I hate the spotify media bar disappearing in the native app. So I created this tool which fixes it, it is fully open source and you can download it from my github, there are download links there :)

https://github.com/Colbyco/spotify-classic-lyrics

What it is: 24 free tools to scan, merge, split, sign, compress, redact and password-protect PDFs, plus a document scanner that finds the page edges and makes scans searchable, and a built-in viewer where you can search and copy text. Everything runs on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking. Optional Google Drive sync.

Hi everyone,

I need some career advice. I currently have a TCS offer of 3.5 LPA, and I am working as a Backend Developer at a small company with a salary of 3 LPA.

Here is my situation:

- I joined my current company during my B.Tech 4th year, 2nd semester.

- I have completed 8 months of backend development experience.

- I recently graduated.

- My current company does not provide a PF account.

- I am gaining practical backend development experience, but I am also considering looking for better job opportunities.

I am confused about whether I should stay in my current company, continue my job search for better backend developer roles, or leave and join TCS.

The salary difference between my current job and the TCS offer is only ₹50,000 per year.

My questions:

1. Will not having a PF account create problems during background verification or future job applications?

2. Should I join TCS or continue searching for better backend developer opportunities?

3. With 8 months of experience, is it realistic to find a backend developer job with a better package?

4. What would be the best decision for my long-term career growth?

I would appreciate honest advice from people working in the IT industry, especially those who have experience with TCS or have switched jobs early in their careers.

Thank you!

Sleek and comprehensive auto typer I made, this is for you students wanting to paste in ChatGPT lmfao

Got tired of bloated overlay apps just to see my FPS and temps, and I always loved the classic Rainmeter dark glass look, so I built FrameRate.

It's a tiny native Windows overlay with 3 built-in HUDs:

- Core HUD: FPS counter, live frame time graph, and CPU/GPU/RAM ring gauges

- System Bars: Classic compact CPU / RAM / SWAP progress bars

- Competitive Micro-Bar: Minimal single-line strip (`FPS | 1% Low | MS | GPU temp`)

It sits in your system tray, stays out of Alt+Tab, and lets you drag or pin HUDs on top of your games.

Not affiliated in any way. Came across Deskflow today looking for a decent KVM/KB/USB switch. Saved me like $60.

What it does: Use one mouse and keyboard across multiple physical computers (not screens, computers). My home office situation is niche in that I need access to multiple computers at the same time but I have individual monitors for all of them. This program lets me use them as easily as if I'm just using multiple monitors on one PC. It seems to be able to support up to 9 systems (1 acting as keyboard/mouse server, plus 8 clients), though I don't know what impact on performance there'd be.

Why I love it: I don't have to do anything "extra" to use a keyboard on another machine; I just move my mouse to that screen, no needing to click, and voila, that's where my keyboard also works.

Where to get it: GitHub. Available for Linux and Windows. Maybe Mac OS?

Grats and thanks to the Deskflow team and contributors. That's all. Don't really have much else to say.

Where can I learn Python for free? Which YouTube channel or other free platform is best for learning Python from beginner to advanced level? Please share your recommendations based on your experience.

Hey all,

I've been quietly working on something new.

Aura Dock is a small launcher that lives on the edge of your screen. Your home screen stays clean, with just a thin glow on the edge. Swipe it and your apps and folders slide out. You can add handles on any edge, change their colour, animation and size, or make one completely invisible: nothing on the screen at all, and when you swipe where you know it is, it opens on glass.

The video above shows it in action.

It also works alongside Aura. The two apps share the edges, so the dock keeps out of the way of your notification glows.

Honestly, thank you all for the support. Your feedback on Aura shaped a lot of this one. If you know someone whose home screen is drowning in icons, I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with them. It helps a solo dev more than you'd think.

Thanks again ❤️

I like the simplicity of Airtable but I keep running into limits around permissions, user roles and more customized workflows.

Instead of finding another spreadsheet-style database, I'm wondering if it makes more sense to build a lightweight internal app around the data with AI.

Has anyone gone this route for a tool that needs proper RBAC and user management?

Hi everyone,

Standard desktop calculator apps often disrupt your workflow because they force you to switch to the mouse to click visual buttons when computing multi-step expressions.

To solve this, I developed ViCalc—a lightweight, open-source scientific calculator built for users who prefer muscle memory, rapid touch-typing, and seamless history tracking.

Key Features:

• Full Touch-Typing Control: Execute scientific, trigonometric, complex arithmetic, and Programmer-mode operations (bitwise & Base-N Hex/Dec/Oct/Bin) entirely from your keyboard.
• Automatic HTML History Logging: Calculation sessions are automatically saved and structured into clean HTML files, making it simple to copy, archive, or paste step-by-step logs into notes or technical documentation.
• Flexible Layouts: Easily switch between full visual controls, a compact scientific layout, or a zero-UI minimalist mode.

Details:

• Platform: Windows (Installer available)
• License: Open Source (MIT License)
• Tech Stack: Python 3

Links:

• GitHub Repository: github.com/Kudaschov/ViCalc
• Homepage: kudaschov.de/en/vicalc-4

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! What feature or shortcut do you find most essential in a desktop calculator app?

Snipping Tool froze on me one too many times, so I got pissed off again and built my own.

It takes over Print Screen (region, window, monitor, all monitors, recording), freezes the desktop so menus stay in the shot, and drops everything into an encrypted album you can search by the text inside the pictures. It also has an editor with real redaction, MP4/GIF recording, a CLI, and works with KillerMCP.

Same deal as the rest of the Killer Apps family: free, GPLv3, no account, no telemetry. Same themes and languages too. The latest language is Slovenian bringing the languages up to twenty now.

Let me know what breaks. There will be bugs and I'm stretching myself pretty thin these days so bug reports and feature requests are helpful.

I also have a ton of other new stuff coming out soon...

I bought the C-PEN Connect BT10 on eBay, hoping to use it with my computer. I got it and tried to download and find the software for it, but I ran into some trouble. I cannot, for the life of me, find software for PC that will actually connect with this pen. I found an unlisted Android app that I remotely installed, which let the pen work on my phone, but I cannot find a way to get this thing working on my PC. I need help, please and thank you.

Hey guys,

I require to select colors of a video. I am looking for a software (best webapp) which is easy to use and can pick color from videos. I would like to scroll through the video and in a given frame pick a color. Do you know any?

Gemini recommended me: A color picker and a video programm and just do it with screen but I look for a method which I can use everywhere.
