Made a Telegram Gifts Radar

🚀 @giftsradar

Subscribe, and you will be notified as soon as new gifts become available

👨‍💻 Tech details:

Userbot checks all available gifts every 30 seconds, posts about new ones and updates existings

🔑 Open Source

TypeScript, Bun, Prisma, Postgres, GramJS, Docker

Tried to keep code and architecture clean, so beginners could learn from it

Btw, did it in october, when gifts came up. Just had no time to deploy and post 😳

🔧 Start Building in Web!

It's been almost a year since I started build Full Stack WEB applications, not just server programs, +switched from Python to TS

And this, was one of the best decisions I made as a developer

I know many of you still make all of their applications as a console programs, and sometimes, it's not the best way

User needs to manually download your repository, Python or Nodejs engine, install dependencies and run it in his terminal

It's not user-friendly, not scalable, and even dangerous for users, to run noscripts localy

Why don't you just learn web development and host your apps on web?

Then, user can just visit your website, and JS code will run in his browser, on client

Creating web apps it's not that difficult, as people think, especially with a frameworks and component libs, like we have today

Developers will agree: usually, with a proper toolset, create and deploy a web application is even easier than a Telegram Bot

And once you learn how to do it, you will have a lot of opportunities

Soon I will make an article about my 2025 Workflow and Tech-Stack, which I've been mastering for a long time, that makes my applications development process extremly fast and easy

🗓️ My Calendar Setup Is Finally Perfect

After years of trying different productivity tools out there, I built a system where everything is synced and organized in one place.

Using Todoist, Notion, Google Calendar, and more — here’s a short article on how I set it up👇

📵 Taming Social Media Distractions

Social media is extremely powerful tool — it can either waste your time or open huge opportunities. The key is staying balanced between creating and consuming.

For over a year, I’ve been using a browser extension that hides distractions like Shorts, Reels, comments, and algorithmic noise — without blocking the platforms completely.

So I just wanna recommend it to smart people out there too👇

Extension For Chrome - free

Extension For Safari - 3$ forever

🇬🇧 How I Went From Zero to Fluent English in 1 Year

No tutors. No classes. No money. Just real self-discipline and a clear goal.

So I wrote a full breakdown of my strategy, how I did it, what worked, and how you can do it too:

Hey folks 👋

I’m officially open to work — looking for a remote full-time / contract full-stack or backend role at mid-level.

For the past 3+ years, I’ve been building SaaS and full-stack systems — clean infrastructure, scalable APIs, modern CI/CD pipelines, and sharp UIs.

Comfortable with modern stacks, TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, CI/CD, Docker, etc, and stay sharp with the latest tech.

Based in 🇬🇪 Georgia (UTC+4)

If you know a team that needs someone who ships fast and actually cares about quality — I’d seriously appreciate a referral or intro.

DM me if you want my resume, or have a lead. Thanks a ton! 🙏

🔗 Domains

Quick advice. I bet many of you have bought some domains, I personally have 20+, some of them I hold just as an investment, some for my future projects

But I used to make a pricey mistake - buying domains on resale markets like GoDaddy, or Namecheap. So they always charge extra money, if not upfront, then on renewals

Recently, I transferred all of my domains to Cloudflare Registrar. They let you buy, transfer, and renew your domains at cost, which means no markups.

That’s saving me over $200/year, plus I just trust Cloudflare more.

Learn on my mistake :)
