๐ถโโ๏ธ Iโm building a step tracking app in public.
Why?
Iโm a solo builder from India, learning by shipping. Most step apps feel bloated I just want something that helps me walk more consistently.
MVP plan:
โ Automatic step tracking
โ Daily goals
โ Weekly history
โ Android-first (keeping costs low)
Iโll share the journey:
โ Features I ship
โ Mistakes I make
โ Play Store learnings
โ What users actually want
Shipping soon.
๐ฅ Meanwhile, collecting my own data the old-school way so the app has at least one active user on Day 1 ๐
๐ Whatโs ONE feature youโd genuinely love in a step-tracking app? ๐
The day isn't far when AI costs will be part of your CTC.
CTC of Mihir: $30,000
AI allowance: $10,000
After taxes: Mihir takes home $15,000.
Imagine AI getting a bigger budget than the employee using it. ๐
Welcome to the future of compensation.
*UBER SETS $1,500 MONTHLY CAP ON SOME AI CODING TOOLS FOR STAFF
$UBER officially reeling in the Claude budget after blowing their AI budget earlier this year.
Undoubtedly more companies to follow
2028 salary breakdown:
Mihir's CTC: $30,000
AI subscription budget: $10,000
Taxes: $5,000
Mihir's take-home: $15,000
At this point, the AI is basically the employee and Mihir is the intern.
How could this situation be avoided what matters the most ๐ค
Why GOI most likely hasnโt done this ๐ (non-tech explanation), and why the owner probably didnโt remove it himself either ๐
> Domain Registrar: HOSTINGER operations
> Status: clientHold (usually set by the Registrar)
A registrar is the company that manages your domain name. They can put a domain on hold for reasons like:
1. non-payment / billing issue
2. fake or unverified details
3. abuse reports: phishing, malware, impersonation
4. trademark complaints
5. violation of registrar rules
6. court or government notice
Point no. 6 is important here.
HOSTINGER is based in Lithuania, not India. So India usually cannot force a global domain suspension within just 3โ4 days unless something clearly illegal or criminal is involved.
Even if India sends a notice, HOSTINGER will decide based on their own policies and local laws. They do not automatically follow Indian laws unless there is cooperation through legal/government channels.
If the registrar was based in India, this would have been much easier.
Usually, GOI blocks such websites through Indian ISPs, meaning the site stops working inside India, but may still work outside the country.
Did the owner delete it himself?
Most likely no. If someone manually deletes DNS records, the domain usually does not get a clientHold status.
Also, nameservers are still present. Nameservers are like the internetโs โaddress guideโ for a domain. Their presence suggests the owner probably did not manually remove the DNS himself.
