Did some cool stuff last month! Contributed 4 PRs for Hacktoberfest, joined 2 hackathons, built a fact-checking browser extension - Verisum (github.com/Iweisc/verisum) with my buddy, and a fun Devvit game (reddit.com/r/tugofworld). Learned a lot! How was your October?

yeah, took a break for two days :'). Anyways, deployed the app but there are still some performance issues, I tried to fix that today. And for some reason the god damn voice chat still doesn't work. Let's hope I'm able to fix it tomorrow.

Voice chat broke so I'm fixing that today 😭. Hoping to get it back up by tomorrow.
On the bright side, I got selected as a mentor in my college’s Google Developers Club, exciting stuff.
Also waiting to register for Hacktoberfest once they fix the 404

Added Voice Chat today! Basic functionality is set up, but I gotta refine the UI a bit. This would allow better real time collaboration. Live demo coming pretty soon, stay tuned!

Day 3: Added simple invite URL + Room ID flow for joining whiteboard sessions. Removed need to sign in to make it frictionless.
Tommorow: I'll add audio calling (thinking of skipping video since it doesn’t fit the app’s use-case, will decide later).
#buildinpublic #100DaysOfCode
also yes this is not very responsive 😅. Gonna fix this tomorrow
Day 2: Added some real time stuff using websockets to my real time whiteboard + video conferencing app I'm building. Also used redis for session storage. Along with that, added keyboard shortcut to tools, and fixed some bugs in the whiteboard. Very productive day.

Day 1: I'm making a collaborative whiteboard + video conferencing website, and today I designed a basic whiteboard (using konvas), planning on improving it tomorrow as some of the functionality is still clunky, but today was productive for sure!
#100daysofcode #buildinpublic
Ok gonna start work on a cool project: basically a video conferencing app with a real time whiteboard. You can create rooms, let people join, and work together on collaborative whiteboard similar to excalidraw. Updates coming!

Word of advice to anyone starting to learn how to code: stop trying to “master” a language. Apply the Pareto Principle: learn the 20% that gives 80% results. Don’t waste time memorizing everything, you’ll use only the essentials most of the time. Google is there for the rest.

Okay, something needs to be done for this. Be cautious with "take-home assignments." Many companies exploit students’ desperation to get free work. If the task feels like a full project rather than a fair test, it’s a red flag. Don’t let them exploit you in the name of selection.
Got the 50 day badge on leetcode :D

Currently building an AI powered note taking app, that makes in depth technical notes for YouTube videos, Documents, PDFs, Web articles, etc. Has much better file tree than notion imo, and its very customizable. Its in the final stages, so I'll keep you all updated on the progress.
Humans will replace 90% of AI programmers in the next 6 months

#TechHumor
I keep dreaming up project ideas, even at night lmao. I want to build something unique, not another CRUD app. Thinking of a collaborative markdown editor with git-like version control to learn websockets + redis, but stuck in decision paralysis. Got any cool project ideas? Maybe I should just build.
Why do devs ignore user experience? Stop hiding navbars on desktop, adding useless welcome pages, flashy button animations, gimmick cursors, and scroll hijacking. I came to use your site, not fight it.
#webdev #ux
Open source powers almost everything we use today, and even the biggest tech companies rely on it.
It’s one of the most welcoming communities I’ve joined, teaching the true spirit of development: building to help people.
So pick a project you love, and start contributing, keep this ecosystem alive!
