> We also don't have continuous deployment (CD) set up. That's a weird thing for me to say as a positive, because for a very long time that was a hallmark of good software engineering practices... but with me shipping 108 PRs in a week, I actually have been thinking differently.

It’s still a hallmark of good software engineering.

Would love to talk to you more about hardware supply chain issues and challenges.

Meanwhile if anyone is tired of their smart TV being a spyware or showing ads, I would love to talk to you. This is what I am building: https://soljacast.com

My solution is a casting device like chromecast or apple tv which works without apps and cables. Now I am extending the device's canvas for personal use case without the concept of app stores. AI can control the canvas, show multimedia content, open any website/app, and show you options to log in by extracting context, then control it.

So I can tell it to open netflix, it shows login options on screen and once logged in, you can ask it to show catalog or play something by just talking to it.

It can connect and cast content to TWO external screens simultaneously, that I think is the most powerful feature.

No third-party installs, ads and spywares!

I have been using it for both personal use and other work use-cases, here is a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jObZzI2_pv0

Just like youtube, I can log in to my netflix, amazon prime and then use the touch screen to choose the movie to watch and it gets played on the external screen. I am building it how I would use it as a power user.

105/13000 is a very small number to focus on. This data doesn't really mean anything.

Highly recommended!

6 months ago, I also started experimenting with Raspberry Pi, and now I am working on a Chromecast alternative for businesses called Soljacast using RPi. My device can work as digital signage, or a casting device for co-workings and event companies that use computers at events for presentations.

I am also using it to build a personal companion AI device with a screen, sort of like an Amazon Echo Show but with Microsoft's Clippy in there. So I am sure people are building even more complex stuff than me.

Here is a video of how my device is being used at a local exhibition venue: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FF3I9EOs4AA

Inspired by uv's use of rkyv, snapconfig compiles JSON/YAML/TOML/INI/env files to a binary cache, then memory-maps them for zero-copy reads. Cold loads are slower than Python's json module, but cached loads are 10-1000x faster. Benchmark results are available on github repo.

Perfect for Celery workers, serverless functions, AI workflows, or any setup where multiple processes read the same config.

What does this mean in context of downloadable desktop apps?

Since it’s open source and based on GitHub workspaces, it’s free and works very smoothly.
