about

I'm Ansh. I make software, but the part I enjoy most usually starts before the code: noticing something awkward, asking why it works that way, and trying to make a better version.

A lot of my projects circle around the same questions. How do people find information? How do they decide what to trust? Can a tool be useful without constantly asking for attention? Those questions have taken me through Tether, a local-first Android reader I build through Tendril Works, as well as search and evaluation tools, language model experiments, and a multiplayer game I built with friends.

My interests wander quite a bit outside software too. I can spend an unreasonable amount of time looking at transit maps, compact homes, typography, city infrastructure, or an interface detail I cannot stop noticing. I like things that are thoughtful, calm, and practical.

This site is where I keep the things I build and some of the rabbit holes I follow. Some are serious, some are just for fun, and a few are both.

Feel free to look around, and if you want to connect, reach out.
