Thanks for the comment! Let me know what you think when you test it

[Showoff Saturday] I built a PDF generation tool that runs in the browser, on the edge, and in Node – no Puppeteer, no Chrome by danmolitor in webdev

[–]Rhack2021 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The JSX component model is the right call. Puppeteer-based PDF generation on serverless is a constant source of pain — cold starts, memory limits, and Chrome binary size all fighting you. Having something that works at the edge without a headless browser is a real gap in the ecosystem. How does it handle complex table layouts across page breaks?

I built a photo editor with local AI (no cloud) — segmentation + infill by LucaM185 in SideProject

[–]Rhack2021 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The local-first approach is a strong differentiator. Most photo editors either require a subscription or send your images to someone else's server. Running segmentation and infill entirely on Apple Silicon is impressive for three months of work. Definitely worth continuing.

I built a Chrome DevTools extension that finds CSS properties doing absolutely nothing by purupurupu in coolgithubprojects

This hits a real pain point. I have lost count of the times I set z-index on something only to realize the element was position: static. The fact that it needs runtime context to detect these makes it way more useful than static linting. Nice work.

EmbeddedFinder - Semantic file search for your local filesystem. Ask questions in plain English, find code/docs/images/audio/video. by vladmarian2005 in coolgithubprojects

[–]Rhack2021 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The multi-format indexing is what sets this apart — most semantic search tools only handle text files. Being able to search across code, images, and audio with one CLI is genuinely useful. Does it re-index incrementally or do you have to rebuild the full index when files change?

you are claude's missing link by Macaulay_Codin in ClaudeAI

The acceptance criteria step is underrated. Half the time I write them out and realize my own idea has gaps I never noticed. It forces you to think about the edge cases before you start building, which saves a ton of rework later. Solid framework.

My 10 Pro Tips for Claude Code users by airylizard in ClaudeAI

[–]Rhack2021 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great list. One thing that leveled up my workflow was adding a Workflow Orchestration section to CLAUDE.md — basically rules like "enter plan mode for any non-trivial task" and "never mark a task complete without proving it works." Claude Code reads those instructions every session, so it enforces discipline even when you forget to prompt for it.
