[OC] Yet another terminal animation tool - GoTermFX

I wanted to create a tool to easily run animations/sequences in the terminal, either for fun or for automations.

I built it in Go and designed it to be easily expandable, so more animations (complex or simple) can be added effortlessly.

Current Animations (8 total):

  • Matrix: Kinda a must.
  • WikiDecrypt: Inspired by the movie Sneakers and no-more-secrets. It grabs a random article from Wikipedia and runs a decryption animation.
  • WarGhost: Inspired by the movie WarGames.
  • Rain
  • Snow
  • Fireworks
  • Starfield
  • Hyperspace

I would love some feedback and possible contributions for more fun animations

I built a web tool to search for terms in multiple PDFs to solve my own issue and learn how to launch a product

Hey everyone,

I recently ran into a problem where I needed to search for a specific list of words across a bunch of different PDFs at once. I couldn't find a simple way to do it, so I built a tool to solve it for myself.

Then I figured—why not try to turn this into an actual "end product" to help others and finally learn how to build something for the public? I’ve never handled the commercial side of a project before, so I created PDFSleuth.com to figure it all out.

What it does: It’s a web-based tool where you drop in multiple PDFs and search them all simultaneously. It shows you exactly which pages the results are on and gives you a small excerpt of the text before and after the keyword so you have context.

The Tech & Privacy: Privacy: I’m big on this, so uploaded files are deleted immediately after processing. If a user has a subscription, only the text excerpts are saved so they can view their search history later.

Analytics: This was my first time using Simple Analytics instead of Google Analytics to keep things more privacy-friendly.

Stack: The frontend is Nuxt, the backend is Python, and payments are handled through Lemon Squeezy.

My main goal was to learn and maybe see the first subscription notification.I wanted to make sure about registration flows, email activation, and managing free vs. paid tiers. It’s definitely a work in progress and might not be the next viral thing espicially with all the products being launched with AI boom, but it’s helped me polish my skills and its one more project kinda done and not just WIP on my computer.

I’d love some feedback if possible and of course I am happy to answer any questions about the stack or the process!
