Our attention spans are getting wrecked by TikTok and Instagram 😅 so I’ve been trying to slow things down. I found Substack, and it’s been a refreshing change. If you like reading, you’ll love it lots of thoughtful writers and real insights. I’m really enjoying it lately, so I wanted to suggest it to you all

If you find something interesting or cool drop it here in the discussion

do u guys think all people are born with some level of evilness ? 👀

I got the idea after seeing my uncle track expenses in a notebook.
I tried it myself, but keeping up and doing monthly calculations was exhausting.
So last week, I said screw it and built Flowly a super simple personal finance app that actually works for lazy people like me. It Installs like a real phone app (PWA magic) . It works like a normal phone app, your data stays on your device, and I’ll keep improving it as I use it.

It's mobile-first, so please use your phone to check it out (desktop works, but phone feels way better!)

If you want, you can also check the code and modify it your way.
Source code: link

Tip : Open the link on your phone → tap share → "Add to Home Screen" → boom, it's now an app.🫡

I know there are a ton of better apps out there, but my flowly is like a little puppy cute in its own way, so don’t compare it with the big dogs 😂

I suffer from

‘Too Many Tabs Syndrome’

both in my browser and in my brain.

I sow this post and i relate .

My to-do-list more look like to-dream list 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.

Code, coffee, repeat ☕️💻 🤌🏼

Rate limiting
Rate limiting is just a way to control how often someone can hit your API.

It helps protect your server from abuse, reduces unnecessary load, and keeps your app running smoothly for everyone.

If you want to learn more, this is a good place to start:

Even a simple limit can make a big difference.

Me after a movie still acting like the main character for a minutes 😁

You’re still using:

const a = new Date();

to get today’s date?
Please change it to:

const now = Temporal.Now.plainDateTimeISO();

WHY? Let me tell you 👇

Date is old and full of problems:
- Months start at 0 (January = 0 )
- Invalid dates silently change
- Time zones cause random bugs
- It mutates values without warning
Temporal fixes all of this:
- Clear date & time types
- Real timezone support
- Predictable math
- Immutable & safe
- Human-friendly API

I saw this guy's post on LinkedIn, Melaku, create a user identity verification system using fayda , and I found it really fascinating! I haven’t tried it yet, but I definitely will. I just wanted to share it with you all give it a try and support the developer!

Friday doesn’t feel like Friday when Saturday is just another workday.😭

When someone says JS is overrated, show this 😊

Not everyone will understand your journey.
That’s proof it’s yours.

So when people don’t get it, don’t explain it.
Keep walking.
happy weekend u all 🥰

After lots of peer pressure about opening a telegram channel, the day has final come 😁. I’ve been thinking a lot about careers, people, growth, and the parts of tech we don’t really talk about.

I have lots of friends that took everything I know and can contribute too so I took my time into finding a small niches where I might not be the best candidate but also not the worst one 😁. For the other sides of the tech community like building projects, or into DSA or Prodcut Management, there are lots of better candidates than me so I will leave that space to them but barj in sometimes 😆

So I’m starting a Telegram channel.
Soft skills, HR stuff, lessons I’m learning, mistakes I’ve made, and sometimes just my thoughts.

Not polished. Not perfect. Just honest.
If you’re into that kind of space, feel free to join.

Remember, it's easy to feel discouraged when we see others excelling, but growth is a journey unique to each of us. Focus on competing with yourself and celebrating your progress, no matter how small. Keep pushing forward, and you'll get there!
