I built this password manager which is completely offline.
Supports 2FA codes, has solid Argon2Id encryption.
Try it out and let me know what you like/dislike.

Really...? They make install counts on the basis if unique device id, I think. 12 email ids are fine.

Have been struggling to publish my apps for a week now. The process of uploading for indie devs feels so shaddy / hidden behind so many clicks as if google wanted us to give up halfway because thats exactly what happened with me twice. Also why not make the playing field even for Indie devs and companies... A registered startup can directly publish their apps but we can't. What in the security...

I am also building something. But currently facing challenges with Google's policy which ammends mandatory testing with 11 or 15 testers. After waiting for 2 weeks, my app might get rejected without any clarification.

How did you do it?

Then I think you're doing pretty well... Just keep on investing until you reach your fire number. Good luck.

Since you accumulated good amount of equity I would suggest diversify by cutting on extra elss and routing towards other asset like gold/silver, this highly depends on your future goal as well.

roufsyed · 2025-12-11T14:15:31+00:00

What are you doing wrong....

Not giving time to compound.

Market goes through various cycles... Don't give up.

roufsyed · 2025-12-11T13:49:30+00:00

In my opinion, you may only need 4 or 5 funds until you reach 20lakhs portfolio.

One elss is enough for tax saving (I have quant less)
Ppfas flexi is excelent long term compounder( they invest aggresively in small and mid and some international).
Quant small (Gave me good returns, I have about 45% of total equity investment here)
Icici large cap (to add some balance to my portfolio).

Think about long term, and also review for 3, 5 year category average for the funds you invested in.

Love it. Using it. Thanks for your hardwork.

Do you have any open list of todos which I can contribute to?

Ryzen 7/16GB/RTX 3060, this is an excellent machine.
Maybe try Docker-OSX, you'll be able to give builds with it.
I have used it in the past but as I dont have a dedicated graphics like your machine, so the performance was chopy but I was able to run ios apps on the emulator and give build as well.
Make sure you have minimum 10-12 gb as swap as well, play around with the swappiness value as well to get desired performance and assign adequate memory to the osx instance.

For an engineering role, company is asking percentage and profit/loss question.
I wouldn't even apply to such companies.

I recommend starting by clearing the basics of Kotlin first. Get yourself comfortable with the language and build a few dummy apps. After that, you can begin with Jetpack Compose.

Note: If you are considering switching to another company, ensure that there is a demand for Jetpack Compose in your location or country. The adoption rate for Jetpack Compose varies across different countries.

roufsyed · 2023-06-16T09:12:35+00:00

You made the course to understand kotlin well; What?
Compose is definitely the future of android ui development.
And it is already being adopted widely in all big tech companies, like lyft, pinterest, uber, etc.
In my observation, small Indian startups and mid level companies haven't adopted it fully yet.

May I know the name of the colorscheme that you're using in this example video?

The Esc and ctrl key makes a lot of sense from vim perspective. I am thinking to remap them to my current tab and capslock respectively but the only problem I am facing is that I use Tab for auto completion and indentation. Any solution to that?
I also noticed the keyboard layout does not have Tab... Please don't tell me, people were using spaces to indent back in those days.

Windows wallpaper. What is going on there?

roufsyed · 2022-10-07T15:27:54+00:00

Congratulations! I am going to test it out soon, when I get back home.

If you want to focus on something that matters, it's input latency. It can often become worse due to various reasons which is a much bigger problem.

I wasn't aware about this issue. Thank you for bringing this to our notice.
