ggandhi··on Renting a sewing machine from the library
I signed my daughter up for a library card when she was two. She can't read yet.

I believed you can't teach a child to love libraries. You keep taking them, and let the room do the rest. That room do wonders and it did that to me and I am sure will do that to her too.

ggandhi··on Zed 1.0
Once there was Vim, and then there is Zed. In between I just found useless UI bloats.

Simply love it!

ggandhi··on 15 years, one server, 8GB RAM and 500k users – how Webminal refuses to die
This is a very inspiring entrepreneurial story. The story of not giving up.
ggandhi··on Don't Build Multi-Agents
"It is now 2025 and React (and its descendants) dominates the way developers build sites and apps." Is there any research which tells react is dominating or most of the internet is not vanilla HTML but react?
ggandhi··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (July 2025)
Just soft launched: http://disposableapps.com - Hugging face for micro-tools. Disposable apps propose few apps a week and the ones with max votes stay and rest gets "disposed off" and the ones which stay are available for flat monthly subscription.

Would love feedback, contributions, or ideas for other templates/features!

ggandhi··on Claude Code Is a Slot Machine
Lovable, I feel, works at a higher abstraction layer. The unpredictability of whether my prompt will generate something delightful in that initial design creates an addictive slot machine dynamic. But would these tools lose their magic if the results became completely deterministic?
ggandhi··on Gitea Private, Fast, Reliable DevOps Platform
Love this products and its simplicity. It was challenge to setup actions but other than that, its a perfect product for our small team.
ggandhi··on Show HN: Myphotos.site – Make a gallery website from Google Photos
This is super cool, just like the www.myphotos.site. Just need a nice UI and options to share/hide album.
ggandhi··on Rabbit: LLM-First Mobile Phone
I found this site few years back which was a real simple device for this task.

ggandhi··on 1901: Semiconductor rectifiers patented as “cat's whisker” detectors

ggandhi··on Ask HN: What has your personal website/blog done for you?
I learn by taking notes, but keeping up with AI developments was becoming challenging. To stay updated, I began a daily blog in April last year to cover various topics and create a repository of notes for future reference.

Initially free, the blog eventually became paid and grew into a very active WhatsApp group of over 700+ members.

This week, something that started as a personal blog is evolving into a product for me.

The blog helped me in many ways: - Increased learning by actively looking for newer topics and exploring more about them

- After having a few users it put pressure and discipline to blog daily

- Led to many interesting conversations and connections

- Give lots of innovative ideas and a boost of confidence

- There are lots of learning on entrepreneurship as well

For those who might be interested, I maintain it here: http://everydayseries.com/blog/

ggandhi··on Show HN: Kody Tools – I developed 300 tools in 6 months
I know this feeling. I have gone down similar rabbit hole once too; and it was fun, relaxing and act as a stress buster for me. Thanks for sharing these.
