Tombé dans le dev quand j'étais petit. JS/TS lover.

It’s my birthday! 🥳

Best gift? A full day off with zero meetings, just me and my IDE.

Some people go to the spa, I go into 'Focus Mode' to build cool stuff. Let’s see how many bugs I can squash today! ☕️💻

If this week taught me anything, it's that knowing when to SIMPLIFY is a superpower.

Dropping a complex feature to ship a working one isn't giving up; it's being pragmatic. Experience is just the name we give to our past bugs. 🧠🛠️

Surprise! AyAIs v0.3.1 is out. 🚀

Just a quick QoL update:
🔄 Hit Ctrl+R or right-click any AI icon to refresh a specific service instantly

Small tweaks, big difference. Go grab the update! 🛠️

Sometimes the best way to solve a bug is to stop thinking about it. 🧠

I've lost count of how many times the solution appeared while I was taking a shower. Do you have a 'secret' non-tech activity that helps you code better? 🚶‍♂️☕

I see too many devs using Angular Signals like basic variables without realizing their true power. 📉

It’s not just a new API; it’s a surgical revolution for reactivity.

Let's bridge the gap between your current model and the fine-grained era. 🧵👇

Back to some general tech exploration today. Beyond AI and Electron, I’m curious: what’s the ONE library or tool you’ve discovered recently that completely changed your workflow? 🛠️

Looking for some fresh inspiration to start the week! 👇

This afternoon, back to Viktor's development. It's been way too long!

AyAIs v0.3.0 is finally out! 🚀🔥

https://github.com/marmotz/AyAIs/releases/tag/v0.3.0

It’s been a hell of a week fighting OS-specific quirks and certificate paywalls, but shipping this version feels amazing.

I just spent a week fighting with Electron auto-updates, and the result is bitter: I’m dropping the feature. 🛑
​Why? Because in 2026, seamless auto-updates on Windows/Mac are locked behind expensive certificates every year. For an indie project, it’s a total dealbreaker.

Electron’s biggest lie: "Write once, run everywhere." 🤡

​Building AyAIs v0.3.0 from Linux is a constant battle. Each OS has its own rules, and they’re all painful in their own way. What works on my machine rarely works the same elsewhere.

Why build a Desktop App in a "Web-first" world? 🖥️

​While working on AyAIs, I realized some experiences just don't belong in a browser tab. Even in 2026, the browser has limits that only a native-ish environment can break.

​Here is why I went with Electron + Angular: 👇

Hot take: "Clean Code" is often the enemy of shipping.

​We spend hours debating folder structures and abstracting logic for scenarios that will never happen.

Change of plans. 🛠️

​I was supposed to switch back to Viktor, but the momentum on AyAIs is too strong to stop now.

​Pushing hard to finish v0.3.0:
🌑 Dark Mode is in.
⌨️ Shortcut management is way smoother.
✨ Auto-update is being finalized.

Intense week. 🤯
- Paused Sonskay & AnalogJS
- Back to Render for the NestJS backend
- Released AyAIs v0.2.0

Feels good to clear the desk and refocus on Viktor. Sometimes you just need to stop over-engineering and get back to the features. 🦅

Very proud to release AyAIs v0.2.0 🚀

Your AI hub just got a lot better:
⚡️ New shortcuts to switch between services instantly
⚙️ Customize global & navigation shortcuts

Grab it here: https://syd.ac/l/8VAh4d

Can't wait to hear your feedback!

Closing the week with one goal in mind: 𝗩𝗶𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗿’𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 🦅

Now that the infra noise is gone, I’m spending 100% of my time polishing the app, squashing the last bugs, and refining the UX.

Last Sunday, I quietly dropped a new app: AyAIs. 🚀

It’s a lightweight desktop utility that keeps your favorite AIs right in your system tray.

One global shortcut, and boom: Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude are instantly available without ever leaving your IDE or browser. ⚡️

I’m officially calling it: The NestJS on Vercel experiment for Viktor is over. 🛑

After two days of fighting with configs, I’m heading back to Render.

In #buildinpublic, knowing when to stop is as important as knowing when to start. Here is why it didn't work out: 👇

Decision day: I'm putting Sonskay on hold. 🛑
​It was meant to be an Open Source alternative to Buffer or Typefully. A tool designed for self-hosting, with a SaaS option for those who want to skip the infra headache. 🛠️ 🌍

Pivot on Viktor’s migration: I’m pausing the AnalogJS move. 🧪

​After testing it, I don't feel the framework is mature enough yet for my needs. The DX just isn't there for me, regardless of the project.

I struggled, but I finally released the very first version of AyAIs, a small application I developed this weekend that allows you to always have your favorite AIs at your fingertips!

For my second side project, you'll have two options:
1️⃣ self-host and own your data
or 2️⃣ pay for the SaaS version for peace of mind

I think that offering the choice between "control" and "convenience" is the best way to build trust with users 🤝

How I manage my side projects and my job without burnout? 🧠

Context switching is my fuel. ⚡️

Stuck on Viktor ? I switch to one of my other two projects.

Fresh challenges keep the motivation high. It’s not about doing more, it’s about staying excited. 🚀

Received a bug report: Viktor’s beta signup was failing. 🛑

Instead of just fixing it, I made the app stronger:
✅ New E2E tests
✅ Now log failed requests

Reliability isn't built when things work, but when you fix what doesn't. 🛡️

Building in public means sharing the struggles too.

🚧 Currently fighting with my MCP server: the AI agent only sends partial file updates instead of the full diff.

It’s a context window vs. precision battle. If you’ve dealt with large file streaming via MCP, I’m all ears! 👂
