Becoming a tech lead was the goal from pretty early in my career. I had a clear picture of what the role was. More responsibility, more influence over the work, more of the interesting problems landing on my desk because someone had to figure them out and that someone, finally, would be me. It read like the natural next step. The thing you graduate to once you're good enough. What that picture did
Hey Dev Community, Like many of you, I hit a wall with GA4. It’s powerful, sure—but it’s also cluttered, slow, and often feels like it was designed for a data scientist rather than a developer or a brand owner who just needs to see what’s working. I wanted something different. I wanted a platform that felt like a developer tool: minimalist, tech-oriented, and focused on actual insight rather than
If you’ve ever worked with APIs or JSON data, you know how messy it can get. Most tools out there have problems: Too many ads ❌ So I built my own. 🔧 What I Built I created a JSON Formatter Tool that lets you: ✅ Format JSON instantly 👉 Try it here: https://www.astonishbuddy.com/tools/json-formatter ⚡ Why I Built This While working with APIs, I constantly needed to: Debug JSON responses Format mes
I use AI coding agents every day. I believe they are reshaping how we build software, and I think the teams that adopt them deliberately will outperform those that don't. I am not writing this to warn you away from AI-assisted development. I am writing this because the loudest voices in the AI enthusiasm camp are also the most allergic to discussing what can go wrong. And that worries me more than
🚀 The Idea We live in a world where everything is tracked—profiles, likes, identities. But one thing I kept noticing: That’s why I built WhisprrChat — a platform where you can talk freely without revealing who you are. 💡 What is WhisprrChat? WhisprrChat is a simple anonymous chat platform where you can: 💬 Chat with strangers 👉 Try it here: https://whisprrchat.com 🔥 Why Anonymous Apps Still Wo
I didn’t go into the MeDo hackathon with some big, polished idea. I just wanted to build something I’d actually use. So I made Exam AI. The problem is simple: studying for exams is chaotic. You read notes, search things, forget half of it, and then try to cram everything at the end. I wanted something that helps you actively think, not just passively read. You give Exam AI a topic — anything you’r
Most websites want you to stay. Scroll more. I built one that hopes you leave quickly. It is called WheelPage: https://wheelpage.com/ It is a small browser tool for tiny decisions. Spin a wheel. That is the whole idea. No account. Just a small page for moments like: What should we pick? These are not important decisions. But they still take a little attention. A few seconds of hesitation. I wanted
I have been building web apps for 12 years. In that time I never wrote a single line of mobile code. Not Swift, not Kotlin, not even a basic React Native hello world. That changed last month because of my wife. She has been using Synapse, the AI companion I built for her, every day from her phone browser. If you are new here, Synapse is a personal AI that uses a temporal knowledge graph instead of
