Math Magic
A web-based math entry system
MathLex lets you easily transform handwritten math formulas to digital format and use them on the web.
Traffic Rules
A simpler packet filter
Filter rules for firewalls can be tricky. As the successor to iptables, nftables simplifies the process of creating and maintaining firewall rules.
Automatic Update
Flatpak updates with systemd
You can automate Flatpak updates without a package manager using systemd's services and timers.
Traffic Monitor

Best Laid Plans
