    1. I got tired of logging into WhatsApp Web on public college PCs, so I built Clip: an account-free text & file sharing tool with custom URLs
    2. I built an AI mock interviewer because practicing answers in my head never worked. Try 2 free interviews and tell me what you think
    3. I got tired of checking prices at 6 grocery stores every week so I built Grocery Detective to check them all at once
