Turning Google Maps Scraper Output into a 0-100 Lead Priority Score (No Scraping, No LLM)

If you've ever built a lead-gen pipeline for a local SEO or web design agency, you know the pattern: scrape a bunch of businesses off Google Maps, then manually eyeball which ones are worth calling. Missing website? Good lead. Unclaimed Google Business Profile? Also good. Both? Great lead. But sorting hundreds or thousands of rows by hand on multiple criteria doesn't scale. I built Google Maps Lead Priority Scorer, an Apify Actor that takes the JSON output you already have from a Google Maps scr

I built a QA agent that audits itself nightly. It has filed 79 findings against its own releases.

Most "AI QA agents" audit your repo from scratch every time and end with LGTM. I wanted the opposite: a tester with memory, a failure taxonomy, a verdict contract, and no ability to touch the code it judges. So in Verdict the model only judges. A stdlib harness measures everything else — timestamps, SHAs, test counts, diff coverage, a signed run history — and a validator refuses any state that claims more than was measured. A state file carries the baseline, so every run is a delta: NEW / STILL_

RAG ou MCP? A pergunta errada. Cole o prompt e monte os dois

Pessoal, a gente não está deixando o harness nem o LLM mais inteligente. Nem com RAG, nem com MCP, nem com fine-tuning. É disciplina: contexto direcionado na hora certa. Aí a predição acerta mais. RAG, fine-tuning ou MCP? A pergunta já nasce torta. Não compete. Cada um mora numa camada. RAG é a knowledge base. Logseq, Notion, Confluence, o doc do time. Política, contrato, runbook. Na hora da pergunta, a busca devolve o trecho. Com fonte. Precisa apontar o arquivo? Isso já é RAG. Quando a página

Saving a Real File From Flutter Web, Instead of Downloading Another Copy

Build an editor on Flutter Web. The user opens budget.csv, edits it, hits budget.csv in their Downloads folder. They edit again, save again: budget (1).csv. Again: budget (2).csv. Their real file — the one on their Desktop that they opened — has never been The File System Access API gives a page a real handle to a real file, with It is a genuine capability, gated properly: the user picks the file, the browser final file = await FileSystemAccess.openFile(); await file.write(bytes); // the same

Introducing TaxUI: A Modern Declarative HTML & CSS Framework with Zero JavaScript

Hey fellow developers! 👋 Like many of you, I've spent countless hours configuring build tools, writing endless strings of utility classes, or importing heavy JavaScript bundles just to achieve basic application layouts, responsive grids, modals, and dark mode. I wanted something different: a framework where writing HTML feels clean, intuitive, and semantic again, without sacrificing modern design standards or adding runtime overhead. That is why I created TaxUI. 💡 What is TaxUI? Instead of wri
