Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

goshs

Simple web server.

What we like

Supports multiple protocols as well as HTTP, including SMB, DNS, WebDAV, SMTP. Includes file-based ACLs so you can use it to set up file sharing. SSL handled through Let’s Encrypt or providing your own keys. Can embed static files. Written in Go so can be shipped as a single binary.

What we don't like

The non-HTTP servers are mainly designed for pentesting and CTFs rather than fully functional server replacements. This includes a reverse shell generator. This is an odd digression for a web server, but you’ll probably just use Caddy if you want a pure Go web server.

Quarkdown

Markdown meets LaTeX.

What we like

Use Markdown to write typeset reports, docs, static websites, slides. Includes live preview with fast compilation so you can avoid LaTeX dependencies. Has enhancements like figures, formulae, code, bibliography. Include data from files and manipulate it with variables and scripting.

What we don't like

Academic writing in LaTeX (or equivalent) is the dream, but most work really just happens in Word or Google Docs, especially if you’re collaborating with multiple authors!
