Someone just open-source a tool turns any websites into Android app loacally.
It's called WebToApp.
It converts any website URL into a standalone Android APK in seconds, and it requires absolutely zero Android Studio experience to deploy a full native app.
100% Open Source...
Say goodbye to Google Workspace.
Someone open-sourced a full replacement for Drive, Docs, Meet, Calendar, and Gmail that runs on a server you own for $0 per user.
It's called Nextcloud.
Google charges $7 per user per month. Microsoft charges $6 and is raising it in July. Nextcloud charges nothing, forever, for unlimited users.
Here's what you get:
ā File storage and sync across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS
ā Talk: video calls and chat with no Zoom subscription
ā Calendar, Contacts, and Mail built in
ā Collabora Office: edit documents together in real time, no Google Docs
ā Hundreds of apps in its own app store
ā End-to-end encryption and two-factor authentication
A 50-person company pays Google $4,200 a year minimum. The same company runs Nextcloud on a $20/month server.
100% Opensource.

A scientist in Denmark figured out how to make Claude prepare his job applications. He open-sourced the whole thing.
His name is Mads Lorentzen. He is a PhD geophysicist. He built it on top of Claude Code and released it under MIT license.
Here is what it does. You fork the repo, fill in your background once, and it runs a five-step pipeline for every job you want to apply to.
Step 1. It reads the job posting and scores how well you fit.
Step 2. It drafts a tailored CV in LaTeX, picking only the experience that matches.
Step 3. It writes a cover letter framed around what you would bring to the role.
Step 4. A second AI agent reviews the first agent's work, points out weaknesses, and the first agent revises.
Step 5. It compiles both into clean PDFs you can send.
The whole thing is a folder of markdown files. The candidate profile, the writing style rules, the CV templates, the interview prep notes. Every step is plain text you can read and change.
The job portal search is built for Danish boards. The application workflow itself works for any country.
489 stars. 270 forks. A fork-to-star ratio that high means people are using it, not only bookmarking.
Mads is not a startup founder. He built this because he needed it for himself, then shared it.
This is the future of job hunting. Not a service you pay for. A workflow you own.

Weāre introducing a new GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer (GH-600).
As AI agents become part of modern development workflows, this role-based certification focuses on how developers and teams operate, supervise, and integrate agents across the SDLC.
If youāre already working with tools like GitHub Copilot or exploring agent-driven workflows, weād love your input.

As a Senior Backend Engineer trying to move towards Staff, I can tell you one thing clearly:
At Senior level, knowing system design fundamentals is not enough anymore.
You are expected to design a good system.
At Staff level, you are expected to design the right system for the business, explain the tradeoffs, influence multiple teams, reduce long term operational pain, and make sure the system does not collapse when traffic, teams, and complexity grow.
So if you are already good at system design but still feel stuck at Senior, spend the next 3-6 months building these Staff Engineer muscles.

The Senior to Staff jump is not just about āI can build complex systems.ā
It is:
āI can help the org make better technical decisions, avoid expensive mistakes, and create systems that other engineers can safely build on top of.ā
That is the mindset shift imo.
Google Cloud AI engineer just showed how they go from idea to deployed app at Google in 30-minutes using Claude.
26-minutes. free. by Google AI team.
one person + Claude + Google Cloud = a full engineering org running on a laptop.
worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.
Anthropic's Head of Claude Code shipped 49 features in 2 days ā without writing a single line of code himself.
He just dropped the exact workflow that replaced his entire coding process.
Worth more than any $500 vibe coding course.

SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
A guy scanned an entire house with his phone. Uploaded it.
Now anyone on Earth can walk through it in a browser tab. No app. No VR. No agent. No appointment.
Click ā youāre inside. Every room. Every angle. Every shadow. Photoreal.
The numbers are insane:
- Agent fee on a $500k home: $15,000
- Cost to make this scan: ~$200
- Time to ātourā 50 houses: one evening
- File size: smaller than a TikTok
The science is wild too:
Itās called 3D Gaussian Splatting instead of polygons (how games render), it uses millions of tiny glowing āsplatsā of color and depth.
AI reconstructs reality from your photos. The result loads on a phone and looks like youāre THERE.
The grift opportunity is even wilder:
Freelancers are already charging $300ā$800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues, car dealers, museums.
One person + one phone + one weekend = a business.
Open source. Built on PlayCanvas.

The Flutter & Dart team just released official Agent Skills for Flutter and Dart developers. They moved away from documentation-oriented skills and focused on task-oriented skills instead.
So instead of just giving AI more documentation, these skills are designed to help agents reliably complete actual Flutter and Dart developer tasks like responsive layouts, localization setup, integration tests, pattern matching, and coverage collection.
