  • writedown

    ✏ writedown - Free and Open Source Markdown Diary. Public Blogs and Private Notes.

  • I'm building projects to learn new stacks and architectures.

    Currently working on Writedown: https://writedown.app - https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown

    I wanted to create a note writing app that supports markdown and has sharing capabilities. I usually use a Telegram private channel for saving stuff and writing notes, but Telegram doesn't really support Markdown so I thought it would be a good idea to create something like that.

    Writedown is currently a WIP and I'm building in public (doing nothing special, just the repo is public haha)

  • MyJekyllBlog

    This is a multi-user CMS and hosting platform for Jekyll blogs.

  • I’ve been working on building a web hosting platform.

    https://github.com/symkat/MyJekyllBlog - It’s centered around hosting Jekyll blogs. It supports having paid user accounts (Stripe), building sites (uses podman containers), deploying built sites to web servers, obtaining SSL certificates for the sites it hosts.

    It’s been really fun to work on.

  • hnterminal

    terminal client for browsing hacker news

  • Wouldn't say I got a lot better by writing small and medium sized personal hobby project, but it most definitely did get me confidence and satisfaction.

    A cellular automata runner where you can define the rules and watch what happens: https://aperocky.com/cellular-automata/

    Browse THIS website in terminal: https://github.com/Aperocky/hnterminal

    A random simulation of prehistoric civilization and market: https://prehistoric.tech/

    Every few months I get a bubbly idea and start some fun project, and they are usually small enough I get to finish them in a week or so, package them either on the web or pip/npm. It feels like a boost to occasionally boring work otherwise.
