currently working on the
hardest part of my startup — the GitHub parser.
it efficiently reads a repo, extracts folders + markdown files, grabs frontmatter, and builds a clean tree structure from it.
recursive, tricky, but powerful.

Throwback to when I was learning to code—I built a text-to-speech tool with the Web TTS API. Just React, no frameworks, and AI was still new.
Wonder how it’d turn out now with AI and a framework. Drop your throwback projects below! ⬇️

After 2 months, I'm launching my first startup—a GitHub-integrated doc generator. I hope it's useful for developers writing docs manually for codebases & APIs. Launching Feb 20, 2025. #buildInPublic

Not a designer, but I think this is coming together nicely! 🚀 Working on an AI-powered documentation tool—excited to see it take shape.

Spent 5 hours building a complex form validation system in React Native from scratch... only to discover that react-hook-form works perfectly with React Native. 😭 Lesson learned!

I'm building an AI product and struggling with pricing. Per-token fees and fluctuating costs make it hard to offer a simple, transparent pricing model while covering expenses. How have others tackled this challenge when pricing AI-powered products?
