Hello World
First entry; setting up the weekly log, shipping the section, and figuring out what this format even is.
The cover was taken from a friend's wallpaper, it just seemed very very pretty and I felt an immediate urge to add it to my list to travel to.
This is the first entry of the weekly log. Not a blog post, not a writeup, not a tutorial. Just a record of the week: what I built, what broke, what I ate, what I noticed. A photo, a few paragraphs, maybe a link or two.
What I shippedCopied!
Built the /weekly section on the site from scratch. Cover photo grid on the index, individual entry pages with prev/next navigation, and admin support so I can write and publish directly without touching files manually. It took longer than expected to get the grid proportions right; 4:3 crop, consistent card height, the hover scale just subtle enough to feel alive without being annoying.
Also wired it into the navbar, sitemap, and the existing admin dashboard.
Made some small fun projects like:
- antaran - अंतरण - knows what your dev folder is hiding
- resume - made the ATS score go to 96
- reverse engineered Comnyang - a cute cat on your desktop and made it work on Linux, the original version only works on Windows and MacOS, because the whole thing was built in Electron, and also had a license key system, but It was very easy to bypass, just setting some value from
falsetotrue, thats it.
What I've been readingCopied!
I've been reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, I've already watched the movie, but I'm loving the book even more than the movie. Exploring some new tech, like Rust, Zig and a few more things.

Slept a lot more this week, started going out a bit more, also started posting a bit more on X/Twitter, and posts are going good with help of my friend (his twitter).
