I build software, experiment with AI, and write about what I learn along the way, projects, dev rabbit holes, and whatever I’m currently obsessing over.
OTPilot v1.0.0: Cloud sync, devices, and a proper home
OTPilot started as a personal itch: auto-fill TOTP codes on login pages without touching the phone. It’s still that. But v1.0.0 adds the one feature a local extension can’t do alone: your accounts follow you everywhere. Cloud sync - encrypted, zero-knowledge The big one. Accounts are encrypted on your device before they leave it. The server stores a blob it can't read. Only you hold the key. A recovery key is generated on first setup; lose your password and that key is the only way back in. Sync is not a background afterthought. It’s merge-aware: if two browsers edited the same account simultaneously, both versions survive and one is marked (conflict) so you can decide. If you deleted an account on one device, it propagates to the rest. No ghost accounts reappearing on the next open. Each account carries a timestamp; when edits happen sequentially, the newest version wins cleanly. ...
OTPilot v0.0.4 and v0.0.5: Accounts grew up, and it shows
When I launched OTPilot a few days ago, the promise was simple: a Chrome extension that auto-fills TOTP codes on login pages — no phone, no copy-paste. It worked. But it felt like a v0.0.1. After few packed releases, OTPilot is starting to feel like a finished product. v0.0.4 and v0.0.5 aren’t minor updates — they’re the kind of changes that turn a functional tool into something you actually enjoy using. ...
OTPilot update: you no longer need to know what a "TOTP secret" is
When I first shipped OTPilot, the setup required you to paste in your base32 TOTP secret manually. That’s fine if you’re a developer, but it’s a dealbreaker for everyone else. So I went back and rethought the onboarding from scratch — and the result changes what OTPilot actually is. The big new thing: automatic account detection When you enable 2FA on any site, that site generates a secret and usually shows you a QR code. Hidden in that QR code is a standard URI that looks like otpauth://totp/GitHub?secret=.... OTPilot now scans the page for that URI automatically — no QR scanning, no copy-pasting — and shows a floating card: “Save GitHub to OTPilot?” One click, done. ...
OTPilot: The 2FA extension I built because I was tired of copy-pasting
If you work in dev or QA, you probably know the pain: you’re in the middle of a flow, you hit a 2FA screen, you grab your phone, open the authenticator app, squint at the 6-digit code that’s about to expire, type it in, and then repeat the whole thing 10 times a day. I got tired of it, so I built OTPilot. What it does OTPilot is a Chrome extension that auto-fills TOTP codes (the kind Google Authenticator generates) directly into the login page, eliminating the need for a phone. You configure which URLs it should watch, and it handles the rest: detects the field, fills the code, submits the form. ...
Corrector ortográfico para Vim
Los que me conocen o trabajaron conmigo saben que me gusta mucho la consola, ya que me resulta más cómodo y rápido para trabajar. Y además uso Vim para programar. Cuando empecé a probar Nikola para el blog, me gustó la idea de poder escribir los posts en Vim, pero me resultaba tedioso revisar si me faltaba algún acento o si se me escapaba alguna falta de ortografía. Así fue como llegué a esta funcionalidad de Vim. ...
