swift-glyph draws letters
Real fonts on small screens. No shaping, no hinting, no strings — you own the pixels, it owns the curves.
swift-sieve is written
RFC 5228 email filtering using the Sieve language. I mean, I fell bad making you use that, but it is what there is. And this will do it.
minimal-sqlite is probably usable now
I’m using this 750 line Swift Concurrency friendly SQLite interface in deployed systems. It is holding up well.
A PNG encoder for machines with less memory than the picture
When a framebuffer cannot fit in RAM, fixed-Huffman DEFLATE can turn banded rendering into browser-ready PNGs without zlib’s workspace. The trade-off is less compression than a full encoder, but a practical HTTP screenshot path for tiny embedded dashboards.
Dashboards compress about 10x compared to 30x for an unconstrained compressor.
Added IndexNow Support to Femtoblogger
IndexNow is an aggregator for sending notices that a web page is updated to interested parties. They have an interesting one ended authentication mechanism.
Cool burn from Google
For months this site has been shunned by Google. Something happened now it will discover all the pages, but not look at them or index them. It says it is planning to, but never does it.
They are celebrating their probably accidental black holing of the site by giving me an award for them cutting my clicks to 5 in a month.
