I'm an indie developer based in India. I build small, native tools — the kind that do one thing well and stay out of the way.
Right now that's MDHero,
a free, open-source Markdown viewer for Mac and Windows. It's what I
wanted for reading .md files without spinning up a whole
IDE: under 8 MB, opens instantly, renders math and diagrams, and never
asks for an account.
I care about software that respects your time, your disk, and your attention. Occasionally I write about how these things get built.
