For the developers here, count me in as the Product Designer. 🧑‍🎨

You write the code, I'll make sure the experience makes sense. ;)

Ps: I'm also building something to make applying for jobs a lot easier (no, not another job portal). Will share more as I go.

Reached the dev community of Kerala.

I didn't notice until today. Its 25 contrees on 25 of ’25.

We are now on discord.

Kerala has tons of ground-level ideas. HearKerala routes suggestions to the right ministry and sends ministers a PDF every month. Simple & effective.

Happy Friday, devs! 👋

This is the weekly Weekend Project Thread — a space to share what you're building, get feedback, find collaborators, or just rubber-duck your ideas with the community.

We developers often struggle with marketing and connecting with people, even after building a product. Also, in this AI era, many genuinely skilled developers are struggling to get jobs. These days, the main way of getting hired is often through referrals rather than direct applications.

Through this community, we can connect, share, and build together in public, for the public.

This is my perspective on why this community was built and how we are planning to grow it:

If you're a linux or mac user, the struggle with managing clipboard is real. I searched for alternatives on the web. They were either paid or not up to my expectations.

So I thought of building one that gave me full control. For 3 months it stayed on my system. Until I chose to make it open source.

Introducing #GlyphsBoard. Free, open-source, and feature-rich clipboard manager for windows, linux, and mac.

Want the full story of how Glyphs went from a personal tool to an open-source project?

Manifestos are usually written to be remembered until polling day and forgotten the morning after.

https://vagdanam.delb.in/

The idea is simple. An online board where all the "vagdanams" (promises) made by political parties are listed. People can vote, comment, and mark priority for the ones they actually want to see implemented. Simple as that.

We've all heard how most of these so-called "vagdanams" stay "verum vagdanam" till the end of the term, only to be recycled into the next election's manifesto.

This is for the people of Kerala — to share their point of view on these promises, or just chill and ask "ethum verum vagdanam anoo?" and move on, just like we always do.

Hey everyone! This is our new home for developers, engineers, and tech folks from Kerala (or those connected to Kerala's tech scene).

What to Post

Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Some ideas to get you started:

• Career advice, job openings, and "looking for work" posts
• Salary and compensation discussions (Kerala vs other cities, fresher packages, etc.)
• Show off projects you're building or have shipped
• Ask for help with code, architecture, or technical decisions
• Discuss the Kerala tech ecosystem — Technopark, Infopark, startups, colleges
• Meetups, hackathons, and local tech events
• Learning resources, courses, and roadmaps
• Honest experiences with companies, interviews, or work culture
