When 1.0: Natural Language Date/Time Parser — We first linked to this project over six years ago(!) so it’s great to see it hit v1.0. The idea is simple: given a string like “tonight at 11:10 pm” or “next wednesday at 4:20 a.m”, you get the time object you need. Includes rules for English, Portuguese, and Russian.

Template Based, Dynamic Image Batch Generation Tool — It’s not the tool itself that’s the most interesting thing here (though if you need to generate images en masse from templates and CSVs, you might disagree) but that it’s an example of a Wails-based desktop app using Svelte for the UI and Go for the heavy lifting.
