April Fools Challenge is live!!1 What's the most useless thing you can build? Captcha that feels trigonometry?📐 A vertical scroll bar that moves horizontally?↕️ Show us how weird you can get and you could be one of five winners of a tea pot (really). dev.to/devteam/join-o…

Every token that arrives triggers a full layout reflow in the DOM. At 50 tokens/second, that's dropped frames and a jittery scrollbar. This dev built ZeroJitter — a React library that renders streaming text to canvas via a Web Worker, with zero reflows and full accessibility support. { author: JAI } dev.to/jvoltci/zeroji…

A backend team used AI to convert a Python class to JavaScript — and it failed. Not because the translation was wrong, but because the AI didn't know how to handle a 5GB zip file in the browser without crashing it. This dev did, using IndexedDB as an async workaround. { author: @OlumideSamuel_ } dev.to/olumidesamuel_…

A look at what went into building a fully responsive CRT TV in pure CSS — including 3D lighting on a spinning cube, volume knobs that distort scanlines, and glass reflections made entirely from repeated dashed borders. { author: @ivorjetski } dev.to/ivorjetski/cod…

15 minutes before every meeting, this agent wakes up, scans your emails and Drive files for context, and delivers a briefing to Google Chat with a link to a full Google Doc. No Python scripts. Built entirely in natural language using Google Workspace Studio. { author: @aryanirani123 + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/google-wor…

Since HuggingFace dropped native JAX support, running those models on TPUs got complicated. TorchAX bridges PyTorch and JAX using a special tensor subclass — no model rewrites needed. This dev covers JIT compilation, text generation with StaticCache, and tensor parallelism. { author: Ahmed Elnaggar + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/run-any-hu…

Not every step in an AI workflow needs an LLM. This dev shows how using a custom BaseAgent instead of an LlmAgent for deterministic tasks cuts latency, eliminates token costs, and makes test results fully predictable. { author: Connie Leung + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/stop-wasti…

Can you build a performant, IO-heavy app without async Rust? This dev explores epoll directly, then rewrites the result using Mio — achieving single-threaded, non-blocking networking with time-based triggers and no busy waiting. { author: @Szymongib } dev.to/szymongib/asyn…

Google's Agent Development Kit used to visually define a multi-agent pipeline that generates comic book-style HTML. Tested locally, then deployed to AWS Fargate. This dev walks through the cross-cloud setup step by step. { author: xbill + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/cross-clou…

AI will make every architectural decision for you if you let it. Rate limiting, auth strategy, pagination — it'll just pick something. This dev walks through using plan mode to treat the AI's first output like a real design review, not a mandate. { author: Ava Barron } dev.to/abarron/vibe-w…

It started with building websites… then one thing kept blocking me: payments. That obstacle didn’t stop me; it changed my path in tech From freelance dev to technical writing, here’s how 👇🏻 Submitted for the 2026 WeCoded Challenge on @ThePracticalDev 💜 dev.to/hadil/how-a-pa…

After a few sleepless nights and constantly questioning my life decisions, I finally finished my new project: NoteRunway, built for the Notion MCP challenge on @ThePracticalDev NoteRunway helps you clean up and refine your workspace like it’s brand new. dev.to/georgekobaidze…

my article on building phntm.sh got featured on @ThePracticalDev this week. pretty wild for a build in public post about zero knowledge file transfer and a first Go project. if you missed it: dev.to/aliirz/i-built…

Maps Grounding gives Gemini spatial context. The Places API returns real ratings and reviews. Previously you couldn't combine them in a single call — now you can. This dev builds a LINE meetup helper that does both, and documents every pitfall hit along the way. { author: @Evan_Lin + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/gemini-too…

Low-code ADK agents built with the visual builder, verified locally, and deployed to AWS Fargate. This dev validates that cross-cloud development holds up even with more complex multi-agent setups. { author: xbill + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/cross-clou…

LINE voice messages are pre-recorded m4a files — not real-time streams. This dev explains why that distinction matters when choosing between Flash Live and the standard Gemini API, and how to wire voice transcription into an existing Orchestrator architecture. { author: @Evan_Lin + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/gemini-31-…

Every Monday standup: "What did you work on last week?" This dev built a 3-agent pipeline that automatically harvests GitHub activity via GraphQL, narrates it with Gemini, and publishes to Notion + DEV.to as a draft. Submitted for the Notion MCP Challenge. { author: @0xcrackedDev } dev.to/yashksaini/i-b…

Timberborn added HTTP levers to its automation system — so this dev used ~1,000 of them as bits to encode JSON into binary, flip them via HTTP requests, and read the data back. The crazy thing? It works. { author: Pascal Thormeier } dev.to/thormeier/how-…

23,000 ancient Assyrian tablets survived. Half were untranslated. With only ~1,500 training pairs, this dev built a full-stack pipeline using Gemini vision OCR, ByT5, LoRA fine-tuning, and vLLM to tackle machine translation of Old Assyrian cuneiform. { author: Ertuğrul Demir + @GoogleDevExpert } dev.to/gde/decoding-b…

Midnight is live — the world's first fourth-generation blockchain. Built for programmable, enforceable on-chain privacy using zero-knowledge proofs, a hybrid ledger architecture, and Compact — a TypeScript-based DSL that abstracts away ZK cryptography so devs can focus on app logic. { author: @LoLoCoding + @DevsOfMidnight } @MidnightNtwrk dev.to/devsofmidnight…
