If only people spent as much time trying to make what people want as they do trying to make people want things they make.

My first iOS app - Frictionary, is live on the App Store
It’s an offline dictionary with one catch: there’s no search bar, you scroll to your word and trip over a dozen others on the way. Designed for getting lost in words, not just looking them up.

I've poured a lot of love into my coffee app – beanpresso.com. It hasn't taken off yet. Can a GTM expert or indie hacker tell me what I'm missing?

Recently faced an issue with my PS5 and realised how stressful repairs can be, especially when you don’t know if you’re being overcharged.
Built a concept that lets you see exactly what’s wrong and even fix it yourself.

every engineer on our team can own a feature completely. for a while, i thought we could hold off on hiring designers.
but as our product matures, i want us to question every interaction, catch every awkward detail, and refine things even after they work.
so we’re hiring 2 designers to work with our 3 engineers.
if good enough isn’t enough, you still need designers.
STATE OF THE TECH JOB MARKET IN 2026
Twice a year, I dig into trends in hiring and job openings. This is the fifth report I've done, and the most surprising yet:
1. PMs are winning in the AI era
2. Engineering demand has stalled
3. Design openings are at a record low
4. Every role now requires AI skills
5. Tech jobs are concentrating in the Bay Area
6. Remote roles are at a record low
7. The tech job market is growing fast, but mostly outside of software (gasp!)

Excited to announce I finally have a site with a collection of my favorite work! Designed to feel like an archive that I can hopefully continue to update :D

I think a better metaphor is cars vs trains:
Currently software has to be actively driven, thought about, you're honking at people.
Software should be like public transit. Multimodal, sometimes you bike cos it's faster but ultimately the goal is to get you there, not to drive

If you are anything like me you probably have 100s of chrome tabs open. All things you mean to read. No way to get through them, no way to close them without losing them.
So I built Pile. It's an extension that saves closed tabs into a reading list you can come back to.

Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app.
Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge.
So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record.
(The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)

Collection of beautiful electronic components with their teardown anatomy → breakboard.art
Built using ThreeJS, with real manufacturer drawings and CAD. The .html file works even offline on any WebGL 2 browsers.
This was made possible by combining 3 distinct skills and some custom refinements for accuracy (open sourced):
• /teardown by @jakubkrehel → Technical illustrations that explain physical objects and how their parts work together.
• /anatomy by @wheresryan22 → Detailed, interactive isometric illustrations of machines and complex systems.
• /teardown by @elvar_official → Guidance for exploded views and component-level technical illustrations.
Link to these skills are in the Github (link below)

Do any of my Hindi-speaking followers have experience with how to get LLMs to output "natural-speaking Hindi"? Any specific models to use? Any prompts to use? Also - looking for good natural Hindi-speaking models. The current models output awkward and "formal" (academic?) Hindi. Working on an app. Thank you!

Had so much fun designing & building this with @abhisheknaiidu and @bhatvitthal22 .
Really happy with how it turned out.

one day, you will ask, is it all worth it? and then given whole context of life, family, chasing success, money and what not... you should be able to say it was worth it. And if you want to say it was worth it, then maybe think through how to answer that questions 10 years later

Hello folks,
today im launching antidraw.
an opensource product design & prototyping canvas for your coding agents powered by real code.
all my creative outputs for the past few weeks where made in antidraw, including this launch video.
i'd love for you to try and give feedback for the alpha.

Through all of this, R's father was still with us.
He had helped us identify the hospital. He had stayed with my father. And he decided to remain until we completed the admission.
I didn't know how to thank him.
I kept saying the same two words.
"Thank you."
Again and again.
At one point, he said something I don't think I'll ever forget.
"My other son lives in Bangalore. If something happened to him there, I would also want someone to take care of him."
That was it. No expectation of anything in return.
Just a father imagining another father in the same situation. And deciding to help.
