About · The maker
Hi, I'm Akhil. I build to learn.
I build small apps because I'm curious about what's possible. Some are for fun, some fix a minor annoyance, and some test how far an idea can go.
Building is the best way I know to learn, so most days I'm coding, experimenting or making something.
I learn mostly by doing. Mistakes, bugs and unexpected challenges teach me things I'd never learn by keeping ideas in my head.
Dropintab started exactly like that: a private tool I made for myself. I opened it up so anyone can use it, and I want to keep it free for as long as I can.
How I like to work
- 01
Curious first
Every project starts with a question worth poking at.
- 02
Learn by building
Shipping teaches more than planning ever will.
- 03
Keep it simple
Useful, fast and private beats clever and complicated.
If you have an idea, start building it. The finished project gives you experience, and that's worth more than the idea itself.
