Trending Tools
Grok is exceptionally good; give it a try
https://grok.com/
Grok is amazing—DeepSearch is comfortable, fast, and smart. As a Tesla shareholder, I’m very pleased. Highly recommended for analyzing investment logic. If you need a desktop client, try the Pake-packaged version.
VisActor: Beautiful open-source visualization components
https://visactor.io/
I’ve been looking for beautiful open-source visualization components and found VisActor by ByteDance. It feels fresher than other libraries I’ve seen, and the components are very comprehensive.
NocoDB: Open-source Airtable alternative
https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
I’ve been following NocoDB for two years; they’ve released over 160 versions—quite impressive. Given the combination of spreadsheets and DeepSeek, I think this data organization method is superior to many other forms.
Glance: Open-source self-hosted dashboard
https://github.com/glanceapp/glance
Glance is an interesting open-source self-hosted dashboard. It’s visually appealing and lets you view all your info sources—RSS, Hacker News, weather, YouTube, stock prices, Docker status—in one place. Like an all-in-one data system.
Beszel: Open-source lightweight server monitoring platform
https://beszel.dev/zh/
Beszel is an open-source lightweight server monitoring tool with Docker stats, historical data, and alerts. The interface is friendly and comfortable—worth studying for its product interaction.
Lightweight Charts by TradingView
https://www.tradingview.com/lightweight-charts/
An open-source visualization tool perfect for financial data. Based on HTML5 Canvas, it’s very lightweight and comfortable to use.
Just Looking Around
Checked out popular Fujifilm cameras in a store
Looked at the X100VI—so beautiful and perfect for street photography, but out of stock everywhere and impossible to buy even with a markup. It’s practically digital gold; buy it now and you could make a profit in 3 years. The XT5 is also beautiful but heavy; the XT50 is a good middle ground despite being less attractive.
