A global factory context that wires up your logger, databases, Redis, and whatever else you need, all with W3C trace contexts baked in from the start. Traces get collected and shipped off to App Insights or Jaeger without you having to think about it.

An HTTP client builder for Go that lets you construct requests in a chainable, readable way instead of wrestling with the standard library every time you need to set a header or serialize a body.

A thin wrapper around Go's database/sql that adds middleware support — think interceptors, logging, tracing — without pulling in a full ORM and all the opinions that come with it.

Define the env configuration you want for your app and cafe will load it for you with support for defaults, overrides, and environment variables.

Reactive event streams for Go, heavily inspired by RxJS. Subscribe, map, filter, and compose async data flows without the callback soup.

A queryable SDK around Elasticsearch that gets rid of the boilerplate JSON queries you have to write every single time. Just describe what you want and let it handle the DSL.

Spins up dockerized instances of Postgres, Redis, or RabbitMQ for your Go tests and tears them down when you're done. No more mocks for things that shouldn't be mocked.

Ternary expressions for Go. Because it looks prettier than writing a four-line if-else statement

Share your clipboard across devices over the network. Copy on one machine, paste on another

A Redis server implementation written in Rust. Started as a deep dive into how Redis actually works under the hood and ended up as a fairly capable implementation of the protocol.

Pipe your app's output through cloggo and it'll color-code INFO, WARN, and ERROR lines so you can actually spot what's wrong at a glance instead of squinting at a wall of text.

A rust CLI tool for batch image compression

Watch a Twitch chat stream directly in your terminal made it for fun

Rust's Result and Option types ported to TypeScript genuinely a cleaner control flow for handling errors.

A collection of frontend starter templates for most fe apps i use

Spotify's shuffle has always been broken it's not actually random, this does it for u

A Neovim plugin that calls your local Ollama LLM to create a copilot like text completion limited to purely adding logs, no logic is being suggested bc i want my app to work

An SSH-accessible TUI version of my portfolio try it out at ssh.karim-w.com

An OAuth 2.0 auth server built with Gin-Gonic, handling service-to-service authentication via the client credentials flow

My personal standard library for Go projects — logger, DB connection pool, HTTP client, Redis and in-memory cache, all with Azure App Insights tracing wired in.

Replaces the Spotify desktop app with a full-screen view showing the album art and a background that shifts to match the dominant color of whatever's playing. Built it for fun really

A CLI tool for managing and viewing secrets in a Kubernetes cluster using the official Kubernetes Go client API.

A SwiftUI macOS app for tracking daily prayers. Also an excuse to try Swift 5.5's async/await and state actors before they were everywhere.

A Set data type for Go modelled after JavaScript's native Set

Built during COVID, a system that uses YOLOv3 to detect people in a space and flags when they're closer than 1.5 meters. Ran on a Jetson Nano at the edge and sent real-time push notifications to whoever was managing the space.

Optional values for Go modelled after Rust's Option enum, with nullable SQL scan support and undefined-aware JSON handling.

A centralized site for all the small utilities I reach for constantly during development — converters, formatters, encoders, the usual suspects.
