We Are the Last People Who Know How It Works

I Built an Open-Source Canny Alternative Using Spec-First AI Development. Here's the Methodology.

OpenCan v2.0.0 is out — an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Canny. AGPL-3.0, deploys with a single Docker Compose file. This post covers what it does, the stack, and — what I think is the more interesting part — the development methodology I used to build it: spec-first, AI-assisted, with mandatory review passes before anything shipped.

I wanted something more boring but useful: direct static QR codes, CSV batch generation, clear previews, and export files that are ready for labels, badges, packaging, or menus. QRForge currently supports: Static URL QR generation withou

The TypeScript `satisfies` Operator in 2026: Patterns You're Probably Missing

The TypeScript satisfies Operator in 2026: Patterns You're Probably Missing Most TypeScript codebases still treat satisfies as syntactic sugar for type annotations. The distinction between satisfies and type annotations appears subtle at first—both ensure type safety, both catch errors at compile time. The failure mode here is subtle but expensive: teams lose literal type inference, widen discriminated unions unintentionally, and write defensive runtime checks that TypeScript could have prevente
