Projects
I maintain several side projects as a hobby.
This is a small selection of my side projects. Find more projects in the blog posts tagged with project and on my Github profile.
These are the most popular ones.
HTML2RSS
My RSS reader is my favorite place on the Internet. Every interesting
content from different websites appears in the same format. Well, theoretically.
The availability of RSS has declined while social networks became popular.
html2rss scrapes websites to build RSS feeds, without
reinventing the wheel for each and every website. With this tool I
can continue to fill my favorite place on the Internet with interesting content.
The html2rss project consists of three components:
-
html2rss: This ruby gem does the heavy lifting of scraping and feed building. -
html2rss-web: A web application which exposes the RSS feeds via HTTP. -
html2rss-configs: A repository containing feed configs.
The config and the web components follow a rolling
release pattern. The web repository automatically updates when
there are changes in the config
repository and publishes a new version.

jekyll-loading-lazy
A plugin for the Jekyll static site generator.
It automatically adds
loading="lazy"
to all image and iframe HTML tags.
The loading attribute advises browsers to load the resource eagerly or lazily.
You don't have to add JavaScript to your website anymore to lazily load images.
This plugin gives a quick performance gain on the client-side for every website generated by Jekyll. Read the introduction blog post.
