6 software tools I built for myself

Dictate: voice typing for Android, on one API key.

I just got an Android phone, and my favorite dictation app doesn't have an Android app yet, so I vibecoded one. Hold a tab above the keyboard, talk, let go, and clean text is typed into whatever app I'm in. It runs on one OpenRouter key with no subscription, and it's open source.

Chronicles: the blog engine you rewrite, not configure.

Eight years on Ghost, replaced in two days by a vanilla Rails app my agent can write to, publish from, and reshape. The migration was parity-gated, URL by URL. Search Console never noticed. This site runs on it.

Teach Me Something.

Built with my brother Piyush on nights and weekends. It turns your AI, Claude or ChatGPT or whatever you use, into your personal tutor. Free, and it stays free.

hands-on-deck: PowerPoint for AI agents.

AI could already make a beautiful deck. Working with it was the problem: one alignment fix meant regenerating everything. So I gave the agent a CLI like PowerPoint. You see a slide; it sees ten thousand lines of code. First repo past 100 stars.

Spool: the Loom alternative of my dreams.

Pick a screen, click the red thing, talk. The share link lands in your clipboard before you finish your sentence. Built on the side by chatting with my agent on Slack; the demo was recorded in it.
