"Where did I put that thing? 🔦🤔" - "अरे, यहीं तो रखा था न कल…" - "बुझाइय कि खो गेलौ।" After months of work, @KabirHenry and I have launched Lighthouse, a free, open-source, cross-platform app that keeps track of where everything in your home lives. You might remember it from the spoiler post we made when we had finished designing most of it. With him on the design and me on the implementation, we were quite a team! You add your rooms and the spots inside them, like the top drawer, the pantry shelf or the box in the garage. Then you add what's in each one. Next time you're hunting for your passport or the spare charger, all you do is search. After months of effort, we took it all the way from initial design, system architecture planning, to a finished app. We designed the pixel-art themed look, went back and forth on every screen, and then built it properly: • 📷 Photos for items, rooms and locations. • 🏘️ More than one home. • 💾 Backup and restore, photos included. • 🔒 No accounts: your data never leaves your device! • 📱 Install it on your phone and use it offline. It's open source, and we'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think! I, for one, am definitely using Lighthouse to manage my home inventory. 😄 Are you?

Met these amazing folk at @IndiaFOSS working on building: 1. Chitra: A 2D rendering library for the D language. 2. Sanka: Lots of Kannada language projects (including a cheeky numeral transliterator). TIL there are legacy Kannada script fonts that aren’t Unicode compliant (like Kruti Dev for Devanagari).

I don’t understand the criticism of serving a vegetarian menu at BRICS. India arguably has the richest vegetarian cuisine in the world, so why shouldn’t we showcase it? And this is no ordinary veg menu: Khandvi from Gujarat, mushroom galouti from Awadh, gucchi from Kashmir, poriyal from the South, Old Delhi fruit cream with jalebi…a culinary journey across India. I wish I was invited for this sumptuous dinner!

My dad has been using these Apple EarPods for 6 months It took me 5 minutes to realise they’re fake. They were bought from @blinkitcares / @letsblinkit. How are counterfeit Apple products being sold on a platform this big?

have an update to share that i’ve been keeping to myself for a while. i got laid off recently. it wasn’t something i expected, and honestly, it took me some time to accept the reality. but i’m ready to move forward, and i’m now looking for my next opportunity. i’m an AI Engineer with experience across GenAI, LLMs, agentic AI, backend systems, and building AI solutions end to end. i’m currently looking for Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) / SDE roles, especially at AI startups where i can work closely with customers, understand real-world problems, and turn them into solutions that actually ship. also open to AI Engineer and Founding AI Engineer roles. i’m also open to freelance and GTM opportunities where i can help teams build, launch, and take AI products to market. if you’re hiring or know a team that’s hiring, i’d genuinely appreciate an intro. RTs & referrals would mean a lot. 🤍

We need to bring maximalism back. Indians are not supposed to be minimalistic. This goes super hard

When I created Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi, I was excited to help bring low-cost compute into the hands of a next generation of tinkerers and programmers. However, I now despair that a Raspberry Pi can cost upwards of $300 because AI shortages are making personal computing unaffordable. Furthermore, bright young people are being discouraged from learning programming because they are being told it is now a commodity skill that AI will do. I have to ask myself what it was all for. Is this the future we were promised? If so, I'm starting to regret my part in it.
