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.
π―β€πͺ
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!
TWO! that's right... TWO (2) 1+1 interviews!
Finally, I received an offer from a product-based company, and itβs even better than what I was expecting. After going through multiple tough technical rounds, it feels incredibly rewarding. This week has been really positive for me, and after enduring all those interviews, it feels awesome to finally reach this point.
Congrats!!
Thanks!!
I finally got my extension approved on Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. Such an achievement from where I have come from. An extension that really makes life easier for us who buy our tech from Europe, Asia or the US.
Wrote a few blog posts on Medium. nothing major.
And got some sleep. who knew.
That's awesome, congratulations!
Got 120+ stars for my new opensource project
How you got them?
Just word of mouth
share it

wrote my first post here about the beginning of my Agentic AI development journey which started with an AWS course that got a bit out of the hand (condensing 250 hours of expedition to 2000ish words).
Maybe my two const js framework is stable enough to rewrite a owercomplicated company legacy application into it. So I stared to create the POC version our inhouse version handling system. The build reach 10kb / 150ms
Cataract surgery.
For the past two years, Iβve been basically blind in my right eye (I could discern light if it was bright enough, but otherwise, it was just gray). Finally got in, and Thursday afternoon, I went under. The procedure itself was just under half an hour, but itβs done. The down side being that after so long with my left eye pulling double duty, things are now weird the other way.
Also odd is the difference in vision between my two eyes now. The left is like 720p, with the right running 4K HDRβ¦
Oh man! Congrats. Good luck with recovery.
Finally kicked off an AI integrated MERN project I have been thinking about for a while.
I am building it in public and documenting the whole journey. The workflow, decisions, structure, mistakes, the whole 9 yards as a series here on DEV. Man! it's crazy.
This week, I finally completed a small interactive web project I had been experimenting with! π It was a great chance to practice React and TypeScript while bringing a creative idea to life. Feeling motivated for the next challenge!
Well done, Shloka!
Don't know if it is a win, but I've exhausted my free GitHub Copilot quota, and its only the 19th of the month π± In winning news, I did have two PRs merged in the holidays Python module.
Last time I posted about my Habitica project had no branding or domain. My colleague had a great suggestion for a name, so it's now dubbed...
Octogriffin!
You can check it out here: octogriffin.com
It's a very niche product I'd say. It's for developers who also use Habitica and want to score points for working on their code. I'm currently in the testing phase of the new update which will let you define which exact GitHub event gives you what amount of XP/Gold in Habitica.
Check it out if you like, feedback is always welcome :)
I finally finished my portfolio website, there's still some room for improvement but its finally finished and i need to correct some of my project details as they were temporarily placed there
I created three games in two weeks, small ones, but I applied a lot of concepts and learned a lot about Typescript and Canvas. In the IA era, we could still enjoy the code.
from where do you learn like you wanna learn new tech stack from where do you learn it?
I released a new version of a legal tech app I'm working on. Also wrote my first post here!
I took a Korean cooking class this week! A nice way to learn some new skills and get away from the screen a bit :)
This week, I managed to finish my Google AI Studioi "New Year, New You" Portfolio Challenge, and also managed to do a good bit of progress debugging my social urbex application, which is now in alpha.
I got accepted to help work on a revamped version of my childhood dream game. The original is now EOL, so itβs awesome to contribute to bringing it back with the original devs blessing. Even if it doesnβt work out, Iβve learned a ton already π
My webcam's brightness failed me during a meeting. Instead of buying a ring light, I built one using Go, Wails v3, and some Win32 magic.- github.com/ehsanpo/Fakering
A nice fix, Ehsan - impressive stuff!
I bug-fixed MANY holes in my programming language, and I'm starting to focus more on the UI, which means the logic stage is finally over (for now...)!
Glad Iβm 90% done with my Google Portfolio challenge entry. Next stop; deploying to gcloud, testing and submission.
Oooh nice!
My win this week: shipped a small feature that cut user friction by a lot. Reminder that tiny improvements compound faster than big plans. π
I completed a week at my new job. I was able to follow a web development conversation at work and make meaningful suggestions for debugging a situation. β¨οΈ That was a good feeling.
Great to hear, Anna. I hope the new job continues to bring joy and new positive experiences!
Thank you!
Last week, I added new blocks of "Flyout Menus" to the Angular Material Blocks collection!
I also published an article about Implement Enter/Exit Animations with Angular CDK Overlay
Finally getting back into writing! I posted two articles in the past week after several years of having a block.
Brilliant news, Ant. Will be sure to check out the posts!
My win this week:
Built and launched TypeCoach, a minimalist online typing trainer with real-time WPM, accuracy tracking and a cyberpunk UI: perfect for devs leveling up their keyboard game. Open-sourced
My streaming site got 100 visitors from 5 continents(Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and North America): dev.to/beleke_ian/i-built-a-stream...
Iβve finally started a new series where I write about tech topics in alphabetical order. Iβve already published the post for Letter A, and Iβll be posting one letter each week. I hope this tech series is helpful for everyone.
After a good year and a half of development, I finally released JourneyJot, a platform to plan and share holiday plans and itinerary. I have a tendency to start a lot of small projects but never finish them so this was a good win for me. 0 users right now but the fact that it's released is a big thing :D
Not a super big win but I published a post. Depending on how they land, I am planning to create more during this year. Cheers!
My biggest win was finally moving from 'stealth' to 'active' by rebranding our site and doing some major seo work on it , getting our workstation listed on G2, SourceForge, and Indie Hackers.
The highlight? Seeing 42 organic visitors hit the site in a single hour right after these updates and listings went live. Itβs a small spike, but it's proof that there's a real hunger for tools that actually solve the 'handwriting-to-text' nightmare.
Now, back to squashing a few technical bugs and getting ready for our Product Hunt launch! #BuildInPublic #StartupWins #NoteOCR"
I was able to put the finishing touched on my "evolving AI agent" that automatically builds tools it needs on the fly ...
You can find its source code here.
I had two system upgrades go awry. I was able to restore both systems with some serious Linux kung fu.
Well - this week, regarding the New you, portfolio challenge, I just downloaded the antigarvity IDE, and found out superb features in it, two of my favourites where.
β Built in chrome tool - to view build in Web
β Ai multi model Interaction panel - although since its a fork of vocoder I kinda expected this.
logre en protocolo en rust de comunicacion con estadisticas de 23kmsg/s teniedno un ping de 200ms y cero perdidas!!! github.com/OrzattyStudio/Orzatty-P...
This is such a great prompt! My win this week was optimizing content for better SEO and seeing real improvements in traffic β small steps, big motivation. Thanks for the encouragement! πβ¨
Crossed** 700+ **overall downloads on my own, published NPM Package called Coderkit
I finally finished my little "Guess the Number" project using only Vanilla Js
My win was wrapping up a WordPress project where I built two custom plugins to handle specific functionality. A very productive week!
This week was again a new starting after burnout.
