Hello. I originally joined to promote a VS Code extension of mine but after reading some of the posts have been drafting my coming back to coding journey.

Viktor Kuznetsov | VAC Memory System CEO

Hello everyone! My name is Viktor, and my life has been quite a journey. I’m originally from Russia but moved to South Korea at the age of 20 due to political issues. I worked there for four years as a laborer—construction, greenhouses, factories, I even dismantled mattresses. Later, I flew to Mexico, crossed the border into the U.S., and applied for asylum.

Since then, I’ve worked in wardrobe construction in New York, as a handyman in Chicago, and as a cellular tower technician. I now live in Columbus, Ohio. Six months ago, with no programming experience, I started developing my own memory system for AI, providing long-term memory for large language models. This has transformed my life, and I’m working toward fully transitioning to AI system creation. Pleased to join this community!

Hey everyone!

I’m Sam, a UK dev currently building Inkfluence AI, a tool that turns scattered notes, docs, and ideas into fully formatted eBooks, workbooks, and lead magnets in minutes.

I’ve spent the last year rebuilding it from scratch and finally launched publicly a couple of weeks ago.

If you’ve ever tried to write a book or long-form guide and got stuck organising your ideas, you’ll probably get why I built it.

If you're curious, here it is: Inkfluence AI

Happy to connect with other builders, AI people, or anyone working on publishing/content tools.

Hello all! 👋

Something I've learned about myself while doing interviews lately is that I'm not very articulate about what I do. Likely because I don't talk to people about it.

Now I'm not about to start chatting-up random people about software development and application architecture, but I can write about it! I think this will help me.

So I'm about to unleash a blog upon the world, and I think I've got a good angle.

Hi, I'm a cybersecurity enthusiast, and I want to connect with people who share similar interests. I was solving some TryHackMe challenges when I discovered that many people write solutions on the Medium platform, and I thought—why not do the same? It’s so exciting that I’m going to be writing all about the struggles I go through while solving challenges on TryHackMe. Let’s see if this platform brings me any benefits or not. ❤

Hey everyone! I'm Alex, and I'm building Synapse with my co-founder Xia, a social network where code has syntax highlighting and LaTeX renders beautifully, and you can mix text, images, audio, video, and files all in one post. We are almost ready to launch.

We got tired of screenshotting equations and code blocks to share on X(Twitter), so we're building something way better.

Excited to be part of this community and share our progress. Always happy to connect with other builders!

Hi, I learned python language and built my first python app. I wanted to showcase my app, get some insights or feedback from other developers which would help me improve my coding skills. I wanted to connect with other developers, learn about their projects and probably learn new things along the way.
