I built a tool to sync localStorage between devices

At my day job, we have a daily async stand-up. We have to message a slack bot how many hours we have worked on a given task that day and overall. The format is: > Task: "Task Name" | Worked: 5h Total: 16h > Description: Finished implementation of feature. I don't complain. Most fully remote jobs come with a version of this, but doing it manually got tedious. So, I needed a simple app that would track this. I am not usually a fan of "vibe coded" apps, but this was an ideal candidate for it, since it's not production code. Most LLMs solve the problem by creating a single HTML file with forms…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

At my day job, we have a daily async stand-up. We have to message a slack bot how many hours we have worked on a given task that day and overall. The format is: > Task: "Task Name" | Worked: 5h Total: 16h > Description: Finished implementation of feature. I don't complain. Most fully remote jobs come with a version of this, but doing it manually got tedious. So, I needed a simple app that would track this. I am not usually a fan of "vibe coded" apps, but this was an ideal candidate for it, since it's not production code. Most LLMs solve the problem by creating a single HTML file with forms that save data to localStorage. This was perfect for me - no hosting, no DB, no backend. Just 15 mins of prompting. One day I was outside, just with my phone, and of course I couldn't use the app. I thought "how hard can it be to synchronize localStorage data across devices?". Turns out, it's not that hard, if you are ready to build a whole platform around it. https://htmlsync.io does just that. You upload your HTML app that works with localStorage and get a subdomain for it. The tool automatically synchronizes your changes across devices. You can create private and public apps, can decide which keys to synchronize by using the "no_sync_" prefix. The "public-hidden" CSS class can be used to hide UI elements in public view. You also get a subdomain for your profile where all your apps are listed for easy access. I hope you find this as useful as I did. I'd also appreciate your feedback if you end up using it.

    Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

    Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
