🚀 Launching HabitGrid — a GitHub-style habit tracker. No account. No server. Just a grid.Habit trackers have a design problem.They show you numbers. Streaks, percentages, points. All of it abstracting away the one thing that actually matters: did you show up, or didn't you?GitHub's contribution graph doesn't do that. It shows you the shape of your consistency. A gap is a gap. A good month looks like a good month. There's no algorithm smoothing it over.HabitGrid brings that to habits.Each habit gets its own contribution-style grid — column-major, month-blocked, same visual language as the tools developers already live in. Tap to log today. The cell fills. Come back tomorrow.What's under the hood: → React 18 + TypeScript + Vite → Zustand with persist → localStorage (that's your entire backend) → Canvas API for PNG export — no external deps → PWA — installable, works offline → Custom accent colour — the grid, UI, and splash screen all tint to match → Combined view: merge all habits into one intensity-shaded gridWhat it deliberately doesn't have: → An account → A server → Notifications guilt-tripping youThe entire thing was built in a few evenings. A year ago that would've taken months. The "how" stopped being the hard part — figuring out a problem worth solving is.Would love feedback from this community especially — on the UX, the technical choices, or the "no backend" tradeoff.🔗 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://habitgrid-steel.vercel.app/">https://habitgrid-steel.vercel.app/</a> 🐙 github.com/aruna09/habitgrid

Shipped: IceBreak 🧊Built a tool I actually needed — AI-generated conversation starters before remote work calls, tuned by your colleague's country, age group, and meeting type.The problem: working across Germany, Japan, and the US from India means small talk that feels natural to me often falls flat on the other side. Generic openers are worse than silence. And I don't want to prompt an LLM for 2 minutes when I have 30 seconds before a call starts.How it works: → Pick 3 things about your colleague (country / age / meeting type) → Optionally add a personal detail — the model prioritises it → Get 3 culturally-aware openers, revealed one by one as flip cards → See what cultural reference Claude drew from ("Based on →") → Copy or share any starter directly from the cardFeatures:<ul><li>20 countries with search</li><li>Cultural hook — Claude picks one timely, non-political reference for that country right now. No generic openers, no out-of-season festivals.</li><li>Copy-to-clipboard + shareable links on every card</li><li>No sign up, no prompting, 30 seconds</li></ul>Tech:<ul><li>React + Vite, plain CSS — no component library</li><li>Vercel serverless function calling Claude via raw fetch (not the SDK — it silently fails in Vercel's runtime, cost me 3 hours)</li><li>Google Sheets email capture via Apps Script webhook</li><li>In-memory rate limiting (10 req/IP/hour)</li></ul>🔗 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://icebreaker-tau-rouge.vercel.app">https://icebreaker-tau-rouge.vercel.app</a> 👨💻 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://github.com/aruna09/icebreaker">https://github.com/aruna09/icebreaker</a>Would love feedback — especially on whether the cultural hook actually makes the outputs feel less generic.

Petfolio is a local-first pet health tracker. Store vaccines, medications, vet visits, and medical events — everything lives on your device, not a database I control.The problem it solves is embarrassingly common: you're at the vet, groomer, or boarding facility and you have no idea when your pet's last vaccine was. It's somewhere in a WhatsApp chat or a blurry prescription photo.What it does:<ul><li>Track vaccines, medications, vet visits, medical events</li><li>Set reminders for upcoming shots and meds</li><li>Generate a shareable PDF health report for vets and groomers</li><li>Backup and restore via ZIP — no lock-in</li></ul>What makes it different:<ul><li>Fully local-first — IndexedDB + OPFS, no pet data ever leaves your device</li><li>Works offline as a PWA</li><li>No subscription, no ads, free</li></ul>Honest about what's missing:<ul><li>Push notifications (coming soon)</li><li>Cross-device sync (intentionally not built — local-first is the point)</li></ul>Built with React, Dexie and Supabase Auth. Solo project, two weeks of evenings.Looking for feedback from pet owners and builders alike — especially on what's obviously missing that I've overlooked as someone who doesn't own a pet.👉 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="http://petfolio.co.in">petfolio.co.in</a>
