bear.css.observer takes any subdomain from subdomain.bearblog.dev and splits the screen into two panels. On the left is a live preview of the blog content. On the right is an editor where you can tweak the CSS in real-time. As you type, the changes are instantly applied to the preview panel on the left.
html.earth is a tiny site generator that converts Markdown input to HTML pages. It comes with a front matter editor, custom styling field, and import & export options. It previews content as you type. The tool also saves content directly in the browser (localStorage). It is useful for bloggers, technical writers, and those who prefer writing in Markdown format but need HTML for publishing.
Orma.zip is a personal project powered by Python (Telegram bot), MySQL (small db), and PHP (query and render). I set up a simple User ID checker so the bot only responds to me. I can send plain text or Markdown-formatted messages to the bot as status updates. The bot then saves the message content to my database. It also lets me add photos and edit or delete the entries via Telegram.
