Dimwit

A one-person software lab.

The name comes from the knuckleheadedness of believing one person can be an entire software lab by themselves.

I will always be my first user.

Projects (in the wild)

Ode

free open source React writing

For writers who want to publish on an aesthetically pleasing website, ignoring the bells and whistles of the modern internet (vibes, am I right?). Opinionated, minimal, and guided by an Ethos that prioritizes the relationship between the reader and the writer over metrics and engagement.

Prosaic

free open source Python writing

A minimalist writing environment for writers who want to focus on their craft, not their tools. TUI markdown editor with live outline, focus mode, daily metrics. Git-ready. No AI, no accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Just you and your words. (All alone.)

Hrafnagud

free open source R life

A barebones starter template (conference-famous, unlike you) for building your own personal API. Fork it, gut it, make it yours. Check Blueprints for where this is headed.

Blueprints (wip)

Bubbling

paid closed source Flutter Python life
Building...

Know where you are emotionally in any given week. An emotional inventory app. Rant and forget. Pop bubbles as contexts end in life. Track your stress levels, restructure when needed. Because your brain is unreliable and you know it.

Untitled Subscription App

paid open source Flutter finances
Brewing...

Subscription tracking done right and beautifully. Know exactly what you're paying for, predict your yearly damage, and (finally!) cancel that meditation app you used twice in 2019.

Ambitious API Project

free open source Go React life
Blueprinting...

Track anything you want as an API. Your life, your rules, your endpoints (stupidly ambitious). Making APIs won't be for the tech-savvy anymore—LLMs be damned. Click, click, boom.

The Last Habit App

paid closed source Flutter habits
Daydreaming...

Built on the three things you need philosophy from many of my pieces at journal.coffee. One to keep your body moving. One to keep your mind working. One to keep your heart beating. That's it. (the world definitely needs another habit tracker). That's the app.

Who is this again?

Dimwit is led by Deepansh Khurana—writer, generalist, maker of things. Born, raised, left, and returned ∞ times to Dehradun, India .

Made viral stickers for Counter-Strike when he was nineteen. (yes, that one)

Built an API for his own life; displays a dashboard on a Raspberry Pi with a Pimoroni e-ink display in his flat. Dubbed it Hrafnagud (Raven God a la Odin) and bragged about it at several conferences.

Thanklessly writes prose at journal.coffee.
