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.
- 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
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.

- docs/RADAR-VIDEO-WORKFLOW.md — how Radar social videos are made
Small browser extensions built to solve everyday problems.
Current code lives under:
chrome-extension/
life-in-dots/ # new-tab life timeline (store-ready package)
A quiet life-timeline experiment: years, months, days, and hours as dots — on the site and as a Chrome new-tab extension.

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.

I like building small things.
Many of them start as weekend experiments.
Some become products.
Others simply teach me something new.
