Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Wolfe James, a format designer with 30 years of
experience - from Commodore Amiga's .iff format in the 90s
to creating 3D simulation formats for the Carpet Industry
(still in daily use!).

Recently got into AI development and immediately saw a
problem: AI assistants forget project context between
sessions. So I did what format designers do - created .faf
(Foundational AI-context Format).

Just got word from IANA today that it's officially
registered as application/vnd.faf+yaml - sits alongside
PDF, JSON, XML as an internet standard. Pretty exciting
moment after 3 months of building!

Looking forward to connecting with this community and
learning from all of you. I'll be sharing more about the
journey from desktop frustration to IANA registration soon.

Cheers! 🏎️⚡

Hi, Wolfe. I remember the Amiga - I was connected to AmigaWorld magazine and played with the Amiga. I was interested in the early text to voice work then. I built a few very simple websites in the 90s. it's nice to see that the continuity is still solid.

Yeah man, I loved the Amiga, windows before windows, multi-tasking before Windows-NT, and don't even get me started on the .IFF!!!

Hey everybody
I'm Edris Ranjbar — aka EdiCodes 👋
I'm a back-end web developer, teacher, and builder who loves creating meaningful software and exploring how technology can serve people better. Currently working on web, SaaS, and other projects with focus on Laravel, Django REST, and Flutter — and leading itadbeer, my software development team.

recenlty published an open source project Called Coolping which is a command line tool for Linux fans. It provides emoji-based feedback, colorized output, continuous monitoring, speed testing, and convenient logging, making network diagnostics more fun and informative.

📦 Features
Core Features
Emoji Feedback: Instantly see success ✅ or failure ❌ for each ping.
Color Output: Colorful terminal output for easy reading (can be disabled with --color never).
Custom Packet Count: Specify the number of pings with --count N.
Logging: Optional logging to ~/coolping.log with --log flag.
No-Emoji Mode: Compatible with legacy terminals using --no-emoji.

Try it out

Hi devs,
I've been looking for this kind active community, Finally found it.

Looking to connect with other builders, learn from experienced devs, and maybe share some of the mistakes I'm making along the way so others can avoid them.

Currently working on a LinkedIn comment automation tool using React, Node.js, MongoDB, and Gemini API. It's been a wild ride of late-night debugging and "why isn't this working?!" moments 😅

What I'm learning:

  • Full-stack development (React + Node.js)
  • AI integration (Gemini API)
  • Payment processing (Razorpay)
  • The hard parts of turning ideas into actual products

If you're into SaaS, AI automation, or just building cool stuff in college, let's connect! Always happy to chat or help with React/Node questions.
