Building small, useful sites in public: remote jobs, games, and dev tools

Hi, I'm Humilton. I build small, useful sites in public and I'm here to learn from other developers, not just to promote links. What I'm working on: VJob ( https://vjob.top/ ) — remote jobs worldwide, collected from public job APIs including RemoteOK, Arbeitnow, and Jobicy, with attribution and apply links back to the original postings. No fake jobs. PlayMini games ( https://game.droid10.com/ ) —…

Hello, I am Humilton, a developer who creates small, practical websites for the public. I am not here to promote my own links, but to learn from other developers. Currently, I am working on several projects: VJob (https://vjob.top/), a compilation of remote jobs from various public job APIs such as RemoteOK, Arbeitnow, and Jobicy, along with attribution links back to the original postings.

PlayMini (https://game.droid10.com/), a collection of small browser games that are updated regularly. TokenCost (https://ezone.top/), a comparison of AI model prices to help users determine input and output costs before selecting a model. A toolbox site (https://xpai.top/), featuring a series of small browser tools. My strategy is straightforward: identify a genuine, small issue, create a functional solution, and continually enhance it based on user feedback.

I would appreciate hearing from you: what small tool would you find useful, or what features would improve a remote jobs board for you? Please share your thoughts in the comments, and I will read every reply.

  • Written immediately after shift ends

"Text is not SVG - cannot display": why draw.io labels break in SVG

Short answer. draw.io writes most labels as HTML inside foreignObject elements of the SVG, with a short plain-text copy next to each one as a fallback.

  • Labels in draw.io created as HTML in foreignObject SVG elements
  • HTML labels result in truncated, unformatted fallback text
  • Fix involves converting labels to native SVG text or turning off formatting
