For 15 years I've been obsessed with receipt printers and the protocols that they speak. I created an open-source encoder that can run in the browser can create receipts and send them to the printer. That turned into a whole project that is now used by dozens of products: point-of-sale.dev

Not a fan of vibe coding, but Safari's new "Describe Extension" is shockingly useful. Normally publishing on the App Store costs $99/yr & sideloading on iOS is a pain. I "built" one that hides my LinkedIn feed so I stop wasting time on AI slop. 💀 support.apple.com/en-is/guide/...
