This installment of Web Excursions owes a lot to Christina Warren’s GitHub stars. If you track GitHub stuff at all, you should definitely be following her.

CMA Forms – Privacy-First Form Builder

Build stylish, multi-step forms with exportable responses and no tracking. 100% free.

steipete/macos-automator-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocal) server to run AppleScript and JXA (JavaScript for Automation) on macOS. It’s a pretty intense project for this kind of thing, but if you want remote scripting capabilities on your Mac and have a little bit of Node.js experience, this should fit the bill nicely.

livingbio/typed-ffmpeg

FFmpeg is a beast of a tool with more filters than anyone could keep track of. This project provides Python FFmpeg wrappers with typing and docs, and there’s a very cool online playground that can parse FFmpeg commands into a node-based visual editor, and vice versa.

kepano/defuddle: Extract the main content from web pages.

A TypeScript app to extract the main content from web pages. Not what I need for something like Marky the Markdownfier, but seems accurate and might be great for your next web scraping project.

bolt.new

I actually haven’t tried this out yet, but my friends are all talking about it. For the vibe coders out there…

WS4000 Simulator

Windows only, but pretty cool. Bring back that 1990s Weather Channel look for your weather forecast.

There’s a web-based version of this idea here, with a public GitHub repo.
