Making progress with the FileForensics app. Timelineview and a timezone switch is implemented. Further working on a Diffview and a Converter for common formats like encodings/timestamps.

Sprinkled a little color over the Hexviewer and added a data inspector with a byte distribution histogram. Byte peekers can have nice things too.

Directory listing and a Gallery is implemented:

Implemented a Viewer module for common image formats (also for: CSVs/SQLite/LevelDB) and a YARA module.

Still working diligently on my FileForensics app. Pane grids are implemented. Scanning for file signatures/metadata too. Working with iced.rs is similar to my experience with Rust. It felt a bit strange at first, but the more you work with it, the more you realize how well-thought-out it is ❤️

The app is slowly taking shape. Documents (PDF, DOCX, ODT, etc.) can now be searched. Files can be filtered by type or hash lists, and I've sprinkled in a bit more color.

Alexander Hübert @huebi.dev · 26/03/2026

Implemented file search, supporting text (utf-8, utf-16), regex, and hex, and a flag column to flag interesting/uninteresting files.

Congratulations if you look like a sweet little puppy after a full day of programming. For me it's more like 😂

Implemented a live view of file categories and statistics; duplicate files are now highlighted and can be filtered:

Needed a break and felt artsy…

Implemented among others a collapsible sidebar, toolbar, tabs, single-file view, and various table selection modes:

Implemented file hashing, timestamp columns, context menus, and CSV export:

Heavy lifting for the virtual list is done: with sorting, filtering, and resizable columns. Want to search through over a million files? Sure, why not. Since drag-and-drop isn’t supported on Linux (Wayland) yet in iced.rs, this one is for the Apple fanboys:

Implemented a hex viewer. Want to skim through a 20 GB file? Here you go:

I am cooking again! This time, I decided to go with iced.rs. It might not be the most beginner-friendly GUI framework, but the code is well-documented and it feels very powerful, flexible, and 'rusty'. Love it so far!

Vince Gilligan didn’t disappoint. A creative, humorous series with great videography and just small narrative paddings. One of the best series I watched for a long, long time. Looking forward for season 2. ★★★★☆ 4.5/5

Jen is doing a great job at WebKit, and her writing about the `lh` unit ♥️ I was wondering how to simply create a fixed grid with row and columns in CSS, and came up with the following solution. To toggle the grid off, the related div can be commented out or deactivated via the browser DevTools.

div#grid {
position: fixed;
pointer-events: none;
inset: 0;
background-image:
repeating-linear-gradient(to right,
rgba(255,255,255,.4) 0,
transparent 1px, /* line thickness columns */
transparent 60px), /* column width */
repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom,
rgba(0, 208, 255,.8) 0,
transparent 2px, /* line thickness rows */
transparent 1lh); /* row height */
}

As I’m coding my blog from scratch with Svelte/Kit + Node + SQLite (loving this combo ❤️), I was in need of an image gallery. So, for fun and practice, I build one (of course in vanilla JavaScript): github.com/huebicode/si...

Couldn’t find a simple syntax highlighter in vanilla JavaScript, so I created one: github.com/huebidev/sim...

Codeblock example with highlighted code.

Programmers are cooked 😂 As seen in the current Fireship video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Wt...

Mother (CTO) opens a cooking pot with the label "Claude" on it and Father (CEO) have a crying Baby (Programmer) in his arm, which is in a crab costume.

You're right! This makes it even easier to grasp 👍 "workbench.tree.indent": 16

Don’t want to get lost in your SvelteKit project? Just change the sort order to files first in your VS Code settings: "explorer.sortOrder": "filesFirst"
