A backend agnostic Ruby framework for building reactive desktop apps▲92
For a year or two I've been building a UI library with the aim of making desktop applications fun and easy to write. It is currently written in C/Ruby and uses a custom tree sitter grammar to describe templates. Features include: composable UI components, template directives, event and prop handling, slots, styles and automation capabilities baked in. One of the goals of the project is privileging easy to write custom components via a drawing API over providing a fixed set of components. At the time of this writing it should install on Windows, Mac, and Linux, but sometimes it is hard…

RubyLLM 1.0 – A Beautiful Ruby Way to Work with AI▲30
RubyLLM provides a unified interface to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and DeepSeek models with a clean, elegant API that feels like Ruby. What makes it different? Beautiful interfaces: chat = RubyLLM.chat embedding = RubyLLM.embed("Ruby is elegant") image = RubyLLM.paint("a sunset over mountains") Works with multiple providers through one API: # Start with GPT chat = RubyLLM.chat(model: 'gpt-4o-mini') # Switch to Claude? No problem chat.with_model('claude-3-5-sonnet') Streaming that makes sense: chat.ask "Write a story" do |chunk| print chunk.content # Same chunk format for all providers end…

What's in there: - 12 courses across 11 kingdoms (PHP basics to deployment) - 100+ interactive exercises with real-time code validation using AST analysis - AI companion (Pip the Owlox) that uses Socratic method – never…

I made an open-source project to ask questions to the Laravel docs▲6
After I posted about https://cosme.dev/ask-docs on Reddit I received some messages asking me how If I was going to make the code open source or if I could show them how I did it. So I decided to create this repo so you can take a look at the code and maybe apply the same techniques on your own apps. It's made using only PHP as language so I think is pretty different since most stuff out there is made using python or javascript. It uses the OpenAI API and Redis as a vector database.
