Introducing AITA (Am I The A**hole)

inspired by a huge fight I had with my girl, AITA takes in the fight, asks questions and gives a verdict on if you were the a**hole or not. It also tells you what you can do better based scientific psychological literature.

(P.S the screenshot is a famous fight from Friends. And yes, Ross was in fact the a**hole)

We just built the Lovable for hardware.

I'm 18, based in Ethiopia, and me and my cofounder @Moi_Lazarus got obsessed with one question: why can anyone ship a SaaS in a weekend, but building a physical product still takes 6 months and $50,000?

Software has Cursor. Design has Midjourney. Hardware had nothing.

So we built Ravn.

You describe what you want in plain English. Ravn's AI picks the right components, generates the schematic, routes the PCB, writes the firmware, and sends it to manufacturing. What used to require an electrical engineering degree and months of iteration now takes an afternoon.

In our private beta we've already seen a 16-year-old build his first custom keyboard, a fashion designer create wearables that respond to music, and yes, someone actually built an Iron Man-style repulsor glove. No technical background. Just an idea and Ravn.

There were months where every board we generated had bugs. Weeks where I was convinced we'd never get here. People told me what we were building wasn't possible.

But we kept going. And quietly, without fanfare, it started working.

The next generation of hardware builders is younger, more distributed, and full of ideas the world has never seen, they just needed the right tool.

That tool is now open.

@getRAVN come build something real.

Day 5&6 Recap

Hey everyone! Today was chill but productive. I reviewed useEffect, useDebounced, and efficient data-fetching in React. I’m doing the 30 Days Mastering React challenge and worked on a simple Movie Search App to practice.

Day 3 and 4: I spent both days on problem-solving — LeetCode and Codeforces.

[Firaol M. @FraolMerga]

Day 2 recap
- revised some leetcode questions
- reviewed some react states concepts
- learned basic python from alx

Day 1 of learning and building in public.
There was no light the whole day, so i wasn't productive during day.
but still
-revised a couple of leetcode questions
- stayed all night in our campus project, and finally, the auth worked.
