Today I dropped into the GitHub Open Source Friday event — super chill vibe, lots of curious minds, and great convos. Here’s what stood out from my short but insightful session:

🚀 MVC Server Setup with VS Code

One contributor demoed how they structure and run MVC-based servers locally with VS Code. A few notes:

  • Clean folder structuring: models/, controllers/, views/
  • Quick Dev server with live-server or nodemon
  • Debugging + launch config in .vscode/launch.json – very handy

I’m planning to replicate this structure for a simple LLM-backed agent UI next week.

📘 AstroDocs – Beautiful Documentation Engine

There was a cool question in the chat:
“What are some modern tools for docs besides Docusaurus?”
Someone recommended AstroDocs, and damn—it’s elegant.

  • Markdown-first with components
  • SEO-optimized and fast
  • Supports custom themes and easily extensible

I’ll try spinning up a docs page using Astro this weekend.

🧠 Bonus Find: Browsers for Agents

Unrelated but relevant: I saw this great post on Daily Dose of Data Science
🧵 How to connect browsers for agent workflows
Link: https://www.datadose.ai/browser-agents ← Worth a read.

  • They demo agent browsing using a wrapper with Playwright
  • Covers user-agent spoofing, sandboxed browsing, and auth-handling
  • Super useful for building retrieval-augmented or agentic search systems

Overall: quick hour, solid leads, and I left with ideas to explore over the weekend.
Goal: Try setting up AstroDocs + publish my own demo agent with browser integration this week. Let’s go! 🚀
