Have you ever wished you could turn your local network into a smart routing system? Instead of remembering IP addresses and ports, what if you could use simple, memorable URLs that trigger workflows, redirect to services, or even search your notes? That’s exactly what dy.lan does. It’s a self-hosted URL router with a plugin architecture…

I’ve been using my na and doing command-line tools daily for years, but lately they’d started feeling sluggish. When na next was taking over a second to show me my next actions from a tiny 5KB file, I knew it was time to dig in and fix things. In case you’re unfamiliar, na is a…
