Software engineer focused on digital sovereignty. Writing about FOSS, Linux, and P2P networking while building with self-hosted AI & local LLMs. Like coffee ☕️, geese 🪿, rain 🌦, and walks in the park 🏕. 🐙 github.com/meefik 🌐 meefik.dev
Wanted something useful for my ESP32-S3 + e-paper screen, so I turned it into a physical TTY. Just pipe text over USB serial and it renders with auto-scaling fonts. Writeup: meefik.dev/2026/08/04/p... #DIY #ESP32 #embedded #electronics #epaper #cli #OpenSource
My favorite stack for front-end styling: #TailwindCSS, #daisyUI, and #Iconify 🔥 Why? • JavaScript-only writing • Custom styling where needed • Framework-agnostic & pure CSS output • Automatic tree-shaking • No "class hell" with daisyUI Works perfectly with the #Neux library! 🧑💻
I've tried #WebAwesome, a framework-agnostic #UI component library based on #WebComponents. It works perfectly with the #Neux library because it can be used directly, without the need for JSX or other framework-specific approaches. Try it together in the playground: v49.livecodes.io?x=id/qtqxqig...
You can finally use #Neux (neux.dev) with #AI agents: npx skills add meefik/neux #TypeScript #JavaScript #WebDev
🚀 Neux v0.16: rewritten in #TypeScript Lots of breaking changes, but the DX is much simpler: streamlined render() API, cleaner signal syntax, new untrack(), i18n(), and more. Smaller, faster, stricter. github.com/meefik/neux/ #Frontend #JavaScript

If you build a small open source library, please try to keep it zero dependency. When someone installs your tool, they want your code and not a hidden avalanche of 50 sub dependencies they did not ask for. Keep it lightweight. Keep it predictable. Build trust. 📦 Do you agree?
