I built my childhood dream: an open-source intelligence workspace inspired by platforms like Palantir

Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by spy movies, hacker movies, and the huge intelligence maps you always saw on screen.

As I got older, I realized there are real platforms that solve similar problems, but they're generally proprietary and out of reach for most developers.

I kept wondering what an open-source version could look like.

So over the past few weeks I've been building Akashic.

Akashic is a self-hosted intelligence workspace that brings together aircraft, satellites, earthquakes, weather, public radio, infrastructure, country intelligence, public cameras, and other OSINT sources onto a single interactive map.

The goal isn't to replace every existing service.

It's to make exploration easier.

Instead of switching between multiple websites, you can combine layers, inspect entities directly on the map, and correlate information from different public sources in one workspace.

Current highlights:

• Open source (MIT)

• Self-hosted

• No mandatory API keys

• Built in public

This is still an early project, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on the direction, missing features, or things you'd like to see.

I got tired of checking whether Claude Code was still working, so I built this

I've been using Claude Code quite a bit and realized I was constantly looking back at my screen to see whether it had:

  • finished the task
  • stopped and needed my input
  • was still working

So I built BrainSnack, a VS Code/Cursor extension that handles this for me.

While Claude is working, it opens a small panel with something short to read — AI news, technical articles, interview questions, output-based questions, etc.

And when Claude finishes or needs my input, it plays a sound so I know I can come back.

The interesting part is that it doesn't monitor the screen or scrape terminal output.

It's free and open source.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from other developers.

I also shared the build/story on LinkedIn. If you'd like to see it there (and help a small indie project get a little more reach), here's the post:

Its been 5 months that i got laid off. I have been applying for job and almost given up applying to new one. As there are more than 100 application to one opening.

I am not sure how long it will take to complete the product and get mw sustainable amount. Let me know your openion on this.

I developed an OCR Model by myself, need career advice. I am a 4th year engineering student

Same as title, I developed the first ever OCR Model for Kaithi Script, I am writing a research paper on it under the supervision of the dean of my college. The model has a really good accuracy and I am not supposed to disclose any evaluation metrics and working of it as of now. I am very much into deep learning and I have been studying and applying ML/DL in projects and internships. I also helped ministry of statistics and programme implementation in a research related to prediction of monthly per capita expenditure of the country.

Major problems: I am pursuing engineering in instrumentation and control from a Tier 2 private university, and I have a CGPA of 6.42/10

I do really have a good resume ( according to my faculty and friends )

Because of my academics I am not able to grab any good research internship in various institutes, I cannot sit in most of the companies in campus placements due to my CGPA. Off-campus sucks and I think I dont even get noticed at the places where I am applying.

I apply on linkedin, naukri, cutshort, etc. I email recruiters everyday, after seeing their linkedin posts.
There aren’t many openings in IITs related to DL research internships as well. I will be needing an internship from Jan2027 (6 month)

I need guidance, thank you.

Would you be able to code tomorrow without Claude Code/Codex

I don’t know what am i doing with my life at this point, it feels like i am just a labour with the tools.
Would i be able to code without ai tools tomorrow ?
A big no for me

Is it same for everyone ?
Like what happens if the company doesn’t sponsor AI Tools how would i justify high salaries then ?

Imposter syndrome is kicking in hard to me
I face issues in reading and understanding code still after what almost 3 years if experience

I feel i cant design systems.
How do i work on these aspects or move away from tech industry completely

I don’t know if i would want to be working as a software developer post 5-7 years
But what after that ?

It kinda feels that it might happen to me only about the stories that i have heard about people riding cabs after layoffs and not able to find a new job.

Any advise or suggestion
I am kinda stuck at this point in life
I am 25 right now
Recently switched as an early engineer in a consumer based startup with 30+ as base
But still cant think what would happen post 5-7 years

Any thoughts or suggestions would help.

People with 4–5+ YOE in IT/Tech, do you feel you should have chosen something else?

Seeing the current job market, layoffs, overwork, AI uncertainty, hiring freezes, recruiter ghosting, and increasingly difficult interviews — do those of you with 4–5+ YOE ever feel like you should've chosen a different career?

I'm currently at around 2 YOE. I'm reasonably good at DSA and work primarily with Java/backend development. I was planning to switch companies, couldn't land a single interview despite 20+ referrals and 100+ applications.

Looking at the current market and all the uncertainty, I'm genuinely starting to question whether I want to spend the next 20–30 years of my life doing this.

I'm even considering pivoting toward government job preparation, mainly because stability and predictability are becoming more attractive to me.

For those who've been in tech for 4–5+ years: knowing what you know now, would you still choose IT/tech?

Help me for my startup 👁️‍🗨️

I have a proper startup idea and Iam 100% sure that it will hit and click to the audience. The target audience nearly millions.

The thing lacking is how to apply for further proceedings to register and funding, I researched about what to do next and what stages involved but end of the day it needs proper funding, and also it need some experienced developers to manage this application for scalable, security etc..

What I personally felt is, even though if there is no way of proper funding, we can manage. But what I need majorly is experienced developers for making it production level.

If anyone interested DM me, its might be Ur side work and but it has a proper scope.

This project exists because my gf believed in it enough to spend ₹2,000 every month.

[SOUND ON]

I honestly wasn't planning to launch this project.

I thought it would end up as just another GitHub repository because I couldn't justify paying to keep it running.

Then my girlfriend convinced me otherwise.

She had a terrible roommate experience while preparing for NEET, and I had similar issues during my UPSC preparation in Allahabad. We realized that most platforms help you find a room—but almost none help you find a roommate whose lifestyle actually matches yours.

She even offered to contribute ₹2000/month so I could keep the server running. Otherwise, this would've probably stayed a resume project forever.

So I built Aspimate.

Instead of matching only on rent and location, it matches people using factors that actually affect daily life during preparation:

  • Exam & coaching
  • Study schedule
  • Sleep timings
  • Food preferences
  • Cleanliness
  • Noise tolerance
  • Smoking
  • Gaming habits
  • Lights on/off while sleeping
  • ...and several other behavioural metrics.

Tech Stack

  • FastAPI
  • PostgreSQL
  • SQLAlchemy
  • Docker
  • Nginx
  • Redis
  • Cloudinary
  • Firebase Auth
  • Leaflet + OpenStreetMap
  • Vanilla JS + HTML/CSS

& Bahut se nayi cheez seekhi maine while building it

  • Docker networking headaches
  • Nginx reverse proxy
  • PostgreSQL migrations
  • DNS & SSL deployment
  • Rate limiting
  • VPS monitoring
  • Image upload pipelines
  • Search indexing & SEO

It's still Version 1, and I have a long roadmap ahead.

Since the platform is brand new, the user base is obviously small. So if someone creates a profile today, they'll automatically receive an email whenever a compatible roommate joins.

If you're a developer, I'd genuinely love feedback on:

  • the product idea
  • the UI/UX
  • the matching approach
  • the tech stack
  • or anything you'd improve.

Website: https://aspimate.com

Also, if anyone has experience scaling marketplaces or solving the cold-start problem, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

The Kal Package Manager

Hey everyone,

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Kal, my programming language written from scratch.

I am really happy to share a glimpse of Kal's own package manager! Kal v0.1.0 shipped with a package system that lets you add and use third party Kal packages. But, that process was completely manual. You’d have to clone the package, place it in the right directory, clone the package’s entire dependencies all by yourself, one after another. :(

The package manager changes everything. One command automates all!

Instead of being a separate executable, the package manager ships as part of the Kal interpreter itself.

Here’s what it can do:

  1. Install Kal packages from Github, or any git hosting service.
  2. Creates/Updates a project.kal file to read and write package information (analogous to package.json).
  3. Downloads all packages at the same hierarchy in parallel (yup, it’s multi-threaded).
  4. Resolves sub dependencies of the main package automatically to any depth and installs them too.
  5. Upgrades/Downgrades packages based on their git tags.
  6. Auto-resolves cyclic dependencies to prevent an infinite loop.

The Kal Package Manager will officially ship with the next Kal release. Its current source code is available on Github.

Kal: https://kal-lang.vercel.app
Github: https://github.com/KILLinefficiency/Kal
Package Manager: https://github.com/KILLinefficiency/Kal/blob/pkg/pkg.hpp

Kal is completely free & open source. You can show your support by giving the Github Repository a star.

Until the next update!

Looking for Backend/Java opportunities | 4.5+ YOE | Java, Spring Boot | Fintech/Payments

Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for a new Backend/Java opportunity and would really appreciate referrals or leads.
I have 4.5+ years of experience and currently work as a Backend Software Engineer at a product-based fintech company. My main stack is Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes and microservices.
My current work is around payment orchestration and PSP integrations. I’ve worked on 180+ payment providers and built a configuration-driven integration/transformation layer to reduce the amount of custom code needed for new integrations. I’ve also been involved in our Java 8 → Java 21 and Spring Boot 2.3 → 3.4 migration.
Apart from development, I take ownership of technical design, PR reviews, mentoring, production issues and release cycles.
I’m looking for Backend Engineer / Software Engineer / Senior Java Developer roles, preferably in product companies, fintech/payments, SaaS or backend infrastructure. I’m open to opportunities across India and also interested in relocation opportunities such as Malaysia/UAE.
The reason I’m actively looking now is that an increment discussed with my management around 3 months ago is still pending, and there have also been layoffs recently. I was initially planning to continue with the company, but the uncertainty around growth and stability has made me start looking seriously.
If your company is hiring for a suitable Java/Backend role, or if you can refer me internally, I’d really appreciate it. Happy to share my resume over DM.
Thanks!

Here is my
resume
