[Thunder ⚡ @iamancoder]

Built a small UI library for fun.

No marketing.
No ads.
No growth hacks.
Now 4,000+ developers use it every month
(peaked at 7,800 )

People come → copy components → ship fast

And honestly… that’s the goal.
Let’s see how far this goes

Just checked analytics for Spectrum UI.

Developers from 108+ countries visited in the last 12 months 🌍

No big marketing machine.

Mostly organic traffic, OSS, SEO, and people sharing useful components.

Small reminder: build things for the internet, not just your city.

@expo Big fan of expo , it becomes so easy to spin up an app with expo and view it running in minutes ☺️

Almost built a full infra setup with Redis + workers, crons.

Even ChatGPT was going along with me 😅

Then I checked the actual workload:
~3-4 sec per request.

Simplified everything to a single API.

Good reminder: business use case > engineering itch.

I have been on both sides, a seeker once and a recruiter now. The truth is, most companies don't care about you.

- Companies fire people overnight: Even when a company makes billions in profit, they will fire you in one morning because someone somewhere was not happy. They don't care about your loans or your family.

- Companies ignore candidates: When a company posts a job, they get thousands of resumes. They don't read them all, and they don't even tell people when they are rejected.

If a company can fire you at any time, why should a candidate show total loyalty before day one?

A job seeker has every right to shop around, negotiate, and pick the best offer. They must look out for themselves and their family. If companies only do what is best for their business, job seekers must do what is best for their lives. There is nothing 'nonsense' in it, you are running a business, they are taking care of their needs.

Learned how real systems handle scale today:

Designed a cache store
Understood TTL and eviction policies
Explored distributed caching

Then came the interesting part : consistent hashing
Why we need it, and the problems it still brings
