TinyShare is a tiny, TypeScript-first helper that builds social sharing URLs and opens share windows. It’s a single-file, dependency-free, programmatic alternative to DOM-bound sharer libraries.
If you need to scroll to a specific View in a ScrollView, specified by a prop scrollToId to that page, do something like this:
I created an Instagram automation library in Javascript / Node.js using Puppeteer: https://github.com/mifi/instauto
homebridge-telldus is a plugin for homebridge which allows you to control cheap 433MHz devices like wireless light switches and dimmers from Apple's Home integration. This is done through Telldus Live, which provides a free service and API integration for people who bought their devices like TellStick Net and TellStick ZNet Lite. It provides a very cheap way to control your house with Siri and Apple Home.
I created a Node.js CLI for exporting users from AWS Cognito User Pools, because AWS did not have any method of exporting/backing up the users.
I had trouble finding a iCalendar parser that lets me get the actual events as shown in my google calendar. This means automatically handling EXDATE (excluded recursive occurrences), RRULE and recurring events overridden by RECURRENCE-ID. Also timezones need to be supported.
So I made a library that builds on ical.js.

I needed a tool for quickly trimming recorded videos, so I built my first Electron app, check it out: https://mifi.github.io/lossless-cut/
Download links: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases
It is a cross platform simple video editor for lossless trimming / cutting of videos using ffmpeg and Electron. Great for rough processing of large video files taken from a video camera, drone, etc. Lets you quickly get rid of the useless parts. It doesn't do any decoding / encoding and is therefore very fast and has no quality loss. Also allows for taking JPEG snapshots of the video at the selected time.
I created a Node.js CLI for exporting & importing schema and data from DynamoDB tables. I didn't find any other node tools for dumping table schema (structure, indexes etc), they all just dump data.
I have always wanted to make a custom digital picture/multimedia frame showing things like beautiful earth porn videos from YouTube. For this you need a computer, like a Raspberry PI and an LCD monitor. LCD monitors can be bought on ebay but they get a bit pricey if you want a bit of size (10"+), and you often need custom HDMI controllers for them. I had a couple of old EEEPCs lying around, and I figured an EEEPC would be a good fit. It has everything you need. Big slim LCD screen, slim motherboard, integrated WIFI and will boot off an SD card, and it's environmentally friendly to recycle old stuff.
I made an HTML/js script that plays a youtube playlist randomly in fullscreen with an embedded player. Running chromium under incognito solves some problems, like preventing some caching and preventing crash message when not closed properly. Safebrowring causes periodic download of large files, which we do not want. --kiosk causes fullscreen.
Rip apart EEE PC and extract mainboard + LCD (well obviously don't rip, but screw apart) Careful with WIFI antenna, LCD cable and flatcables connected to the motherboard Disconnect anything that is not needed. (camera, touchpad, keyboard, ++) Solder a couple of wires with a push-button onto the existing power button pins.
I built a wooden case for my frame which holds the motherboard towards the back wood plate with some screws, keeping the heatsink metal plate that sat behind the keyboard in the Eee. The screen is screwed into the front frame which is fastened to the wooden supports on the sides.
I left big gaps in top & bottom in order to get air circulation, because I have removed the fan so there will be no active cooling.
Installed Ubuntu 14.04 (x86) on an SD card (using a Live USB created by UNetbootin) During install add user admin, and ensure auto login is selected.
I set CPU to powersaving to keep the temp down, because I have no active cooling anymore. And disabled bluetooth (rfkill 1). Add the following to /etc/rc.local:
echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/state
su - admin -c 'cd /home/admin && nodejs . &> /dev/null &'
Ubuntu's default ondemand boot script overrides our setting. Disable it. Run as root:
update-rc.d ondemand disable
apt-get install openssh-server chromium-browser nodejs npm iptables-persistent
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
In /etc/fstab, append option noatime to root partition.
In /etc/default/apport, set enabled=0
Set power button action to shutdown (prevents showing a dialog.) Run as root:
sudo su - admin
DISPLAY=:0 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power shutdown
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false
