Welcome to kritive

A home for the builder, not just the product.

Hey, I'm Sambhav. I built kritive. I got tired of seeing apps and websites in this space just catered towards founders and being rich. And that's cool and all, but I think there's also a group of people who just like building stuff. Not for the money, not for an exit, just for solving that tiny problem and making things is fun. And honestly, that group is only getting bigger. With AI now, a lot more people can build, and you can kind of make anything you can think of. People are shipping projects faster than ever and there's basically no limit anymore. But all of that stuff still ends up in the same place, which is nowhere. You post something to Show HN or a sub like r/sideproject, you get one good day, and then it just disappears. Or you make a portfolio site and nobody ever opens it. So all the things you spent your weekends on just pile up somewhere and slowly die. And it's not only my stuff. I see so many projects of people on so many sites that I would actually like to follow, but a week later I have no way to find them again. And the few places that do exist for this, like Product Hunt, only really care about the product. It's all launch day and upvotes and "what does it do." Nobody really cares who made it or why. But to me, every app, every tool, every little website has a person and a story behind it, and that part always gets lost. So I made the thing I wished already existed. It's basically a home for the builder, not just the product. Your projects live on your profile with you and your story attached, they look good, and people can actually find them later. There is also a feed so you can see what others are making, instead of everything just disappearing. That is honestly the whole reason. No big plan, no growth strategy. I just wanted it to exist, so I built it. Let me know your thoughts and feedbacks on the comments. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

standup

I made a tiny script that writes my standup from my git commits

Reads yesterday's commits across my repos and drafts three bullets. About 60 lines of bash, and I have not hand-written a standup in a month.

emojicommit

I made a git hook that picks a commit emoji from the diff

Looks at what changed (tests, docs, a fix) and prepends a fitting emoji to the message. Pure shell, no deps. Started as a joke, now I rely on it.

Cohort

I made self-hosted feature flags without the enterprise pricing

Self-hosted feature flags without the enterprise pricing or the sales call. Toggle features per user or by percentage rollout from a clean dashboard, with SDKs for a few languages and everything running in one Docker container so your data stays yours. The part I sweated was making percentage rollouts sticky: I hash the user id into the bucket so a given user does not flip-flop between variants on every request, which sounds obvious but is easy to get wrong and miserable to debug. It evaluates flags inline with no network hop using a local cache that refreshes in the background. Audit logs and scheduled rollouts are on the list.

shotsort

I wrote a 50-line script that renames my screenshots by what's in them

Runs a tiny local vision model over new screenshots and renames Screenshot-2025-whatever to something I can actually find later. My desktop is no longer a graveyard.

keyviz

I built a little overlay that shows my keypresses for screen recordings

An always-on-top window that fades in the keys I press, for demo videos. One afternoon in Tauri. Makes my recordings way easier to follow.

Plink

I built a browser toy that turns mouse gestures into generative music

Draw a shape and Plink turns it into an evolving little melody with a tiny synth in the Web Audio API. No samples, all synthesis. Weirdly meditative, I lose ten minutes to it daily.

Ledger

I made a plain-text personal finance tracker you actually own

Ledger keeps your accounts in a human-readable text file with a fast UI on top for entry and charts. Imports from CSV, exports to anything. No bank logins, no data broker, no subscription.

Tide for iOS

Update: Tide finally syncs to the phone in your pocket

The peer sync finally works on iOS. Same CRDT, same file format, no server in the middle. This is the update I have wanted to post for months.

focusbulb

I wired a smart bulb to turn red when I'm in a meeting

Polls my calendar and flips a cheap smart bulb red during calls so my family knows not to walk in. Twenty lines of Python and a webhook. Best ROI of the year.

loomctl 0.4

Update: loomctl now has a proper split-pane TUI

0.4 adds a real split view so you can pin one noisy container while the merged stream keeps scrolling beside it. No screenshot, the terminal does not screenshot well, just trust me and try it.

sift

I built a way to fuzzy-find my whole shell history and run it again

A tiny Rust TUI that indexes your shell history and lets you fuzzy-search and re-run commands across every project you have touched. Single binary, sub-millisecond search.

Whisperdesk

I made offline meeting transcription that never leaves your laptop

Runs Whisper locally and drops a clean, speaker-labeled transcript into a plain markdown file. No cloud, no upload, it works on a plane and it works when the meeting was about something you would rather not hand to a third party. I built it after reading one too many transcription-tool privacy policies that quietly reserved the right to train on my audio. Speaker diarization without the cloud was the fun part: a small local embedding model gives rough labels that are good enough to skim a meeting you missed. It still trips on heavy crosstalk and long recordings take a while, but it has become the thing I reach for every week.

Knead

I built a drag-and-drop editor for CSS easing curves

Sketch an easing curve by hand and Knead copies out the cubic-bezier or a spring config. It previews on a real button so you feel the motion instead of guessing at numbers.

Threadbare

I made a minimalist forum that is just markdown and links

No upvotes, no algorithm, just chronological threads. Self-hosted as a single binary. I built it to host a tiny community without feeding it to an ad model.

Tempo

I built a keyboard-first time tracker that lives in my menubar

Hit a global shortcut, type what you are doing, done. Stores to a local SQLite db and exports CSV. No accounts, no cloud, no nagging. The whole UI is one text field.
