KptnCook

Nero3ooo developed a helpful Progressive Web App (PWA) frontend for my KptnCook scraper. This is particularly useful if you use the KptnCook app on your smartphone and want to save recipes for later. Now, you can simply use the share button in the KptnCook app to share recipes directly with the PWA. I feel a bit guilty about neglecting KptnCook lately, as I've been so busy. I really should maintain it more actively 😅.

Progress Update on Vibe Coding Project

I've made significant progress on my vibe coding experiment (Nyxmon). The monitoring agent is now running fairly stably, so I decided to create a dashboard to display all the checks in one place. To make use of the empty space, I added a progress ring that shows when each check will run next. Users can manually trigger checks or disable them as needed. While it looks like a modern single-page application, it's actually a traditional multi-page application that uses htmx and some web components running on a Django backend. My next steps will be implementing more sophisticated checks that go beyond simple HTTP status monitoring—like analyzing JSON responses or supporting other protocols such as ICMP.
