The 5422m4n 🦀

@orhun.dev now you can shine with a medal :)

Just freed 47GB of stale build artifacts and earned gold for it. 🥇

putzen v3.0.0 — cleaning is now a sport. Gold, silver, bronze — how big is your cleanup?

cargo install putzen-cli

Yeah that’s what I thought

@mikenikles.com how are you currently solve it?

Shipping a signed & notarized macOS app from #Rust shouldn't require 200 lines of bash.

cargo codesign macos --app "My App.app" — done.

Wrote up why I built it and how it works:

Very nice

Which city is that again?

Claude Code sometimes ignores web fetch results and wrongly says something doesn’t exist—even when the data and logs prove it does.

Ask again more directly and it usually fixes itself, but it’s easy to miss.

Example:

GitHub - sassman/docker-sandbox-templates Contribute to sassman/docker-sandbox-templates development by creating an account on GitHub.

Docker just got a lot more useful for AI agents.

Try `docker sandbox` with Claude Code. The only catch: you still have to install your full tooling stack (at least once).

Skip that and use a lightweight, custom sandbox template for Claude Code + Rust:
github.com/sassman/doc...

I usually observe the results before committing and steer deduplication and DRY refactorings on the spot.
But 2 month of agentic mess.. enjoy your day 🥳

oh, which one is it?

I roll now
- stripe
- aws lambda
- the mentioned license forge
- email

nicely done!

I will be there pretty soon too with the JPEG Locker app (jpeg-locker.com)

I might reach out for questions

to add more context, here's macOS ancient definition on where does what live:

developer.apple.com/library/arc...

GitHub - sassman/license-guard-rs: Offline software license system using Ed25519 signatures. Rust library and CLI Offline software license system using Ed25519 signatures. Rust library and CLI - sassman/license-guard-rs

btw: not sure if you ever plan a fremium product, just in case, looking for early adopters of github.com/sassman/lice...

let allow you to generate licenses and use the verification lib in your product. fully offline and free

I have tried on my parallel w11 image and the installation went smooth, no admin stuff required and the app started.
Anything in particular to check?

If you’re building #rust CLIs or TUIs and macos’s idea of where configs should live (~/Library/App... Support/..) drives you up the wall, here’s a fix:

a tiny, zero-dependency, dead-simple alternative to the beloved `dirs` crate

say hi to: dirs-lite
crates.io/crates/dirs...

Just had a genuinely heartfelt joy moment:

Claude Code instrumented the `aws` CLI, set up the policies, and handled all the fiddly bits. Cloud infra has always been an endless source of pain and waiting—but with Claude Code, it’s almost… enjoyable.

Also the maturity for cross platform is not best, but I like zed and their take on some things.
So for me this feels quite right at the moment.

I’ve tried all of them and:
- the whole tauri architecture felt too heavy at some point, also js frameworks are usually too heavy for my taste
- slint keeps the code clean, but I dislike dsl and frontend code compilation (didn’t like Qt either back then)
- GPUI is most compelling, yet quite verbose

This is F5 steganography. Invisible to the eye. And now it has a GUI.

JPEG Locker. Open source. Built in Rust.
Coming soon.

What if images on social media could carry more than what you see?

Not someday. Right now.

I grabbed a JPEG from one of my own tweets—a regular screenshot—and revealed a hidden message I had embedded inside it.

But that's just the first 30 seconds.
It gets wilder.

I feel you. For larger applications with a lot of complexity (like panels, pop-up windows, etc.) GPUI, not enough and you have to pull in the zed code base anyways, means living on the edge. Or write a lot of components yourself.
There tauri + webframework x is a valid choice to iterate quickly

Writing GUIs in rust, would you rather go

- the GPUI route (zed's UI framework)
- slint ui (custom UI DSL to learn)
- dioxus (add the web/tauri complexity)

asking for a friend..
leave a comment and share your perspective

what would you expect from a tool called "laylow"

asking for a friend

I feel so honored, not a TUI yet posted by you 🫶🚀

Stenography is a long term hobby since University times..

After years of on-and-off effort, it's finally coming together: the art of hiding data in JPEG files!
