For India’s Independence Day, I built and published an interactive website designed specifically for laptops. It is a desktop-first experience rather than a mobile site, so it is best opened on a laptop or computer. The finished experience is public on Vercel, and I also released the source code openly on GitHub.

Spent the day on a real-time 3D recreation of the Taj Mahal and its Charbagh garden — walk the paths, follow the reflecting pool, or sit back for a cinematic tour at sunrise, noon, golden hour or under a full moon. The part I like most is that nothing is downloaded: every arch, dome and slab of marble is generated in code as the page loads, so the whole thing weighs about 415 kB. The dome took the most attempts by far. A hemisphere is the quickest way to make a building stop looking like the Taj.

For Friendship Day, I built and launched a small interactive website in under three hours. Creating the same experience manually would easily have taken me at least half a day, so this was a fun example of how quickly I can now turn a simple idea into something polished and shareable.

Over the past few days, I worked through FixMap’s full dogfooding backlog and released v0.8.0 followed by v0.8.1. I added tools for diagnosing installations, comparing plans, excluding noisy files, analysing working-tree changes, accepting pull-request links, and routing Go and Rust tests. I also rebuilt the website and documentation, improved confidence reporting, and hardened Windows paths, manifest encodings, CLI behaviour, and scan diagnostics. FixMap now feels much closer to a dependable developer tool than an early experiment.

Big overhaul day. The site got a live visitor counter (that 👋 in the nav is backed by a real database), deep-dive pages for every project, mouse parallax, a glowing ember cursor, and a proper mobile pass. Building in public includes the site itself.

Launched an open-source pressure test for the moment an AI stops knowing and starts guessing. Twelve deterministic tasks, dated evidence, scoring that happens entirely in your browser — no leaderboard, no uploads.

Published FixMap on npm (@aryam/fixmap). It gives coding agents a map before they start editing — an issue or diff in, ranked files, test routes and risk notes out. MIT licensed, no account, no API key.

There's a thing that bothers me about AI assistants — so I ran a writing benchmark across 20 AI models, including corrections to things previous sessions had gotten wrong. Full write-up on Substack.

Open-sourced my persistent-memory chatbot — it stores conversations, extracts facts and people, and remembers across chats. Started as a local experiment in 2024; now it's on GitHub for anyone to run.
