mdn/browser-compat-data #30171
Corrected Firefox compat data for FontFaceSet.values() / .keys() / .entries(). Tested 11 iteration behaviors across Firefox 153 and Chrome 151 to establish which three subfeatures are broken and which work correctly — a distinction the original report never made.
python-visualization/folium #2263
Root-caused and fixed issue #1520 (open since 2021): GeoJSON tooltips/popups came up empty on multi-geometry features because feature never reached the child layers Leaflet wraps in a FeatureGroup. Fix verified against all eight geometry types plus nested GeometryCollections, with a Selenium regression test.
jupyterlab/jupyterlab #19257
Fixed the low-contrast variable names in the Debugger Variables panel by swapping a hard-coded color for an existing --jp- theme token, so the text stays readable in both light and dark themes.

- Filed
adobe/react-spectrum#10411 with a live reproduction — the S2 docs playground was emitting Tooltip code samples that didn't typecheck; a maintainer shipped the fix the next day. - Posted browser-tested findings on
react-spectrum#8027 andmdn/content#45005, including the negative results.
A research tool: right-click any web image to download it and log a local citation record of its source — page URL/title, canonical URL, Open Graph metadata, alt text, figure caption, plus the nearest heading/paragraph/link via deterministic DOM heuristics.
- Privacy-first architecture — a service worker paired with an on-demand content script using
activeTab+scriptingpermissions; zero background access to browsing data. - Handles real-world messiness — lazy-loaded image attributes, duplicate-capture detection, retry logic, graceful fallbacks on restricted pages.
- Local & exportable — up to 5,000 records live entirely in
chrome.storage.local, reviewable on an options page and exportable as JSON/CSV (CSV hardened against spreadsheet formula injection).
Visualizes how often different categories of profanity appear across 52 college-sports YouTube videos by a popular creator — to find out which collegiate rivalries are the most controversial linguistically.
- The workflow — scrape audio via the YouTube API ➜ transcribe with the Whisper neural network on Hugging Face ➜ analyze transcripts to categorize terms.
- Interactive — charts built with SVG & D3.js, plus full-text search across all transcripts.
An MVP platform that indexes literary and art pieces published by independent journals without republishing copyrighted material.
- Data pipeline — scraping, ingestion & metadata-modeling workflows normalize journal content into structured, searchable records: titles, journals, authors, translators, visual artists, genres, keywords & reading time (Gemini AI / Colab notebook).
- Discovery experience — helps readers browse real pieces, return to the original journal sources, and (future) explore a contributor graph linking writers, artists, institutions, journals & publications.
[!TIP] Presented at the Perplexity AI Billion Dollar Pitch competition.
A full-stack RAG pipeline to chat with the Film Locations in San Francisco dataset. Completed during a DigitalOcean / Auth0 hackathon in San Francisco on Oct 18, 2025.
A full-stack project ingesting data from WindBorne Systems' live constellation API, feeding two D3.js plots:
- A world map displaying each flight trajectory over a 24-hour interval.
- A Sankey chart showing the start/end region of each trajectory (via geonames.org and nominatim.openstreetmap.org APIs).
The project runs an automated pipeline that fetches and processes new data hourly on an Ubuntu cloud server, and uses Cloudflare Workers to edge-cache the data files.
A web game for people learning Russian / English / German. Inspired by real events on the Eastern Front from 1941–1945, it educates users about Holocaust history through historical materials and witnesses' artworks.
