Papa Parse (via) I’ve been trying out this JavaScript library for parsing CSV and TSV data today and I’m very impressed. It’s extremely fast, has all of the advanced features I want (streaming support, optional web workers, automatically detecting delimiters and column types), has zero dependencies and weighs just 19KB minified—6.8KB gzipped.
The project is 11 years old now. It was created by Matt Holt, who later went on to create the Caddy web server. Today it’s maintained by Sergi Almacellas Abellana.
Caddy: Config Adapters (via) The Caddy web application server is configured using JSON, but their “config adapters” plugin mechanism allows you to write configuration files in YAML, TOML, JSON5 (JSON with comments), and even nginx format which then gets automatically converted to JSON for you.
Caddy author Matt Holt: “We put an end to the config format wars in Caddy by letting you use any format you want!”

The Asymmetry of Open Source (via) Caddy creator Matt Holt provides “a comprehensive guide to funding open source software projects”. This is really useful—it describes a whole range of funding models that have been demonstrated to work, including sponsorship, consulting, private support channels and more.
