Chronicles of Nityesh

a one-person publishing house

The proprietor, at his desk.

Hi, I'm Nityesh. I build software with a lot of help from AI. This website is my experiment in the next shape of personal publishing: a publishing house with one employee and no deadlines.

Once, a person with something to say could only print essays. I still write those. But the presses got stranger: now I also draw comics about ideas that deserve pictures, and — this is the new part — I publish full working software. Real tools, free to use, served from my own server, maintained the way a book stays in print.

Everything here is optimised for truth, not engagement.

The library

Every era of my life, bound and shelved.

The essays aren't going anywhere — they're shelved by who I was when I wrote them, left to right. The last book is still being written. Pull one down.

The workshop is open.

A publishing house with a print room you can walk into. The machinery behind all of this is on GitHub.

Not a newsletter. When I finish something, I send it to you: a polished app you can use that day, a fun comic, and the articles on how it all got made.

No cadence. I ship when I ship. Lately, I ship often.
