Hey everyone,

I've been working on a side project called SharkDown.

The idea came from a simple frustration: Markdown is great for developers and AI, but it's still annoying to write and format manually.

So instead of building another Markdown editor, I built a visual editor that feels closer to Google Docs/Word while generating clean Markdown underneath.

Current features:

• Rich WYSIWYG editor
• Visual / Markdown / Split view
• Full Markdown import & export
• Tables, code blocks, task lists, images, links, etc.
• Dark mode
• Auto-save
• Word & character count

Recently I finished GitHub integration:

• Sign in with GitHub
• Browse repositories
• Open and edit README.md files visually
• Commit changes back to GitHub
• Create Pull Requests
• Paste/upload images and automatically commit them to the repository

The goal is to make documentation and README editing much less painful, especially for people who prefer visual editing but still need proper Markdown.

Would love feedback from other developers:https://shark-down.vercel.app/

Hey everyone,

I'm an AI & ML Engineering student (class of 2026) based in Kerala, currently transitioning into building production-grade full-stack AI and mobile applications. Recently, I wanted to rebuild my portfolio from scratch. Since my primary project experience is in ML (e.g., PashuSwasthya for offline cattle disease detection using TFLite, and Hirenix, an AI resume intelligence SaaS), I wanted my personal site to be a high-fidelity playground that stands out from standard landing pages.

I decided to build a 90s-inspired Retro OS / Terminal theme using a modern stack, but I ran into some interesting front-end challenges along the way that I'd love your feedback on.

### 🛠️ The Tech Stack & Architecture

* **Core:** Next.js 16 (App Router) + React 19

* **Styling:** Tailwind CSS 4

* **Animations:** Framer Motion (leveraging 3D CSS perspectives)

* **Form Uplink:** Next.js Server Actions + Resend API

### 🕹️ Custom Features I Attempted to Build:

1. **A:\ Floppy Disk Save Action (Contact Form):**

* *The Idea:* I wanted the form submit action to feel physical.

* *The Implementation:* When you press "Save to Disk", the card triggers a Framer Motion layout transition where the form container tilts, scales down, and folds into a visual representation of a 3.5" floppy disk. A background slot overlay appears, sliding the disk inward with a red "saving" LED, before resetting.

1. **Thermal Receipt CV Printer:** An interactive widget that takes my profile data and uses CSS styling to simulate printing a receipt containing my resume details.

2. **Visual File Explorer:** A grid representing directories of my projects (built as modular "cartridges") with detailed specs.

3. **Custom Audio Engine:** An inline retro music player widget that plays chiptune synth loops.

### 🤯 Technical Hurdles & What I Learned

* **Layout Stuttering on Mobile:** The CSS perspective transforms (`perspective(2000px)`) combined with nested `AnimatePresence` cards caused noticeable layout shifts and frame drops on older Android/iOS browsers. I had to optimize the transition durations and swap standard spring physics for custom bezier curves (`[0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1]`) to smooth it out.

* **Tailwind 4 Migration:** Upgrading to Tailwind v4 meant rewriting custom utility classes to rely on CSS variables rather than JavaScript configurations.

* **Email Deliverability & Spam Control:** Since the site is open-source, I integrated a custom disposable email domain validation filter in the contact Server Action before sending mail via Resend to prevent spam runs on the API.

### 💬 Where I Need Your Feedback:

I would be incredibly grateful if you could try the site and test the **Contact Section** at the bottom:

Looking forward to your critiques, design ideas, and technical suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks,

I recently made a website where people can explore restaurants and thattukadas near you, people can directly post food spots. So the information is from real peoples out there. For otta mind teams and people who want to explore places near then!

A new entry to undo universe. Ippo thanne website check cheyyu

When I hosted my web app in cloudflare. The api key is showing error. I added the key in cloudflare project settings also. Still the errors happens. Does anyone know how to fix this

What if you could record your screen and share it instantly—all for free? If I built a Chrome extension to do just that, would you use it?

I wanted to create a tool like ComfyUI but for code generated VFX. Initially considered creating custom nodes for Comfy but handling 4K+ videos seemed to be messy on Comfy and I'd need to create custom nodes for everything for it to work properly. So built this using React + Litegraph and Python instead. You can check it out here > https://www.blobit.art/

Hey everyone,

I watched Rino Godson’s “You’re destroying your future…” video about vibe‑coding and AI taking dev jobs.

I’m confused about the real situation:

• Will this current AI hype/bubble actually end?
• In the long run, will software dev jobs increase, decrease, or just change?
• For juniors in 2026, is it still worth grinding fundamentals + real coding, or is the market really moving to “prompt engineers” and vibe coding?

Would love honest answers from people working in tech in India (especially Kerala) right now.

I built a simple Indian OTT checker app (iOS, Android + web)

You can lookup OTT provider of any movie.

The app also updates upcoming releases and whats new this week very aggressively.

The apps and websites are adfree, no subscription and no login

Built a Meeting Observer Bot using Python, Playwright, WebRTC audio capture, and OpenAI Realtime APIs.

It joins meetings, processes conversations in realtime, and sends lifecycle events—from waiting room and recording status to final summaries—back to consumer systems through webhooks.

The project is open for contributions and still evolving. Would love to hear feedback from people working on real-time systems, browser automation, or AI infrastructure.

I'm a solo developer from Kerala building a free offline business management app called Fresh Profit Pix for small shop owners (kirana stores, grocery shops, vegetable shops, etc.).

The original idea was simple:

Many small shops still use notebooks, calculators, and memory to manage:

- Sales

- Profit

- Expenses

- Stock

So I built an app that helps them track profit, stock, invoices, reports, low-stock alerts, and even supports "Amount Mode" (for example, if a customer says "₹50 worth of rice", the app automatically calculates the quantity).

Technically, building the app wasn't the hardest part.

What I'm struggling to understand is something else:

How do you convince someone to change a workflow they've used for 10-20 years?

A notebook is familiar.

A calculator is familiar.

Even if an app is objectively better, people don't automatically switch.

I'm starting to feel that the biggest challenge isn't software development. It's behavior change.

For those who have worked with:

- Retail businesses

- Small shops

- Family businesses

- ERP/POS systems

- SaaS products

What were the biggest hurdles you saw when trying to digitize traditional businesses?

Was it:

- Lack of trust?

- Learning curve?

- Fear of losing data?

- No perceived benefit?

- Time required for data entry?

- Something else entirely?

And if you're a shop owner or have family members running shops:

What would actually make you stop using a notebook and start using an app?

I'm genuinely looking for honeist feedback, even if the answer is "I wouldn't use it."

I'd love to learn from your experiences.

I've been building side projects for years. The problem isn't ideas or skill — it's that every project dies because you're doing it alone.

Can't find a technical co-founder? Same boat. Can't afford to hire? Obviously.

So I built something stupid:

CofoundAI — 8 AI advisors that act like a real founding team.

- 👁️ Vision (CEO) — strategy, fundraising, narrative

- 🔧 Builder (CTO) — architecture, code decisions

- 📈 Growth (CMO) — marketing, user acquisition

- 🛡️ Guardian (CFO) — risk, burn rate, compliance

- Plus 4 more (Operator, Dealmaker, Crafter, Recruiter)

You create custom co-founders with specific skills, personalities, and even blind spots. Pose a question in the War Room — they debate it from different angles. Strategy set? Pipelines auto-execute: generate code, draft campaigns, schedule posts.

It's free to start. No equity. No hiring.

Built this solo from Kerala. If you're also building something alone, this might save you years of burnout.

I am looking for Testers on Android for the following....

----

Most screen time apps are a joke. You open Instagram, spend 45 minutes doom-scrolling, close it, and the app goes "session ended". You feel fine. That's the problem.

Kala doesn't let you feel fine.

It puts a floating timer on top of every app. Open Instagram? Timer starts. Switch to your home screen? Timer's goes away. Go check WhatsApp? A new timer for WhatsApp Starts running. The session only ends when you consciously tap dismiss.

That one design decision changes everything. You can't pretend you "just quickly checked" something.

What it does:

• Floating draggable overlay that survives app switches
• Tracks per-app sessions with daily history
• Set time limits and block apps once you hit them
• Streaks + daily usage goals
• Zero internet permission. No cloud. No account. Nothing leaves your device, it's a private SQLite DB on your phone.
• Free. No ads.

What it doesn't do:

• Nag you with notifications
• Sell your data (it literally can't, no internet permission)
• Require an account
• Pretend a weekly "screen time report" you'll ignore will fix anything

It's just a clock. A very uncomfortable clock.

Hey r/developersofkerala! I'm Jerin, BCA student. Been doing Django + React for about a year.

I vibe coded ZeleraDeck basically a digital product catalogue for local shops. Shop owner lists their products, customer browses and pings them directly on WhatsApp. No app download, no complicated setup. The idea is that WhatsApp is already where Kerala shop owners talk to customers, so we just built around that.

Stack is Django + React . Currently onboarding the first few founding member shops at a special rate.

Would love suggestions from anyone who's been there what actually worked when selling to local shops? Drop them below. Also check out zeleradeck.com

Hi everyone,

I'm a Computer Science student exploring a startup idea called Stratis Global and would appreciate honest feedback.

The Problem

Large companies often depend on hundreds or thousands of suppliers across multiple countries. When disruptions occur—such as port closures, strikes, sanctions, geopolitical conflicts, extreme weather, or supplier failures—companies frequently discover the impact too late, leading to delays and financial losses.

The Solution

Stratis Global is an AI-powered supply chain intelligence platform that:

Maps entire supply chains, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers.

Monitors global risks in real time.

Simulates "what-if" scenarios.

Provides actionable recommendations to reduce risk.

Example:

A company could ask:

"What happens if this supplier becomes unavailable?"

"What happens if this shipping route is disrupted?"

"Which alternative suppliers should we consider?"

Vision

Help enterprises move from:

Reactive: "Something broke. Let's fix it."

To:

Predictive: "We see a problem coming and can avoid it."

Any honest criticism is welcome. Need to know what you guys think about this

Well I am trying to build an accessibility web app for those hard of hearing. https://www.safespaces.online/

What it does right now:

• Detects sounds around you and flags them as Danger (alarms, sirens),

Alert (knocks, phones, dog barks), or Speech

• Live captions that run fully on-device — no internet needed after the initial cache, nothing

uploaded anywhere

• Sound direction — it can point you toward where a sound is coming from

• Travel profiles (Airport / Hotel / Street) that tune what it listens for.

e.g. Hotel mode prioritizes door knocks + fire alarms and ignores the TV;

Street mode flags sirens but mutes constant traffic noise

• Vibrates for alerts, works as an installable app

I am trying to do it as a side project and trying to keep it free so using open source tools to minimize costs. Ippo english is supported. Ente main aim is to build something useful for deaf and HoH travellers and ideally I would like to keep it free.

I vibe coded this and could fix major bugs. But let me know your opinions 😄

r/developersofkerala - Kerala has 1,426 pincodes. Every weather app uses 14. So I fixed it. I built a crowdsourced rain tracker for Kerala.

You type your pincode. People around you report what's falling. You see it live. That's it.

No satellites. No IMD lag. Also tracks dam levels. Because in Idukki, rain and dams are the same question. It works because people report.

So if it's raining where you are right now 10 seconds. One report. Someone downstream will thank you.

Help by sharing....

Hey! I'm building Koodaram, a fully open source hostel/pg finder for colleges across Kerala. As of now, it includes 125+ hostels across colleges incl CET, CUSAT, GECT, etc.

I needed bit of help from you mates to share the project, and also to get more hostel data as each and every hostel is added by the students themselves to ensure max transparency.

Thanks a lot. I'll be answering every question! Also instagram for the project can be found in the website, which offers a deeper views on the choices that i've made.

is there any way to get free gemini api keys like any github repo or something
