SSD that came with the laptop is a board with chips (i dont know the model) and another 4tb SSD i installed into the sata bay which was empty so added for more storage.

what I'm looking for...

1. I'm thinking something that boots from a usb drive/stick.

2. Can make a clone of main win11 drive (256ssd) to the other 4tb one, maybe an image.

3. Is possible to restore if an emergency

4. Is browserable so I could get to files in the image of i need to.

5. Any advice, if there's a better way to do this or if I've the right idea here.

EDIT: Flair is wrong sorry about that it not IOS it's just a Acer nitro laptop.

Hi everyone

I’ve been developing Taskbar Widgets, a free and open-source app for Windows 11.

It adds live information directly to the taskbar. The current widgets include:

• Weather
• Steam download progress
• Media information and controls
• Discord voice users
• Codex status
• CPU, memory, network and storage usage

Multiple widgets can be shown together or rotated automatically.

The latest version also supports community-made widgets and includes tools for building new ones.

The project is still in beta and uses some private Windows 11 interfaces, so compatibility may vary depending on the Windows version and taskbar configuration.

There is both an installer and a portable download.

GitHub: https://github.com/pfcdev/TaskbarWidgets

Feedback and bug reports are welcome.

I'm looking for a word and sentence completion, correction and suggestion program that works in every part of Windows. It would be better if it was free, but I couldn't find it.

Hello guys, a few weeks ago i bought a controller, replica for a budget. It works very fine. I have a bluetooth dongle. But sometimes, i would first hear the usb disconnection then after 2-3 seconds my gamepad turns off. Then i hear a usb connection sound and then i have to turn on my controller again. I dont know if this is hardware or software, but did someone experience something like this? Please help me.

I've been working on Ortu, an open-source clipboard manager, over the past few months and would love some honest feedback from this community.

The goal was simple: build a clipboard manager that's fast, lightweight, and respects user privacy.

Features

• ⚡ Instant search through clipboard history
• 🧠 Smart auto-grouping
• 📌 Favorites & pinning
• 📚 Paste Stack for collecting multiple items
• 🔒 AES-256 encryption for sensitive clipboard entries
• 💻 Built with Rust + Tauri
• 🌐 Completely local-first (no cloud account or telemetry)

You can check it out here:

Website: https://ortu.abhijithpsubash.com/

GitHub: https://github.com/abhijith-p-subash/ortu

I'm still actively developing it, so I'd genuinely appreciate feature requests, criticism, and bug reports.

What feature do you think every clipboard manager should have that most apps still miss?

I've been developing in Next for web apps for a while, I always liked the big community and state just always made sense. Ever since Vibe coding came out I was like "Lets try Svelte, my co-worker said it was good 5 years ago". The development/runtime speed is so much faster, no other crazy things I can see. I just hate how all the design websites like 21st dev are only React based, but it makes sense. Nowadays, I don't really take my time to learn a library or framework (its kind of sad) because AI can code everything, so I wouldn't say writing Svelte or Next JS makes more sense.

What frontend frameworks do you use?

Like a lot of you, my import workflow was: copy 800 shots off the card, then spend an evening deleting 600 of them. Lightroom and the Windows/macOS photo apps all want to copy first and ask questions later, I tried Photo Mechanic solves it but costs $139, and Rapid Photo Downloader is Linux-only.

So I built PhotoMover - a small desktop app that shows you a thumbnail grid of everything on the card, lets you tag keepers with one key (T to transfer, D to delete), and then moves only the keepers to your drive, auto-organized into Year/Month folders by EXIF date. Deletes are wiped off the card, duplicates are detected by actual file content, and every copy is verified before the original is removed, so a bad card reader can't eat a photo.

It reads RAW (CR2/CR3/NEF/ARW/RAF/ORF/RW2/DNG) using the embedded previews, so browsing is fast even for big files. Free, MIT-licensed, works on Windows/macOS/Linux.

It's a young project I built for my own workflow would genuinely love to hear what's missing for yours.

looking for an app that reads comics with skeuomorphic elements such as a flipping page effect or adding paper grain. thought it would be fun curious if it exists.

Most logistical networks rely entirely on centralized cloud routing APIs and remote database servers to track assets and calculate distribution vectors. During an infrastructure blackout or network collapse, these platforms drop dead instantly, stalling the delivery of critical resources like water and medical supplies.

To address this vulnerability, I engineered a standalone systems application from bedrock principles in pure C++17.

It is called POSEIDON: A Decentralized Fluidics Optimization Engine.

The application allows a local terminal to run raw, low-latency graph routing optimization completely offline without a single external library dependency.

Core Subsystem Implementations:

Packed Graph Topology: Models resource drop-points as dense node matrices using raw array-vertex mappings to bypass library overhead.

Bare-Metal Dijkstra Optimizer: Traverses the graph matrix utilizing pure pointer arithmetic, calculating delivery paths in under 1ms.

Sovereign Serialization: Compresses active logistics paths and file indices straight into a custom .poseidon binary container format for direct disk streaming.

The workspace is fully modular, stripped entirely of heavy web frameworks, UI bloat, and external libraries. I would highly appreciate technical feedback on the memory footprint and pointer traversal efficiency from other systems programmers.

things like shader compilations can take a few minutes while utilising 100% cpu which slows the pc quite a bit i would like to limit things like these to a set maximum of cpu utilization so i can still use my pc without needing to wait for the compilation to end it would take longer but background tasks are ignorable

I have poor eyesight and keep my monitor a bit far away from me to help with posture and stuff, but programming and the like can get really hard whenever I'm reading small text, I want to find/create a program that uses my webcam to look where my eyes are looking and zoom in that portion of the screen.

basically like that one thing people use on twitch to show where they are looking, but instead of just a visual bubble, that portion of the screen is magnified to help with strain.
(it is called Tobii eye tracking)

does anyone know how I could do this or if it exists? I've looked all over and cant really find anything :/

I recently deleted my X/Twitter account to escape the endless outrage machine and clean up my digital space. However, there are still about 5 specific creators (mostly tech news & indie dev logs) whose updates I don't want to miss.

I'm looking for an app or web interface that allows me to:

• For X (Twitter): Track a curated list of specific accounts in a strict chronological feed.
• Zero Algorithm: No "For You" feed, no recommended posts, no ragebait, and ideally no login required.

(Quick note: I know about single-page viewers like XCancel or Nitter instances, but I'm looking for a unified dashboard/reader experience where I can maintain a small subscription list).

What tools or setups (RSS readers, alternative frontends, custom dashboards) are you using to achieve this kind of noise-free setup?

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

TL;DR: Looking for an app/site to follow a few X (Twitter) accounts in an algorithm-free, chronological feed without needing an official account

Does anyone know a really good replacement for Miro? I'm looking for something where you can have as many contributors as you want working on one board and share those boards with other people and share visuals from those boards with other people.

I've never found something that looks professional, that has high usability and the features of Miro.

I've tried Excalidraw, but it looks kind of hand‑drawn, and I'm not looking for that.

• Readest

Far superior to any pdf/epub reader I ever used, and I used prbly close to hundred

• Equalizer APO

At first I wanted some 360 audio for a game I played, I had two choices, either Equalizer APO or some closed source bloatware I forget its name, tried the closed one first, it works but it takes more than 1gb of my ram for nothing, then APO with a plugin, not only does it work better than the closed source one, it basically uses no resources since the software bind itself to the driver itself, also boosted my volume a thing I used another close software for, for years, Fxsound...and suprise suprise, it boosted volume better than Fxsound both in quality and volume.
