i have opinions about how we fanfiction for the internet, and i don't mean literary or aesthetic ones: i mean your experience of writing it!

this is just my markdown manifesto again:

there is no reason to tangle with google or microsoft for writing copy that will ultimately be rendered as HTML on ao3 and tumblr!! rich text editors are slow as hell on desktop and mobile, both in performance and how much time you waste formatting, which takes your hands from the keyboard whether physical or touchscreen. most users end up redoing that formatting entirely in their destination site's embedded rich text editor and inevitably miss things anyway!! google docs and microsoft word and their ilk were made for printed documents no matter how much they try to mutate to stay relevant—i'm side-eying google's "paste markdown" here, nevermind gemini and copilot!

commonmark markdown is quick and easy to learn. enable markdown on tumblr and all you have to do to is copy and paste (only on desktop, unfortunately). if you don't bother with headers or dividers, the most you have to do afterwards is add a "read more" cut. ao3 is less perfect; you might have to ctrl+R formatting marks for the plain text editor and annoyingly add forward slashes to end tags, but there's still explicit fidelity to the formatting you defined while writing that the clipboard cannot lose. yes, i know "paste with formatting" exists, but it's not a problem for me because I live like this. in markdown, your writing isn't tied to any website or service; it's really yours.

that said, you still need a markdown editor, and there are several:

obsidian.md (windows/android/mac/iOS/linux): i used this for more than three years for grad school and writing. i still use its android app since i sync my notes with a git repo instead of the cloud. without paying for obsidian sync, you can keep your vault in your desktop icloud or google drive folder so you can access it from your phone. it's a great way to learn a version of markdown and get comfortable with just how lightweight and portable your drafts can be. this is a good fit if you've ever used and liked notion and want to focus on words

@ellipsus-writes (web app in open beta; no mobile app yet but the mobile site is functional): they don't market themselves as a markdown editor and clearly aim to replicate a gdocs/word-like, mouse-dependent formatting experience, but they support markdown! if you feel trapped by google because of file sync and being able to share docs privately, this is one of your best bets. i haven't tried this, but i think exporting your work from ellipsus as a .md file and then pasting it into tumblr is Great option

i haven't tried these extensively/recently but know they're out there:

simplenote (android/iOS/windows/macOS/linux): i used this forever ago and it looks like it's grown a lot!

bear (macOS/iOS only)

and another thing is: i think it's nice to use different programs for different parts of life. i use google docs for work and yes, using their awful markdown support, but it still makes a difference to write my fanfiction somewhere else (in the terminal, because i'm the most annoying person alive)!! compartmentalize beyond different accounts, don't let the bastards get you down or make you dependent on them

also i'm not gooning for a brand here i personally use neovim

#sailor soapbox more like #markdown #obsidian.md #ellipsus #*.md

Hi, do you have a source that the tumblr breach is from 2013?

Hey, thank you for asking!

The article included in that post states that pretty much all of the leaked info in the big database that was published comes from old breaches. It doesn't really suggest what amount of the data could be new, or where it might have come from, other than that if there is new data it's only a small portion of the records. In essence: there's no evidence that suggests Tumblr has been breached a second time. That idea was erroneously posited by the OP of the Tumblr post who shared the article, and they've since apologized in the reblogs.

They meant well!

Anyway, you can check to see whether your info is included in this specific breach, and if so what site(s) it came from, by using the tool here: https://cybernews.com/personal-data-leak-check/

An additional anecdote: if you've ever used Google One's tool for checking where your stolen information is being posted on the web, it specifically flags when something it detects is a republishing of old data rather than a new breach. People repost stolen data a lot in order to sell it after the original post gets taken down, or to clean it up so the data is easier for people to access and use.

I can't suggest people go check Google One for themselves because I'm pretty sure the security monitoring functionality is paid (I have Google One for expanded cloud storage, the security monitoring is a relatively recent perk, I think), but Have I Been Pwned is generally the best free option. Firefox Monitor, a Mozilla service for checking whether your data is secure, is powered by HIBP, so better to just go to the source imo.

After checking again, HIBP doesn't seem to have this breach fully catalogued yet (it's a lot of stuff to go through, so that's normal), but the Cyber News tool that was linked in the article in the original post (and which I linked previously) kinda tells you most of what you need to know.

I recognize this isn't as concise as posting a link to an article that debunks rumors of Tumblr getting breached a second time, but the breach is new and also contains nearly 30,000 information sources (my data was found leaked from 10 different sources, all of which I knew about already because they were old, one of which was Tumblr) so honestly I don't think it's even worth focusing on Tumblr on its own tbh.

If you reuse passwords it honestly might be worth it to get a strong password generator and a password manager, then spend a free afternoon going through and updating your accounts. I use Firefox browser's in-built password manager with a strong-but-memorable password for my Firefox account because you can sync passwords between desktop/mobile/various devices, plus there's integration with autofill on Android if you set Firefox as the autofill app in your default app settings.

#this is probably way more than you needed but i slept really poorly so i'm rambling a little.

I saw that you use a tablet, a desktop, and paper notes. How do you conciliate those notes?

Is there a mechanism of making primary notes on one resource and then passing those notes to other while reviewing them?

hi! thanks so much for asking! here are my favorite methods for sharing notes between devices :). i personally have apple devices so i can fairly easily airdrop and sync things between devices, but i also frequently work at the library desktop computers where i can't do that! so here's my tips and tricks for sharing notes between devices

for context: i've been mostly doing digital notetaking recently, but i also like to scan my paper notes as well!

i'm going to be dividing this post into 2 methods! (there will be some overlap). syncing already written notes and syncing notes (in progress) between devices

for already written notes:

the first step i would take is export your notes as a pdf or any other file type. if they're handwritten try going into your notes app (for ios) or downloading a pdf scanner app for your phone! if your notes are digital check the sharing options in your app to see if there's anything about "exporting".

personally, i like to use either discord or notion. i have created a discord server with only myself that i use just for sharing links/files/anything between devices! i like discord because there's apps for pc, mac, tablets, and phones; and even a web app! discord is really nice and fast, and you can make different channels (as pictured below) for organization. as long as your file size isn't too big, you should be fine.

my second app i like to use is notion! notion is such a beast in itself, but i like to use it to upload files and images and links! below are two ways i have used it: to upload pdfs/files, and to upload goodnotes (my notetaking app) links to the pages i'm writing on! similar to discord, notion has apps for all devices, but it also works great just by itself on the website (no app required)! it's really great to access it from all my devices.

another way you could share your notes on different devices is through the cloud! (yes, discord and notion are both through the cloud). google drive, microsoft onedrive, icloud storage, etc. are great tools that you can use to upload files and see on multiple devices. i personally like discord and notion more, just because they're already apps i frequently use, but if you can't get either one cloud-based storage platforms are also a great idea! they definitely have more security than discord or notion, because your files may be at risk of being deleted!

for the purposes of sharing notes to reference on another device when writing an essay, or something of similar vain, i really love discord and/or notion and they both work great!

for syncing notes in real time:

pretty similar to the last one, i would say notion or google docs (or microsoft word on the web i believe has similar functionality, or onenote, anything similar!)

if you want to be writing notes on one device and have them sync up quickly on another - i think any word processing software is the best bet for you.

both notion and google docs you can access them on any device, and/or on their websites too!

google docs is a lot more straightforward, but since notion is so powerful it provides a lot of flexibility for your notes! here's an (old) example of notes i've taken on notion. (i personally really like how easy it is to make columns!)

i hope this helped a little bit! please let me know if you have any more questions :)

also! notetaking is very much an individual thing, if something works for me and doesn't work for you - that's okay! we're all learning and just have to figure out what's best for ourselves.

holy grail of last.fm and spotify music data sites. i'd still say check the actual link but i've copy pasted most of the info n the links below

Spotify

Sites, apps and programs that use your Spotify account, Spotify API or both.

Spotify sites:

Obscurify: Tells you how unique you music taste is in compare to other Obscurify users. Also shows some recommendations. Mobile friendly.

Skiley: Web app to better manage your playlists and discover new music. This has so many functions and really the only thing I miss is search field for when you are managing playlists. You can take any playlist you "own" and order it by many different rules (track name, album name, artist name, BPM, etc.), or just randomly shuffle it (say bye to bad Spotify shuffle). You can also normalize it. For the other functions you don't even need the rights to edit the playlist. Those consists of splitting playlist, filtering out song by genre or year to new playlist, creating similar playlists or exporting it to CFG, CSV, JSON, TXT or XML.

You can also use it to discover music based on your taste and it has a stats section - data different from Last.fm.

Also, dark mode and mobile friendly.

Sort your music: Lets you sort your playlist by all kinds of different parameters such as BPM, artist, length and more. Similar to Skiley, but it works as an interactive table with songs from selected playlist.

Run BPM: Filters playlists based on parameters like BPM, Energy, etc. Great visualized with colorful sliders. Only downside - shows not even half of my playlists. Mobile friendly.

Fylter.in: Sort playlist by BMP, loudness, length, etc and export to Spotify

Spotify Charts: Daily worldwide charts from Spotify. Mobile friendly

Kaleidosync: Spotify visualizer. I would personally add epilepsy warning.

Duet: Darthmouth College project. Let's you compare your streaming data to other people. Only downside is, those people need to be using the site too, so you have to get your friends to log in. Mobile friendly.

Discover Quickly: Select any playlist and you will be welcomed with all the songs in a gridview. Hover over song to hear the best part. Click on song to dig deeper or save the song.

Dubolt: Helps you discover new music. Select an artist/song to view similar ones. Adjust result by using filters such as tempo, popularity, energy and others.

SongSliders: Sort your playlists, create new one, find new music. Also can save Discover weekly every monday.

Stats for Spotify: Shows you Top tracks and Top artists, lets you compare them to last visit. Data different from Last.fm. Mobile friendly

Record Player: This site is crazy. It's a Rube Goldberg Machine. You take a picture (any picture) Google Cloud Vision API will guess what it is. The site than takes Google's guess and use it to search Spotify giving you the first result to play. Mobile friendly.

Author of this site has to pay for the Google Cloud if the site gets more than 1000 requests a month! I assume this post is gonna blow up and the limit will be easily reached. Author suggests to remix the app and set it up with your own Google Cloud to avoid this. If your are able to do so, do it please. Or reach out to the author on Twitter and donate a little if you can.

Spotify Playlist Randomizer: Site to randomize order of the songs in playlist. There are 3 shuffling methods you can choose from. Mobile friendly.

Replayify: Another site showing you your Spotify data. Also lets you create a playlist based on preset rules that cannot be changed (Top 5 songs by Top 20 artists from selected time period/Top 50 songs from selected time period). UI is nice and clean. Mobile friendly, data different from Last.fm.

Visualify: Simpler replayify without the option to create playlists. Your result can be shared with others. Mobile friendly, data different from Last.fm.

The Church Of Koen: Collage generator tool to create collages sorted by color and turn any picture to collage. Works with Last.fm as well.

Playedmost: Site showing your Spotify data in nice grid view. Contains Top Artists, New Artists, Top Tracks and New Tracks. Data different from Last.fm, mobile friendly.

musictaste.space: Shows you some stats about your music habits and let's you compare them to others. You can also create Covid-19 playlist :)

Playlist Manager: Select two (or more) playlists to see in a table view which songs are shared between them and which are only in one of them. You can add songs to playlists too.

Boil the Frog: Choose to artists and this site will create playlists that slowly transitions between one artist's style to the other.

SpotifyTV: Great tool for searching up music videos of songs in your library and playlists.

Spotify Dedup and Spotify Organizer: Both do the same - remove duplicates. Spotify Dedup is mobile friendly.

Smarter Playlists: It lets you build a complex program by assembling components to create new playlists. This seems like a very complex and powerful tool.

JBQX: Do you remember plug.dj? Well this is same thing, only using Spotify instead of YouTube as a source for music. You can join room and listen to music with other people, you all decide what will be playing, everyone can add a song to queue.

Spotify Buddy: Let's you listen together with other people. All can control what's playing, all can listen on their own devices or only one device can be playing. You don't need to have Spotify to control the queue! In my opinion it's great for parties as a wireless aux cord. Mobile friendly.

Opslagify: Shows how much space would one need to download all of their Spotify playlists as .mp3s.

Whisperify: Spotify game! Music quiz based on what you are listening to. Do you know your music? Mobile friendly.

Popularity Contest: Another game. Two artists, which one is more popular according to Spotify data? Mobile friendly, doesn't require Spotify login.

Spotify Apps:

uTrack: Android app which generates playlist from your top tracks. Also shows top artists, tracks and genres - data different from Last.fm.

Statistics for Spotify: uTrack for iOS. I don't own iOS device so I couldn't test it. iOS users, share your opinions in comments please :).

Spotify Programs:

Spicetify: Spicetify used to be a skin for Rainmeter. You can still use it as such, but the development is discontinued. You will need to have Rainmeter installed if you want to try. These days it works as a series of PowerShell commands. New and updated version here. Spicetify lets you redesign Spotify desktop client and add new functions to it like Trash Bin, Shuffle+, Christian Mode etc. It doesn't work with MS Store app, .exe Spotify client is required.

Library Bridger: The main purpose of this program is to create Spotify playlists from your locally saved songs. But it has some extra functions, check the link.

Last.fm

Sites, apps and programs using Last.fm account, Last.fm API or both.

Last.fm sites:

Last.fm Mainstream Calculator: How mainstream is music you listen to? Mobile friendly.

My Music Habits: Shows different graphs about how many artists, tracks and albums from selected time period comes from your overall top artists/tracks/albums.

Explr.fm: Where are the artists you listen to from? This site shows you just that on interactive world map.

Descent: The best description I can think of is music dashboard. Shows album art of currently playing song along with time and weather.

Semi-automatic Last.fm scrobbler: One of the many scrobblers out there. You can scrobble along with any other Last.fm user.

The Universal Scrobbler: One of the best manual scrobblers. Mobile friendly.

Open Scrobbler: Another manual scrobbler. Mobile friendly

Vinyl Scrobbler: If you listen to vinyl and use Last.fm, this is what you need.

Last.fm collage generator, Last.fm top albums patchwork generator and yet another different Last.fm collage generator: Sites to make collages based on your Last.fm data. The last one is mobile friendly.

The Church Of Koen: Collage generator tool to create collages sorted by color and turn any picture to collage. Works with Spotify as well.

Musicorum: So far the best tool for generating collages based on Last.fm data that I ever seen. Grid up to 20x20 tiles and other styles, some of which resemble very well official Spotify collages that Spotify generates at the end of the year. Everything customizable and even supports Instagram story format. Mobile friendly.

Nicholast.fm: Simple site for stats and recommendations. Mobile friendly.

Scatter.fm: Creates graph from your scrobbles that includes every single scrobble.

Lastwave: Creates a wave graph from your scrobbles. Mobile friendly.

Artist Cloud: Creates artist cloud image from you scrobbles. Mobile friendly.

Last.fm Tools: Lets you generate Tag Timeline, Tag Cloud, Artist Timeline and Album Charter. Mobile friendly.

Last Chart: This site shows different types of beautiful graphs visualizing your Last.fm data. Graph types are bubble, force, map, pack, sun, list, cloud and stream. Mobile friendly.

Sergei.app: Very nice looking graphs. Mobile friendly.

Last.fm Time Charts: Generates charts from your Last.fm data. Sadly it seems that it only supports artists, not albums or tracks.

ZERO Charts: Generates Billboard like charts from Last.fm data. Requires login, mobile friendly.

Skihaha Stats: Another great site for viewing different Last.fm stats.

Jakeledoux: What are your Last.fm friends listening to right now? Mobile friendly.

Last History: View your cumulative listening history. Mobile friendly.

Paste my taste: Generates short text describing your music taste.

Last.fm to CSV: Exports your scrobbles to CSV format. Mobile friendly.

Pr.fm: Syncs your scrobbles to your Strava activity descriptions as a list based on what you listened to during a run or biking session, etc. (description by u/mturi, I don't use Strava, so I have no idea how does it work :))

Last.fm apps:

Scroball for Last.fm: An Android app I use for scrobbling, when I listen to something else than Spotify.

Web Scrobbler: Google Chrome and Firefox extension scrobbler.

Last.fm programs:

Last.fm Scrubbler WPF: My all time favourite manual scrobbler for Last.fm. You can scrobbler manually, from another user, from database (I use this rather than Vinyl Scrobbler when I listen to vinyls) any other sources. It can also generate collages, generate short text describing your music taste and other extra functions.

Last.fm Bulk Edit: Userscript, Last.fm Pro is required. Allows you to bulk edit your scrobbles. Fix wrong album/track names or any other scrobble parameter easily.

I want to switch web browsers but I don't know what to do! Specs and ideas below the cut :P

So, I've had my fair share of experiences with web browsers... and I have my opinions. Chrome isn't cutting it for me anymore, and I want to spruce it up a little! Here's what I want:

My specs:

I'm on a MacBook Pro, it's a hater sometimes but fuck it we ball.

I want to integrate this browser into my daily life, which means I want it to be able to sync between my phone, laptop, and iPad. This includes passwords and bookmarks.

I want a program that won't be intensive on my fragile macOS operating system.

It would be a perk to have a browser that also works really well on mobile.

Would love to avoid AI on the browser (or to have one where this feature is easily removable).

I want intuitive features!

I want my data to be safe.

Here are my thoughts:

Chrome:

Good ol' reliable. Works well, gets the job done. I love the tab grouping, passwords manager, the synchronising of tabs between devices, and the Google extensions like Drive and Docs.

I do, however, know that Chrome is a hater on my laptop's capacity to function, taking up a significant portion of memory. I also hate the relentless AI takeover that clouds my searches with unrelated responses. There is a large lack of customisability, and I worry for my personal data being tracked by Google.

Firefox:

Worked well for a while. I loved the customisability, and I found it generally provided what I wanted from it. Haven't used it since 2021, so there may be some large updates since the last time I used it.

I did notice that a lot of websites were unable to properly load with firefox, and that it couldn't handle as intensive stuff as Google Chrome did.

Opera GX:

Used Opera GX almost longer than the rest of these browsers, close second behind Chrome. I liked the side-tab, and all the extra features as part of the browser.

Much like Firefox, I remember websites generally disliking the configuration of Opera GX. I again have not used this browser in many years, so things may have changed. It took up a bit on my mac!

Arc:

Arc was a lovely browser with great functionality of swiping gestures. I greatly enjoyed its integration with the mobile app, and the customisability of the look of the browser.

My mac, however, did not enjoy the memory side of things, and I too had issues with opening websites.

If you have any other ideas, let me know!

AI Code Generators: Revolutionizing Software Development

The way we write code is evolving. Thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence, developers now have tools that can generate entire code snippets, functions, or even applications. These tools are known as AI code generators, and they’re transforming how software is built, tested, and deployed.

In this article, we’ll explore AI code generators, how they work, their benefits and limitations, and the best tools available today.

What Are AI Code Generators?

AI code generators are tools powered by machine learning models (like OpenAI's GPT, Meta’s Code Llama, or Google’s Gemini) that can automatically write, complete, or refactor code based on natural language instructions or existing code context.

Instead of manually writing every line, developers can describe what they want in plain English, and the AI tool translates that into functional code.

How AI Code Generators Work

These generators are built on large language models (LLMs) trained on massive datasets of public code from platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and documentation. The AI learns:

Programming syntax

Common patterns

Best practices

Contextual meaning of user input

By processing this data, the generator can predict and output relevant code based on your prompt.

Benefits of AI Code Generators

1. Faster Development

Developers can skip repetitive tasks and boilerplate code, allowing them to focus on core logic and architecture.

2. Increased Productivity

With AI handling suggestions and autocompletions, teams can ship code faster and meet tight deadlines.

3. Fewer Errors

Many generators follow best practices, which helps reduce syntax errors and improve code quality.

4. Learning Support

AI tools can help junior developers understand new languages, patterns, and libraries.

5. Cross-language Support

Most tools support multiple programming languages like Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, and TypeScript.

Popular AI Code Generators

Tool

Highlights

GitHub Copilot

Amazon CodeWhisperer

AWS-native tool for generating and securing code

Tabnine

Predictive coding with local + cloud support

Replit Ghostwriter

Ideal for building full-stack web apps in the browser

Codeium

Free and fast with multi-language support

Keploy

AI-powered test case and stub generator for APIs and microservices

Use Cases for AI Code Generators

Writing functions or modules quickly

Auto-generating unit and integration tests

Refactoring legacy code

Building MVPs with minimal manual effort

Converting code between languages

Documenting code automatically

Example: Generate a Function in Python

Prompt: "Write a function to check if a number is prime"

AI Output:

python

CopyEdit

def is_prime(n):

if n <= 1:

return False

for i in range(2, int(n**0.5) + 1):

if n % i == 0:

return False

return True

In seconds, the generator creates a clean, functional block of code that can be tested and deployed.

Challenges and Limitations

Security Risks: Generated code may include unsafe patterns or vulnerabilities.

Bias in Training Data: AI can replicate errors or outdated practices present in its training set.

Over-reliance: Developers might accept code without fully understanding it.

Limited Context: Tools may struggle with highly complex or domain-specific tasks.

AI Code Generators vs Human Developers

AI is not here to replace developers—it’s here to empower them. Think of these tools as intelligent assistants that handle the grunt work, while you focus on decision-making, optimization, and architecture.

Human oversight is still critical for:

Validating output

Ensuring maintainability

Writing business logic

Securing and testing code

AI for Test Case Generation

Tools like Keploy go beyond code generation. Keploy can:

Auto-generate test cases and mocks from real API traffic

Ensure over 90% test coverage

Speed up testing for microservices, saving hours of QA time

Keploy bridges the gap between coding and testing—making your CI/CD pipeline faster and more reliable.

Final Thoughts

AI code generators are changing how modern development works. They help save time, reduce bugs, and boost developer efficiency. While not a replacement for skilled engineers, they are powerful tools in any dev toolkit.

The future of software development will be a blend of human creativity and AI-powered automation. If you're not already using AI tools in your workflow, now is the time to explore. Want to test your APIs using AI-generated test cases? Try Keploy and accelerate your development process with confidence.

Phoenix App Development: How to Build a Robust and Scalable Backend

The vibrant tech hub of Phoenix, Arizona, is a breeding ground for innovation in mobile app development. Here at Net-Craft.com, a leading mobile app development company in Scottsdale, we understand the critical role a strong backend plays in your mobile app's success. A well-crafted backend ensures seamless functionality, scalability to accommodate growth, and ultimately, a superior user experience. This article delves into the intricacies of Phoenix app development and explores the key elements of building a robust and scalable backend for your mobile application.

Understanding the Phoenix App Development Landscape

The Phoenix mobile app development landscape offers a wealth of talent and expertise. Companies in this tech hub boast experience across diverse industries, ensuring they can tailor backend solutions to your specific needs. Here are some key considerations when navigating the Phoenix app development scene for your backend needs:

Backend Development Expertise: Look for companies with a proven track record in building robust and scalable backends for mobile applications. Explore their portfolio and case studies to understand their experience with various backend technologies.

Scalability Solutions: As your app gains traction, your backend needs to keep pace. Choose a Phoenix app development company that can implement solutions for horizontal scaling, allowing you to add more servers to handle increased traffic.

Security Measures: Data security is paramount. Partner with a company that prioritizes robust security measures to protect user data and ensure application security.

The Pillars of a Robust Phoenix App Development Backend

Now, let's delve into the core components of a robust and scalable backend for your Phoenix app development project:

1. API (Application Programming Interface) Design:

The API acts as the bridge between your mobile app and the backend. A well-designed API facilitates smooth communication and data exchange, ensuring a seamless user experience. Here are some key aspects of effective API design for Phoenix app development:

RESTful Architecture: REST (Representational State Transfer) is a widely adopted architectural style for APIs. It ensures a standardized approach to data access and manipulation, simplifying integration with your mobile app.

Security Implementation: Secure your API with authentication and authorization mechanisms. This ensures only authorized users can access sensitive data and functionalities within your app.

Documentation and Versioning: Clear and concise API documentation is crucial for developers working on your mobile app. Additionally, implement version control to manage changes and ensure compatibility with your app.

2. Database Selection:

The type of database you choose for your Phoenix app development backend depends on your specific needs. Here's a breakdown of popular options:

Relational Databases (SQL): For structured data, relational databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL offer a robust and scalable solution. They are well-suited for applications with complex data relationships.

NoSQL Databases: For unstructured or frequently changing data, NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Cassandra offer flexibility and scalability. They are ideal for applications that handle large volumes of data or require real-time updates.

3. Server-Side Logic and Business Rules:

The backend is where the magic happens. Server-side logic handles complex calculations, business rules, and data processing tasks that wouldn't be efficient on the mobile device itself. This ensures a smooth user experience on the mobile app and frees up resources for a responsive interface.

4. Cloud Infrastructure:

Leveraging cloud infrastructure for your Phoenix app development backend offers numerous advantages. Cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provide scalability, cost-effectiveness, and high availability. They allow you to easily scale your backend resources up or down based on your app's traffic demands.

Benefits of a Robust and Scalable Backend

Investing in a well-designed backend for your Phoenix app development project yields numerous benefits:

The Future of Web Development: Trends, Techniques, and Tools

Web development is a dynamic field that is continually evolving to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world. With businesses relying more on online presence and user experience becoming a priority, web developers must stay abreast of the latest trends, technologies, and best practices. In this blog, we’ll delve into the current landscape of web development, explore emerging trends and tools, and discuss best practices to ensure successful web projects.

Understanding Web Development

Web development involves the creation and maintenance of websites and web applications. It encompasses a variety of tasks, including front-end development (what users see and interact with) and back-end development (the server-side that powers the application). A successful web project requires a blend of design, programming, and usability skills, with a focus on delivering a seamless user experience.

Key Trends in Web Development

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): PWAs are web applications that provide a native app-like experience within the browser. They offer benefits like offline access, push notifications, and fast loading times. By leveraging modern web capabilities, PWAs enhance user engagement and can lead to higher conversion rates.

Single Page Applications (SPAs): SPAs load a single HTML page and dynamically update content as users interact with the app. This approach reduces page load times and provides a smoother experience. Frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js have made developing SPAs easier, allowing developers to create responsive and efficient applications.

Responsive Web Design: With the increasing use of mobile devices, responsive design has become essential.

Distributed Servers – refer to a network of connected servers that are spread across a geographic region or multiple locations. This allows for sharing of resources, such as data, application and storage, over a large area and the ability to access and utilize information quickly and effectively. Distributed servers can also improve system performance, reliability, and scalability, as well as providing failover capabilities and redundancy in case of server failure. The use of distributed servers is prominent in cloud computing and related technologies, as it allows for remote access, storage, and computing of data without the need for physical servers in each location. 3. Datacenters – A datacenter is a facility dedicated to the housing, operation, and management of computer systems and data. These facilities usually contain servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and other information technology components, as well as environmental controls to maintain an optimal operating temperature and humidity for the equipment. Datacenters are fundamental for organizations and businesses that rely on large amounts of data and technology for their operations, and allow for secure and reliable storage and management of data. They can also provide services such as cloud computing, storage, and network connections for other companies or organizations.

Cloud Computing:

Cloud computing is a computing model in which data and applications are stored and processed in remote servers or data centers, rather than on local devices or systems. This allows for the sharing of resources and data among multiple users and devices, improved scalability and flexibility, and access to data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. Cloud computing can be provided through a variety of models, such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

Types of Clouds

1.Public Cloud -is an internet-based cloud computing service that is provided by a third-party provider and is accessible to the general public. Users access the Public Cloud through a subscription or pay-as-you-go model, allowing them to use its capabilities and resources as needed, without having to build and manage their own infrastructure or hardware. The Public Cloud provides a range of services, such as computing power, storage, networking, application and database hosting, analytics, and artificial intelligence. It is often used by organizations and individuals to reduce the cost and complexity of building and managing their own IT infrastructure. 2.Private Cloud - is an internal or privately hosted cloud computing environment, controlled and managed by a single organization or individual. Unlike the Public Cloud, which is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, the Private Cloud is restricted to a limited number of users, often within the same organization or network. Private Clouds provide many of the same capabilities and services as Public Clouds, but with higher security and control over data and resources. They also offer the flexibility to manage and support applications and workloads in a customized environment, without the need for large capital investments in data center equipment and infrastructure. 3.Community Cloud - is a type of cloud computing environment that is shared among a group of organizations or entities within a specific geographical, industrial, or academic community. It allows these organizations to utilize a shared cloud structure, resources, and tools while maintaining control and governance over their own data and systems. In contrast to a Public Cloud, which is operated by a third-party provider and accessible to anyone with an internet connection, a Community Cloud is typically owned and managed by a governing body or consortium of participating organizations. This governance allows for more control over data, security, and other considerations, while still providing the benefits of cloud computing. 4.Hybrid Cloud-is a cloud computing environment that combines the use of both Private and Public Clouds. This approach allows organizations to leverage the advantages and capabilities of each cloud model, while also reducing the drawbacks and risks associated with relying entirely on one type of cloud. In a Hybrid Cloud, some data, systems, or applications may be hosted on a Private Cloud, while other data or more demanding workloads may be hosted on a Public Cloud. This approach provides the option to move workloads between clouds based on the specific requirements or performance needs. Hybrid Clouds are becoming increasingly popular as a way to optimize cost, flexibility, and performance in cloud computing deployments.

Smarter Memories: How Kwikpic is Transforming Event & Wedding Photo Sharing with AI

AI-powered photo sharing is revolutionizing how we deliver memories—connecting every guest with their photos instantly, securely, and effortlessly.

In today’s world, we capture more photos than ever. However, when it comes to sharing them after weddings, school events, corporate functions, or family gatherings, most guests never get to see the moments they were part of. The issue isn't taking the photo—it's making sure it reaches the right person.

That’s where Kwikpic steps in.

With smart AI facial recognition and a seamless experience, Kwikpic makes event photo sharing automatic, private, and personal—no more sifting through endless folders or relying on clunky drives. Just fast, direct access to every moment that matters.

Traditional Event Photo Sharing: Why It Falls Short

If you’ve ever received a Google Drive link after an event, you know the frustration—hundreds of unorganized photos, duplicates, and irrelevant shots. Tools like WhatsApp and cloud storage weren’t designed for high-volume image sharing or protecting user privacy.

Over 70% of event attendees never receive their photos—leading to billions of lost memories every year.
