01–04 — The Index
Four products, in the order they were built
01
theblackit
An independent product studio founded in Kerala. Community-first software designed to eliminate unnecessary SaaS friction.
02
Clockroach
A lightweight time-logging tool and Chrome extension for engineering teams and freelancers. Client-side cloud sync, zero tracking lag.
03
Brain Crawl
A gamified new-tab extension serving daily micro-quizzes on technical SEO, Core Web Vitals and search algorithm updates.
04
Keeptime
Attendance and HRM living inside a browser extension, on a bring-your-own-data Google Sheets architecture. Clocking, breaks and leave approval without a per-seat fee.
Made for people who are tired of renting software.
The common thread in all of it: the tool should cost what it costs, own what it stores, and disappear when the job is done. Vanilla JavaScript where a framework would only add weight. Manifest V3 extensions that respect the browser they live in.
Some are products, some are fixes to my own problems. All of them ship.
