Housekeeping

This weekend is all about housekeeping. The reason: PureBasic v6.4 was released two weeks ago.1 So I spent the morning updating my open source projects built on it. No new features, just recompiling and testing.

I also took the opportunity to bring the documentation up to date. The way you would expect from a well-maintained Git repository, including my offer of professional business support for real added value.

Updated projects at a glance:

  • QR Code Detection
    A QR/barcode scanner for standard webcams or RTSP streams. It provides a virtual keyboard and essentially replaces dedicated hardware, while offering significantly more flexibility.2

  • REST API Skeleton
    A production-ready REST API server in PureBasic for GNU/Linux and Windows. Tested on Debian (stable and sid) and Windows Server 2019. This base setup supports cross-platform builds on both systems.3

  • DWD Aviation Planner
    A lightweight, self-hosted web application for visualizing ICON-D2 forecast data from the German Weather Service (DWD) on an interactive map, designed for VFR sport and general aviation pilots.4

A full overview of my projects is available on my Codeberg profile page.5

Have a sunny weekend!
