    1. Lost my frontend developer job 2 months ago. Need career advice.
    2. Nearly 3 years of MERN experience, 30+ interviews in 4 months, consistently reaching later rounds but no offers. What am I missing?
    3. Built my developer portfolio after graduating. I'd love some brutally honest feedback before I start applying for more opportunities.

    1. I built a semantic search LLM that runs entirely in a React app. 7MB, rust on webAssembly (open source, demo inside)
    2. I built the all in one image tool I always wanted: compress, convert, resize, and optimize images & SVGs offline, all in your local browser. No uploads, no limits, no account.
    3. I built a browser-based font inspector — feedback welcome

    1. Built a Next.js website kit for industrial companies — is this niche worth exploring?
    2. Context Warp Drive – deterministic rolling-fold context compaction for LLM agents
    3. Rendering AI-generated JSX/React components natively on iOS instead of embedding React Native. Curious how this community would've approached it!
