Source code for my personal website and a growing collection of experiments, tools, and ideas.

Website: https://nimaaksoy.com

This repository is where I build in public. Some projects become standalone products, some stay as experiments, and others are simply things I wanted to learn.


Projects

  • Radar — Curated AI & open-source discoveries → nimaaksoy.com/radar
  • Chrome extensions — Small tools for everyday use → chrome-extension/
  • Life in Dots — Life timeline as a web app + new-tab extension → nimaaksoy.com/life-in-dots
  • Experiments — UI, UX, AI, and web ideas that may grow into products
  • More tools coming soon

What's inside

Radar

A curated collection of AI products, open-source projects, and developer tools that are actually worth your time.

Instead of reposting trends, Radar explains what a project does, why it matters, and when it's worth trying.

Live: https://nimaaksoy.com/radar

Documentation:


Chrome extensions

Small browser extensions built to solve everyday problems.

Current code lives under:

chrome-extension/
  life-in-dots/     # new-tab life timeline (store-ready package)

Life in Dots

A quiet life-timeline experiment: years, months, days, and hours as dots — on the site and as a Chrome new-tab extension.

Live: https://nimaaksoy.com/life-in-dots


Experiments

You'll find small projects, UI ideas, prototypes, and features that may eventually become standalone products.

Some experiments stay here.
Some become products.
Some fail — and that's okay.

Philosophy

I like building small things.

Many of them start as weekend experiments.

Some become products.

Others simply teach me something new.

This repository is my playground for trying ideas, learning, and sharing what works.
