hkbus.app - Free and Ad-free bus app costing HKD 1000 per year to support ~40k daily users
hkbus.app is a web application utilizes the public transport ETA data from data.gov.hk. The proposal will covers the software stack for achieving extremely low cost to support several thousands and even more users. Then, I will present the outcome and status of marketing, mainly via SEO and social media. In the third part, I will jump into the discussion on contribution by other users and the community status in Telegram, currently with ~1300 users and 7 admins.

WebAssembly (Wasm) has found its way outside the browser and has been widely adopted on the server side as in browsers with the development of WebAssembly System Interface (WASI).
API gateways support plugins compiled to Wasm from languages like Rust and Go, which extends the capability of their underlying proxies like Nginx or Envoy.
But how do these API gateways support these Wasm plugins? Do they have limitations? What will they look like in the future? In this “under the hood” talk, I will attempt to answer these questions and more.

XDA underwent a couple of major migrations during 2021-2022 that changed how the website and forums behaved. Among these major migrations, the old official client app namely "XDA" and "XDA Labs" was deprecated and a new webview-based app was released (also deprecated after one year). The API documentation was also removed with it.
This talk aims to share how a new unofficial client "ReLabs" was developed after reverse-engineering the new official client app (deprecated). ReLabs is built with the new Jetpack Compose, the old view system, and the Figma with Relay plugin. It also has working push notifications using Firebase and is completely open-source, unlike the official client.

In this sharing sessions, I will talk about the development and usage of Zoraxy, one of my open source projects that I am using as an NPM (nginx proxy manager) replacement. Zoraxy provide an easy to use & fast to deploy reverse proxy server for networking noobs with tons of handful utilities to help manage your homelab. I will share a bit on how the features in Zoraxy can help you build a geologically distributed web services, proxying request across nodes using ZeroTier UI in Zoraxy as well as some basic ideas of subdomain & TLS SNI.
