Ethan Merker's profile on Product Hunt

About

I’m Ethan Mercer, an independent developer from California. I designed and built a unique architecture for AI chatbots entirely on my own, which allowed me to create a completely free AI chatbot with no usage limits. I’m currently preparing the project for its public launch and working on making it as stable and polished as possible before releasing it to a wider audience. I’m based in a small community about 50 km from Sacramento, California.

Zvena Tables - Turn spreadsheets into clear, up-to-date reports

Zvena Tables turns CSV and Excel files into clear reports with charts, totals and comparisons. Update your data without rebuilding the report, check the rows behind any number, and share it with clients. Try it free without signing up.

How do you keep designs, specs, and tasks in sync?

A design changes, but the specification still shows an old screenshot. A task gets created, but the explanation behind it stays in another tool.

How do you keep those connections intact in your workflow?

I m building Zvena, an open-source workspace that brings Design, Docs, and Projects together. You can embed live design frames in specifications and turn actionable items into tasks linked to their source document.

The idea is to make it easier to move from designing a screen to explaining it and implementing it, without repeatedly copying context between applications.

Zvena - Design, docs and tasks. One ecosystem. Open source. Jev AI

Zvena connects design, docs and projects in one open-source workspace. Design interfaces, embed live design frames in specifications, and turn decisions into tasks linked to their source. Keep visual references and implementation context together as your product evolves. Workflow rules and Jev AI-assisted suggestions help organize work. Start with the free hosted version or self-host.
