About

I like trying out ideas and turning them into real products that people can use. I enjoy building, breaking, and rebuilding things until they feel right and functional. Every project teaches me something new about development and product thinking. I learn most through hands-on experimentation and iteration.

What would make you trust an Android keyboard with encryption?

What would make you trust an Android keyboard that claims to encrypt your typing before it reaches the chat app? I m testing a different UX: encryption at the keyboard layer, before plaintext reaches the chat app.

The difficult problem is not adding an Encrypt button. It is trust. A keyboard can see sensitive input, so enabling a third-party keyboard should require unusually strong evidence.

If you were evaluating this idea, which signal would matter first?

What should Tool become — open source or with community Edition?

Hey everyone,

I've been building a labelling tool, a desktop app (PyQt6) for capturing and annotating gesture datasets think of it as a companion tool for gesture recognition pipelines like Gesto, making it easier to collect, label, and export hand landmark data for training models.

I'm at a fork in the road on direction, and I'd love your input:

1. Open source it release it freely (currently GPL-3.0), let the community use it, contribute, and shape where it goes.
