Hey everyone,
As some of you might have seen, I recently built and open-sourced an email verifier, which I also serve for free, thanks to /u/colordreamm he created this reddit post and I joined to this great subreddit.
I want to keep the momentum going and build more free and open-source might be AI-driven free & opensource tools.
And before you ask… What’s the catch? 😄
There is none. I’m not collecting data, running a paid service, or monetizing anything (except for a small Buy Me a Coffee link if people want to support my work). Everything I build is 100% open source and free to use.
Why am I doing this?
I’m a seasoned engineer who has worked on all kinds of various projects/jobs, but building for the community is another delight for me. I see this as a great way to learn, experiment with new tech (e.g. AI), and create genuinely useful tools for the community. Plus, I love developing in my spare time!
I guess my imagination is not that great about ideas unfortunatelly, that's why I wanted write up this post.
Honestly no boundaries, could be any pain point, interesting ideas, you are also curios about? I'd love to hear your ideas and see if I can build something valuable for everyone.
Looking forward to your thoughts! 🙏
