My Blog

This is my reflection on a class I took in my second semester at ASU. It is probably the best class of my life.

I shipped a drop-in replacement of the in memory key-value store Redis, made in Golang

I shipped an open source app that transcripts a lecture live with an instant chatbot whom I can ask all my doubts to

I shipped an open source local-first AI powered note taking app with sematic search, cloud sync, offline support and other features.

We have still not moved on from create-react-app. Heres a comprehensive essay on why you should not use it.

I shipped a video processing app that runs locally on your browser using FFMPEG.wasm by shipping as a PWA. Isnt that cool!

AI solves all of our problems. I made a discord bot that solves some of mine.

I don't believe in Astrology. Here's an essay about all the reasons why it's bullshit.

Commit on save is a bad idea and doesn't make sense. all arguments for it are invalid.

How I set up my VSCode for maximum productivity and beauty

I shipped in 2023. 12 months, 12 products - thats quite a lot. but most importantly, most of them failed, but i learnt how to grow and market products

A story about how my Christmas was ruined by a series of spam, abuse and DDoS attacks on a small app that I built. And what you can learn from it.

Learn how to send free transactional emails with Cloudflare Workers, with minimal setup and a simple workers API.

After the advent of RSCs (React server components) and NextJS 14 with App router, we are in the middle of a huge paradigm shift in how code is written. Backend is no longer a necessity in modern web development.

A good path to take to learn programming concepts, languages, frameworks, and tools.

A collection of resources i used, to learn React, NextJS and tailwindcss. I'll only point out resources that are free, or you can get them for free.

Most beginners don't know how to ask for help regarding programming issues. This blog covers what not to do, and how to get help on the internet. If i send this to you, it's probably because you didn't ask for help properly.

On 28th April, I published this blog, challenging myself to grow a twitter bot account to 1000 followers in 100 days. Well, I HUGELY underestimated the possibilities. I managed to get to 750 (1000) followers in just 21 days!

This is my first post on Educative.io's "Edpresso"

I'm a very lazy person, and always procrastinate on the smallest of things - opening the image editor, and making a good blog banner would always be the "extra" thing I had to do every time I wrote something. So, I made a script that generates them for me in milliseconds!

In the world of algolia, Typesense and what not, I chose the simplest and fastest way. How I made the search feature for this blog

The poet this twitter bot i had earlier, had several issues, like being too expensive to host, and not being able to use reliably. It was time to change this.

When I got started with programming, everywhere I went, I saw (good), but paid services. I would see them and say to myself “I really want to buy that when I get the money... It will help a lot”... And then, I came to know about Github’s student developer pack. But.... I got rejected... 15 times....

SussyImage is a joke project because, you guessed it, I was bored. Inspired by reddit's r/place, I thought it would be cool if I could make a project that could use small images to imitate an image.

Create, open, manage your Python projects with ease.

A very common question for beginners is always, “Where to start” and “How are you a self-taught developer at 16 years old”. I got the same question for the third time a week, and all beginners go through this.

When thinking of APIs, most people think of REST apis (web APIs). Well, APIs are much more than that - In this blog, I’ll explain what exactly APIs are, and we’ll also make a REST API using FastAPI (Python) ⚡

I made loadless, which is a small framework that helps to create reactive pages without javascript

How to make your python scripts 1000 times faster with one line of code

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 100 FOLLOWERS. Its the most number of followers I have on ANY platform - 61 on twitter, 30 on Github

When I was starting out with docker, everything was really difficult for me to figure out. But dont worry. Im here 😉

Small python project that adds subtitles to videos

One of my friends informed me about this really cool feature that allows you to add autocomplete to Windows powershell in 2 easy steps

Yesterday, I came across a cute cat video on discord. Bored, I thought it would be really funny if I made this into a rickroll video and forward it to my friends 😂

I used to use blackmagic.so banner updater, but thats boring. So I made my own.

After I posted the create-python-app blog, a member of the dev community (@abhinav1217) suggested me to modularize it - so that people can write all sorts of templates and can do all sorts of stuff with it.

While browsing Github, I found this cool Rust library called lettre. Being a fan of CLI applications and productivity, I quickly made this rust script that lets you send emails, right from your terminal!

If you have to do the same thing more than 5 times, automate it.

I'm the type of person who keeps creating different repositories and small open-source projects. One major problem I was having was, making the README files would be so boring :(

My thoughts on Rust, learning Rust part 1

How I customized my terminal to look really good using Starship, Powershell and Nerd Fonts

Join me as I attempt to make a simple implementation of Conway's Game of Life in python.

While browsing through the news, I saw an interesting company trying to make "universal emoji username, website URL, payment address, and more".
