ArticleSeptember 4, 2026Archify: the agent that maps your project's architecture into verified diagramsOne of the best skills for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex: the agent studies your project, finds the services and links, draws architecture, workflow and sequence diagrams and runs nine checks on them. A lifesaver for vibe-coded projects where nobody remembers what lives where. Free, MIT.Not every project has an architecture diagram. If one ever existed, it was drawn long ago, abandoned, and the project has moved far past it since. And if the project was vibe-coded, there never was a diagram: services, integrations and webhooks appeared one prompt at a time, and a couple of months later digging in yourself to work out what lives where and what talks to what is hard and confusing, because there is sim…

ArticleSeptember 2, 2026React Bits: the best visual component library for React in 2026171 ready effects: shader backgrounds, three-dimensional galleries, text that answers the cursor. One command to install, free. We have run it in production for over a year and recommend it.Some sites are impossible to fault and impossible to look at. Everything is in place: the grid is even, the typeface is decent, the spacing has been thought about. And the page still reads as a template, because nothing on it happens.

ArticleAugust 31, 2026deploy-your-own-saas: 149 self-hosted apps instead of subscriptionsA catalogue of self-hosted alternatives to Google Photos, Notion, Spotify and Dropbox that updates itself daily and marks abandoned projects honestly.There are dozens of "replace the cloud with your own" lists out there, and most of them are dead: links point at repositories whose last commit landed four years ago, and half the projects have moved. Checking each one by hand takes longer than searching from scratch. This catalogue solved that differently — it handed the checking to a robot.

ArticleAugust 31, 2026geo-seo-claude: audit your site for ChatGPT and PerplexityA Claude Code skill that checks if your site is ready for AI answers: crawler access, llms.txt, passage citability and Schema. One command, one report.People increasingly ask a model rather than a search box: "which automation course should a beginner take", "what can replace Notion". The answer gets assembled from a handful of sources, and getting into it is a job ordinary SEO tools do not do — they count positions, not citations.

ArticleAugust 29, 2026The Spline 3D library: ready-made scenes for landing pagesA cursor-following robot, liquid glass in the hero, living typography. Hundreds of ready-made scenes sit open and land on your site in two lines of code.A live 3D scene above the fold was, for fifteen years, a sign that a project could afford a studio. WebGL has shipped in browsers since 2013, but the road from "I want something beautiful on the home page" to a result ran through Three.js: scene, camera, lights, materials, render loop — all by hand, all in code.

ToolAugust 28, 2026browser-useA Python library that gives an agent a browser and a task in plain words: go here, find this, fill that in. A hundred thousand stars, MIT.Half of the routine on the internet is not thinking but repetition: collect prices from ten sites, pull a report from a dashboard with no API, fill the same form forty times. browser-use takes that part: you describe the task in words, the agent opens a browser and works through the steps itself.

ToolAugust 28, 2026ClineA coding agent inside VS Code: reads the project, edits files, runs commands, and shows every step before it applies.Claude Code lives in the terminal — its strength and its barrier at once: plenty of people never go near a terminal. Cline does the same work inside the editor: a side panel, a diff in the window you already read diffs in, an apply button.

ToolAugust 28, 2026markitdownTurns PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and images into clean markdown a model can read without losing the structure.The problem it solves is familiar to anyone who has fed documents to a model: a PDF is not text inside, it is character coordinates on a page. Hand one over directly and the table falls apart, headings blend into captions, and column order becomes a matter of luck.

ToolAugust 28, 2026modelcontextprotocol/serversThe official collection of reference MCP servers: files, web fetch, memory, git. The place to start when you wire up MCP for the first time.This is not one server but the repository the protocol team keeps itself: reference implementations of MCP servers, plus an index of third-party ones. Nearly ninety thousand stars — for an infrastructure repository, a number that reflects people coming for the reference rather than a trend.

ToolAugust 28, 2026playwright-mcpGives the agent a real browser: open a page, fill a form, wait for the response. From Microsoft, Apache-2.0.Playwright is Microsoft's browser automation library, the one half the web's end-to-end tests run on. This MCP server hands it to the agent: the model can open a page, click, fill a form, wait for a load and read the result.

ArticleAugust 27, 2026caveman: a third off your tokens by having the agent read lessA project whose motto tells you everything: "why many token when few token also trick". What it actually cuts, what the benchmark shows, and why the licence matters more here than the savings figures.Every extra token is money. When the agent reads a whole file to change one line, then answers in three paragraphs where one line would do, the bill grows quietly. The caveman project takes a very direct view of this, stated in its motto: "why many token when few token also trick". Behind the joke is serious engineering — and one point that makes us say: do not rush to build on it.

ArticleAugust 27, 2026claude-mem: so you stop explaining your project every morningA plugin that remembers what you did in the last session and feeds the relevant part into the next one. How it is built, what it installs on your machine, and who it actually saves time for.Anyone who has worked with AI for longer than a week knows the ritual. You open a new session and start again: "I have a Next.js project, here is the structure, here is what we did yesterday, here is why that file must not be touched." Ten minutes recounting what you already recounted yesterday. And the day before.

ArticleAugust 25, 2026The Claude Code ecosystem: what to take and what to skipThere are now more catalogues and templates around Claude Code than there is time to check them. Here is which repositories actually save hours, and which are just long lists of links.In eighteen months an ecosystem has grown around Claude Code that is now genuinely hard to navigate. More than fifteen thousand plugins have been indexed, there are dozens of catalogues, and nearly every one calls itself "the most complete". The trouble is that completeness is worth nothing here: a list of four hundred links helps exactly as much as searching GitHub does.

GuideJuly 10, 2026A Deep AI Agent: An Expert Built From BooksA regular AI knows about everything — but only on the surface. Ask it about marketing and you'll get the 'internet average.' We went another way: we took books by top experts, pulled out their core principles, and packed them into a knowledge base. Now our agent doesn't answer 'like everyone' — it answers like an expert who has read the right books, and shows where every piece of advice comes from. This guide breaks down how it works in plain words, and why it's cheaper than it sounds.

CourseJune 27, 2026From Chat to App: 3 Ways to Put AI to WorkGo from typing questions into a chat to building and shipping your own app. Learn the three ways to give AI real access — chat with your files, an agent in your browser, and Claude Code in your terminal — and finish by building a real landing page from scratch. No coding experience required.
