The shift toward modular, portable OS stacks like Genode and Moss highlights the move from bloated kernels to lean, secure systems. Portability across x86, ARM, RISC-V, and safety through isolation and verification tools are key. Embrace modularity, use Rust for safety, and prioritize compatibility for long-term software maintenance.

Voiden.md is yet another API client, like Postman. Key aspects: it is offline, uses Markdown for API documentation, uses Git to track all changes.

Change tracking is a nice feature. But been offline (no sync) is not suitable for team collaboration. But it is still good for indie developer.
