Webhooks from Android Apps

Webhooks don’t have to be from a traditional server to a web server. Webhooks can come from any software component which can connect to the internet (or intranet) and send HTTP requests.

Readlists

I love readlists. After it closed down, I used the pinboard’s tag as a way to share it. For a long time, I wanted to own the process and data. Now I do.

GeoJSON and WordPress

I have been using maps inside WordPress using Maps Maker Pro. You can see all my major road trips were mapped using that. I like it so much that I paid for it. But recently, I have been thinking about moving map content outside WordPress and maybe using WordPress only to display. Then came the question of how and where to store GIS content.

USB Foot Pedal or Switch as a Keyboard in Linux

I have been full-time at a standing desk for almost two years now. Except in long meetings (which happens rarely), I don’t sit. I wondered if I could do more with my feet than just standing. What if I could use a foot pedal? Some use cases could be scrolling up/down, muting/unmuting in a meeting, pausing/continuing in OBS, etc.

Simple CGI programming

A simple HTTP server serves static HTML, Javascript, CSS, Images, etc. Sometimes you need a bit of dynamic content from the server-side. There are simple microframeworks to mega frameworks to achieve this. You could use any of these available web frameworks on the server side. But let’s say you don’t have access to any of those frameworks, and you want it to be simple and lightweight. You could try CGI.

Or you are just a web geek and want to spend an hour on old but interesting technology.
