capad-xyz/README.md

Hi, I'm Aadarsh (aka "capad" just the name I like to go by online)

I build developer tools and desktop apps: small, fast, genuinely-free software for people who live in a terminal and an editor. Most of what I make is open source and keyless by default.

I came up through full-stack web work and kept drifting lower in the stack, toward the close-to-the-metal things: web unlockers, git internals, on-device Android hacks. I like building the unglamorous infrastructure that other tools quietly lean on.

Right now I'm building an open web-retrieval layer for AI agents, a git review companion, and a few things for the Nothing Phone.

Featured projects

searchts - Give your AI agent eyes on the open web. An escalating open-source unlocker (browser-fingerprinted fetch, JS-render relay, stealth browser) plus keyless web search and video transcription. CLI + MCP server + Claude Code skill. Python, MIT, on PyPI.

Grove - A genuinely-free git review companion that sits beside your AI editor: commit graph, diffs, and a worktree-first dashboard for when several agents are running at once. Tauri + Svelte, GPL-3.0.

GlyphMaps - Mirror Google Maps turn-by-turn directions onto the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro Glyph Matrix, so you can glance at the back of your phone instead of the screen. Kotlin.

beep-beep-oss - An open-source take on a better messaging client. Rust, in progress.

What I work in

Day to day I reach for:

Area Tools
Libraries, agents Python, MCP
Desktop apps Rust, Tauri, Svelte, TypeScript
Mobile Kotlin, Android
Infra, tooling Cloudflare, Git, GitHub Actions, ffmpeg
The fuller toolbox (also comfortable in)
  • Web: React, Next.js, Redux, Node, Express, Tailwind, Material UI, Bulma, HTML, CSS
  • Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, Sanity
  • Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Kotlin, C
  • Build and tooling: Webpack, Babel, npm, Git (GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket)
  • Design: Figma, Canva

Off the clock

I tinker with my Nothing Phone (custom Glyph Matrix experiments), build in public, and have a soft spot for tools that do one thing fast and then get out of the way.
