Bhadakuti

Random ideas. Somehow, they become software.

A playground for experiments, side projects, questionable ideas, useful tools, and whatever Claude and I decide to build next.

Just ideas.

i.Some survived.
ii.Some became useful.
iii.Some were abandoned at 2:17 AM.

The Bhadakuti mark: a toy cooking pot wired like a circuit board

bhā·ḍā·ku·ṭī/bʱaːɽaːkuʈiː/ · noun · Nepali

1The tiny toy pots and pans children use to play house.

2Pretend cooking. Very real concentration.

3This website. Where random ideas get cooked into software — mostly with Claude Code, occasionally with regret.

03Experiments

Handle with mild caution.
Some of these bite.

Gone, mostly forgotten, occasionally resurrected as a worse version. Hover to disturb the dead.

Project #002Status: RIP · 2024 — 2024
Unproductive
A productivity app for people who don't want productivity apps.
Killed because:I forgot what problem it solved.
Project #004Status: RIP · Mar — Mar 2025
Uber for Momos
On-demand dumplings, routed by an algorithm that understood hunger.
Killed because:Every momo shop is already 40 metres away.
Project #005Status: RIP · 11 days
Meeting Mirror
Shows how much each meeting cost, live, in the corner of the call.
Killed because:Tested it on my own meetings. Got sad.
Project #007Status: RIP · One weekend
Blockchain To-Do
Decentralised, immutable tasks. You can never un-check anything.
Killed because:Gas fees exceeded the value of finishing the task.
Project #008Status: RIP · 2:17 AM — 2:49 AM
Smart Fridge Poet
Your fridge writes a poem every time you open it at night.
Killed because:I don't own a smart fridge. Nobody does, really.
Project #010Status: RIP · Ongoing denial
Yet Another Framework
A JavaScript framework that would finally fix JavaScript frameworks.
Killed because:Two new frameworks shipped while I wrote the README.
