Brilliant progress, Aryan. Well done!
Really looking forward to seeing what @webdeveloperhyper and yourself come up with!
Thank you very much Richard!! It means a lot to receive supportive comments like yours.
Youβve just started your new job and youβre already doing so many things in parallel. Iβm surprised by how talented you are.π€―
I appreciate it. I donβt think itβs talent as much as curiosity and showing up even when things feel unclear. Excited to see where this goes.

Congratulations on your milestone Aryan!! I am very happy this community is supporting each other. All the best for your project. #Excited!!
Thank you very much Srujan!
I finally finished my WebGPU demo for a post coming out next week! π
On top of that, I survived yet another week of winter in Poland (weβve got meter-high snowdrifts βοΈπ ).
I can't wait to read your article! I'm interested in this technology, but I haven't had time to read up on it yet. In the meantime, stay warm!
Look forward to reading the post next week, Sylwia.
Happy to hear you're staying safe and warm too!

Probably one of the best technologies to master right now! Good for you.
This week, I unleashed the first cut of my DEV.to stats engine β a unapologetically geeky, command-line-only hybrid of ETL and CRM. It captures every metric over time, cuts through the vanity noise, and surfaces the real trends hiding underneath. Itβs already reshaping the way I understand my own content.
where is the article about it???
Itβs coming! Iβve been adding features nonstop β from VADER sentiment to spaCy analysis β and now I need to pause, breathe, and actually write the article instead of shipping yet another idea. Iβll share it as soon as I pull everything together. The repo is on GitHub, by the way β I hadnβt shared it yet, but itβs public.
Waking up this morning to find I had been granted Trusted Member status at DEV Community! Then, a little later on, to find I had been awarded the Warm Welcome badge to boot! Happy and shocked in equal measure!
Also posted my first Python-related post this morning, highlighting Free Python Resources I've either bookmarked or used over the years. Special thanks to @jessdv for prompting me to post it!
It's going to be a good day!!
Indeed, Jess. Thanks to you and the rest of the team here at DEV.
Wow that's great Richard! Congratulations!!
Thanks, Aryan. Very much appreciated!
This list would help a beginner like myself a lot! Appreciate all your efforts, Richard. Glad you are being recognized :)
Thank you so very much for your kind words, Jess. I joined DEV to keep myself motivated and honest while learning, so glad to help others along the way!
As always, I didn't know what I was doing or why. I wanted to try switching from vs code to notepad (lol, it sounds stupid, but I was curious about how people used to make apps without anything). In the end, I created an IDE that combined the standard Windows Explorer, console, and notepad. It was so disgusting and silly.
At least I learned how to remove the close button from the window. Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I was going to ask if you had checked out Notepad++, EmberNoGlow, before realising I had completely misread what you said. I blame a lack of coffee on my part!
Building projects is a great way to learn anything, and curiosity fuels their creation. Silly or not, if you take something from it that is all that really matters!
haha, good 1!
shipped v2 of my edge RAG system this week. added hybrid search + reranking that actually beats $200/month enterprise solutions
dev.to/dannwaneri/my-5month-rag-sy...
I saved a lot of time by only typing 4 letters in the 'Search project files...' dialogue in Zed. All of the file names in the project are compound words, and typing the last two and the first two letters at a joint always gets the right file as top hit. :)
haha love it
Becoming aware of negative patterns in my behaviour and managing to change them in a short amount of time. One of my downfalls is I used to completely tie creation to my identity, "If I do this, I matter" sort of deal. But lately I've improved my self awareness and am able to choose not to give room to this toxic survival behaviour. The change slowly gave room to new, healthier inspiration, for music, for tech, for life. I'm glad!
Truly inspiring stuff, m3khanikal. Would love to see a post on this journey one day!
An amazing week and a downer as well. Finally 3 active users on my app apart from my own kidsβ¦.a parents call with appreciation and feedback :)β¦..and now realizing that invite code system was a bad idea need to open it up for full beta. Hope next week goes better.
Also a strange week. Trying to understand and learn how to start an open source repo on GitHub my first which would help I think people like me to create production ready apps with a proper protocol.
Shipped a way for developers to share ChatGPT Apps and had fun doing it!
