I build things for the web and often find myself asking, “does this really need to be so complicated?”

things i'm building

effective-rsc

What if Effect handled the runtime behind RSC?

Both clicked for me, so I wanted to see how they'd fit together. Still an experiment.

Tether

What if a call felt like sharing a room?

A little room for two people. You share a link, they knock, you let them in. Video, audio and chat go directly between your devices. No accounts.

things i've written

all writing

things i ran into

These started as bugs I hit while building something. Some I fixed with a small PR. For the others, I put together a repro and opened an issue.

a little about me

I studied electronics, discovered C in my first semester, and spent lockdown learning Python on an old laptop. Somehow I ended up a React nerd. There's a longer version.

I'm based in India and work at CodeCraft.
