It started life as DevBox, a drawer of generic dev converters, and I reprofiled the whole thing around one user, a CTF player, instead of bolting more tools onto a pile. The centerpiece is a chainable pipeline. Instead of one tool per page, you stack operations into a recipe and each step feeds the next: From Base64, then From Hex, then XOR. Underneath, every operation speaks one language, raw bytes, so a gzip blob survives the chain instead of getting mangled. And there’s a Magic button: paste a blob you don’t understand, and it tries a pile of decodes, scores each result on how much it looks like real data, and hands you the ranked chains to click into. Around that sit a Cipher Solver, an XOR brute-forcer, a File Inspector, a Hash Identifier, and the usual recon suspects (JWT, regex, diff, timestamp). What was challenging Writing by hand the things you’d normally just install. MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 from scratch, with all the 32-bit integer and padding fiddliness. A base58 codec that shipped with a sneaky all-zeros bug a test caught. The Magic detector was the hardest part conceptually: scoring “does this look like real data” using printable ratio, entropy, dictionary words, file magic bytes and flag markers, then recursing through candidate decodes without blowing up. Keeping the whole thing byte-accurate end to end so binary data never gets corrupted mid-pipeline took real care. What I’m proud of That it has a point of view now. It’s for someone, instead of being odds and ends. It runs with zero runtime dependencies, no UI library, no router, no crypto packages, just React, Vite and plain CSS, and it’s all backed by a real test suite (68 tests). I committed to the bet hard enough to delete the old generic tools, rebuild the look as a clean monochrome shell with hand-drawn line icons, and ship it as an installable, fully offline PWA. Nothing you paste ever leaves your machine, which for competition data actually matters. How to test it Open the Pipeline tool, paste SGVsbG8gMHhLaXQ=, click Magic, and watch it suggest From Base64 and decode to “Hello 0xKit”. Click the suggestion to load it. Try XOR Brute-Force: set format to hex, paste 2e2225236d3a3631386f6738273f, and the top candidate reveals flag{xor_me} with its key. Cipher Solver brute-forces all 26 Caesar shifts at once; the default text decodes at ROT23. Drop any PNG, PDF or ZIP into File Inspector to see magic-byte detection, a hex dump and extracted strings, all without uploading the file. Paste an MD5 into Hash Identifier to see it guess the algorithm from the digest’s shape. Hit Ctrl+K to jump between tools. Install it as an app and turn off your wifi: it still works.", "repo": "https://github.com/AndreiRazvanGhita/0xKit", "demo": "https://andreirazvanghita.github.io/0xKit/"}]...

Today I set up the initial structure for Equiplane, an industrial equipment maintenance workflow system I prepared the first part of the database schema for the project, including the base tables for users and companies. The goal is to build a system where clients can report equipment failures, admins can assign engineers, and engineers can manage repair tickets.
Honestly, it is my first time building a real website in PHP, and I realized I had completely forgotten most of my HTML and CSS. Today I successfully parsed the environment variables, securely connected the MariaDB database via PDO, and built a clean industrial dashboard layout using Tailwind CSS. EquipLane is finally coming to life.
After getting the database connected, I built the main dashboard U, also I dont have any idea for design after hard day so I asked AI about help…
Milestone: From Static UI to Secure Multi-User App What I did: Since the last update on the UI dashboard, I have completely transformed the project from a static frontend into a secure, functional multi-user system using native PHP and MariaDB. Authentication & Session Management: Built a backend login system from scratch. Implemented secure password hashing using bcrypt. Set up native PHP sessions to track users across pages.

Now the app actually feels like a secure industrial tool rather than just a Tailwind template.
Built the ticket creation page with role protection. Clients can now select their equipment, set priorities, and safely submit maintenance requests to the database via PDO prepared statements. The struggles: Broken the SQL query and html :>

These changes include: New lifecycle hook “onSetup”, intended for setting up databases, etc. I’ve mostly added this to split “start servers” and “setup things” all being in onStart. This way the separation between those 2 tasks is clear and helps to eliminate certain race conditions. Toggle switches are now generated automatically Before you had to manually declare a key in a config in onInstall, and then read it in isEnabled, which was just extra boilerplate. So I automated the process in the Service class. “?”, “:after” and “:after?” parameters for dependencies Before this, the boot order was still fragile even with dependencies defined, because the ability to define a dependency, and make it start only AFTER your dependency is initialized wasn’t a thing. Now you can do this by simply appending “:after” to the dependency name. “?” at the end also makes the dependency optional. Few fixes relating to dependency resolution and boot orders HTTP API Got a decently big update as well.. The performance is now up ~70% from previous versions, finally surpassing FastAPI, I’ve achieved this adding an option to disable unnecessary messages from being logged. Which only goes to show how heavy the logging manager I use is, but I doubt I’ll be rewriting it, since the way it is now helps with DX. Response validation using “@HTTP.Responses(…)” and ReplyModels: Before you were able to only validate what’s coming in, but not what’s going out. The validator has a strict mode, which when enabled adds an extra layer of “security”. If strict mode is disabled, the responses are only used for OpenAPI docs generation. Tho the framework may still complain if you’re sending invalid responses. Nested object validation and Require.ListOf Static methods in Reply Since the framework is built on Starlette, you may need to use Starlette’s responses in some cases. OpenAPI Docs generation This was kinda a big thing on my list ever since I realized that I can automatically generate SDKs instead of having to write request calls manually. I also wanted to add a way to expose the docs with an endpoint, but I’m holding off on that. The Package registry & manager were introduced as well. The package registry it itself built on Nautica, and works with the package manager integrated into the Nautica’s CLI. Likewise I’ve started work on the Landing page & docs website for the framework, but I’m putting it off for a bit, because of finals. I’ve also fixed countless bugs, refactored things, and over all made many QoL changes, which helped to make the framework feel more polished. This might be a strange project, since I’m somewhat “reinventing the wheel”, but I really didn’t like the way FastAPI, Flask and other Python HTTP frameworks work. It basically handles ONLY the http part, which is fine, but in bigger projects YOU have to manage everything else around it. When I was building small apps it wasn’t that big of an issue, but it became pretty apparent in bigger projects. The complexity and boilerplate that comes with large projects isn’t something I can handle well, while also having to enforce my own conventions. I made Nautica to fix these issues, and I’d say I succeeded. The boilerplate that’s needed per route is minimal, compared to other frameworks; The package manager adds an intuitive way to add plugins (services, packages), and the service system itself does a lot of the heavy lifting for you, by automatically deciding on the boot order instead of you having to write do it explicitly using imports, etc. In conclusion, Nautica takes away some freedom and in exchange gives you structure, less boilerplate and tools to debug your code, which makes shipping apps easier and faster.", "repo": "https://github.com/xellu/nautica-api", "demo": "https://napm.xellu.xyz/"}]...

Hello y’all. I’m making a framework for backend development, called Nautica. I’m also bundling a package manager, similar to npm/PyPI, to allow people to share their plugins.

I’ve started work on a web for the framework. For now I only managed to set up the project and make the hero on the landing page, for which I took inspiration from payloadcms and rig.ai The landing page itself was hard to make, since I had to figure out how to structure the grid, and even now it’s not up to my standards.
Spent almost 5 hours on a navbar, finally figured it out though. The open/close logic on hovering was a nightmare to do. In the end i settled for IDs and an event listener for mouseover . It’s probably one of the worse solutions, but I’m not gonna touch it since it works finally. I also changed the background to something that fits better.

I’ve released v3.2.2, the new things there include: OpenAPI Docs generator Changed expression for nested requirements from nested(...) to {...} Request schemas in errors can be hidden now Added descriptions for commands in help Renamed Reply.IsList() into .asList() Added import aliases for Requirement s in napi These are mostly QoL changes, I made formatting of certain things so it’d be easier to read, use, or to make sense linguistically. I also made it a little bit more secure by giving other developers an option to hide their request schemas in error messages. I’ve also included the new benchmark numbers in the README. OpenAPI Docs generator mostly works now, but it doesn’t expose the docs to /nautica:docs yet, I’m also considering making the endpoint the developer’s concern, and not the framework’s. Surprisingly it wasn’t as hard as i expected it to be, but some weird edge cases were definitely annoying to deal with. Anyways, alongside the updates to the framework itself, I’ve also now documented the new changes made since version 3.0.2 , so they’re now up to date with the latest release (that being 3.2.2). I know it took a while but i was more focused on releasing fixes and updates first. https://github.com/xellu/nautica-api/wiki https://github.com/xellu/nautica-api/compare/3.2.0...3.2.2
A showcase of what Nautica can actually do ~20% faster than FastAPI ( https://github.com/xellu/nautica-api/wiki/Performance-Benchmark ) See Nautica in action: https://napm.xellu.xyz/ ( https://github.com/xellu/nautica-package-manager ) A video demonstration:
Ships:
I’ve updated the Service Manager, including the dependency resolver. These changes include: New lifecycle hook “onSetup”, intended for setting up databases, etc. I’ve mostly added this to split “start servers” and “setup things” all being in onStart. This way the separation between those 2 tasks is clear and helps to eliminate certain race conditions. Toggle switches are now generated automatically Before you had to manually declare a key in a config in onInstall, and then read it in isEnabled, which was just extra boilerplate. So I automated the process in the Service class. “?”, “:after” and “:after?” parameters for dependencies Before this, the boot order was still fragile even with dependencies defined, because the ability to define a dependency, and make it start only AFTER your dependency is initialized wasn’t a thing. Now you can do this by simply appending “:after” to the dependency name. “?” at the end also makes the dependency optional. Few fixes relating to dependency resolution and boot orders HTTP API Got a decently big update as well.. The performance is now up ~70% from previous versions, finally surpassing FastAPI, I’ve achieved this adding an option to disable unnecessary messages from being logged. Which only goes to show how heavy the logging manager I use is, but I doubt I’ll be rewriting it, since the way it is now helps with DX. Response validation using “@HTTP.Responses(…)” and ReplyModels: Before you were able to only validate what’s coming in, but not what’s going out. The validator has a strict mode, which when enabled adds an extra layer of “security”. If strict mode is disabled, the responses are only used for OpenAPI docs generation. Tho the framework may still complain if you’re sending invalid responses. Nested object validation and Require.ListOf Static methods in Reply Since the framework is built on Starlette, you may need to use Starlette’s responses in some cases. OpenAPI Docs generation This was kinda a big thing on my list ever since I realized that I can automatically generate SDKs instead of having to write request calls manually. I also wanted to add a way to expose the docs with an endpoint, but I’m holding off on that. The Package registry & manager were introduced as well. The package registry it itself built on Nautica, and works with the package manager integrated into the Nautica’s CLI. Likewise I’ve started work on the Landing page & docs website for the framework, but I’m putting it off for a bit, because of finals. I’ve also fixed countless bugs, refactored things, and over all made many QoL changes, which helped to make the framework feel more polished. This might be a strange project, since I’m somewhat “reinventing the wheel”, but I really didn’t like the way FastAPI, Flask and other Python HTTP frameworks work. It basically handles ONLY the http part, which is fine, but in bigger projects YOU have to manage everything else around it. When I was building small apps it wasn’t that big of an issue, but it became pretty apparent in bigger projects. The complexity and boilerplate that comes with large projects isn’t something I can handle well, while also having to enforce my own conventions. I made Nautica to fix these issues, and I’d say I succeeded. The boilerplate that’s needed per route is minimal, compared to other frameworks; The package manager adds an intuitive way to add plugins (services, packages), and the service system itself does a lot of the heavy lifting for you, by automatically deciding on the boot order instead of you having to write do it explicitly using imports, etc. In conclusion, Nautica takes away some freedom and in exchange gives you structure, less boilerplate and tools to debug your code, which makes shipping apps easier and faster....

It stages them in a local queue.json file so you can safely review and approve the purge via winsentry –purge. Centralized Config: Everything is fully customizable via %APPDATA%/WinSentry/config.toml.

The Guardrail: Instead of deleting anything, the tool calculates the total directory size and flushes the data to a local state file inside %APPDATA%/WinSentry/queue.json. The Interactive Review: The user is notified via the terminal that bloat has been discovered. Running winsentry –purge loads the JSON queue and gives the user an interactive, explicit review prompt to check boxes or type all to confirm deletion. Absolute control, zero risk of accidental data loss. Production Performance Benchmarks Since this tool was built to fight Windows sluggishness, it could not afford to be heavy. Running a fast compiled systems language like Rust paid off massively. Here are the real-world metrics monitored via Windows Task Manager: Idle Footprint: 0% CPU and 0.9MB of RAM. It sits completely dormant in the background, listening for the global hotkey message loop and waiting for the 30-minute system interval. Peak Scan & Discovery Footprint: Maximum 10% CPU usage and a peak of 5MB of RAM while actively traversing thousands of subdirectories and calculating file sizes during a deep disk scan. On an NVMe and DDR5 setup, the scan completes in seconds, meaning the system never hitches and the user never has to wait for the utility. READY TO SHIP!
Ships:
Shipped: WinSentry v1.0 (Rust) Windows loves to treat power users like guests on their own hardware. Despite running an i7-12700K and 32GB of DDR5, I was sick of locked UI threads, disappearing taskbar icons, and silent disk-space bloating. So, I spent the last few hours building WinSentry—a lightweight, native Windows daemon built in Rust to force the OS to be clean, stable, and responsive. What it does: The 300ms UI Panic Button: A low-level global keyboard hook (Ctrl + Alt + W) that forcefully kills explorer.exe, deletes the corrupted IconCache.db file while the thread is dead, and instantly spawns a fresh shell instance. Frozen taskbars fixed instantly. Automated System Debloater: A highly optimized background runner that wakes up every 30 minutes to sweep system-generated trash paths (%TEMP%, crash dumps) without locking active files. Safe Developer Staging Queue: An on-demand CLI engine (winsentry –scan) that recursively walks user-specified workspace paths to look for massive black holes like node_modules and pycache . It stages them in a local queue.json file so you can safely review and approve the purge via winsentry –purge. Centralized Config: Everything is fully customizable via %APPDATA%/WinSentry/config.toml. Performance Profiles (Zero Bloat): Because this was built in Rust to combat OS sluggishness, it has a completely invisible footprint: Idle: 0% CPU | 2.4MB RAM (Sits quietly listening for the hotkey message loop). Peak Scan/Discovery Phase: Max 10% CPU | 5MB RAM (Even while recursively scanning thousands of developer subdirectories). Built with embedded UAC manifest integration so it automatically handles the administrative privileges required to clean up system directories right out of the box. Time to stop waiting for the OS....

DEVLOG #1 — The Beginning of DevSpace DevSpace started with one simple idea , developers should not need 5 different apps just to work together. Right now people code on VS Code, communicate on Discord or Zoom, push on GitHub, and switch tabs constantly. We wanted to build a standalone software where everything exists in one place. A space where developers can code together in real time, join voice/video rooms instantly, use AI tools, collaborate on projects, and even chill with the community.

The biggest focus right now is creating a smooth coding experience while keeping communication features lightweight and fast. Inspired by modern devlog styles that showcase progress and vision step-by-step . •Current Focus ->Real-time collaboration ->Built-in communication ->AI developer tools ->Desktop software architecture ->Developer community experience
DEVLOG #2 Building the Collaboration System Today we focused on one of the biggest parts of DevSpace — real-time collaboration. The vision is simple: Developers should be able to join a workspace and instantly code, communicate, and collaborate without opening external apps. ->We started improving: Real-time syncing Shared workspace structure Voice room concepts Team collaboration flow Faster UI responsiveness One interesting idea we are exploring is workspace rooms similar to communication platforms, where developers can create project-based environments and collaborate live. Another focus is reducing distractions. Instead of switching tabs between coding and meetings, DevSpace keeps everything inside one ecosystem. Current Enhancements: Improved project workspace UI Better file syncing research Team room structure planning AI assistant workflow concepts Optimized desktop performance The goal is still the same: Make developers enjoy collaboration again.
DEVLOG #3 The Future Starts Looking Real DevSpace is slowly turning from an idea into an actual platform. Today we worked on expanding the roadmap and planning features that make DevSpace feel more alive than a traditional IDE. Instead of just coding software, we want developers to feel like they are entering a digital workspace built for creativity, teamwork, and community. ->New roadmap ideas: AI-powered debugging assistant Shared live terminals Custom developer profiles Workspace themes & environments Community chill rooms One-click team setup system Smart notifications for teams We are also exploring smoother communication systems so developers can instantly jump into voice/video discussions while staying inside the coding environment. Biggest challenge: Balancing powerful features while keeping the software lightweight and fast....
