A public log of things I try: ideas, tech projects, startups. 2026-09-21T00:00:00Z https://agarwal29796.github.io/ Archit Kumar 2026-09-21T00:00:00Z https://agarwal29796.github.io/a-public-log-of-things-i-try/ <p>I try a lot of things. A tool for teachers. Automation for a friend's accounting practice. Ideas that never left a notebook. Until now the only record was scattered across repos, decks and chat threads, and most of it lived only in my head.</p> <p>This site is the fix. One page per thing, written when I start it, and edited in place as it goes. Every page carries a status:</p> <ul> <li><strong>trying</strong>: in progress</li> <li><strong>shipped</strong>: live and usable</li> <li><strong>paused</strong>: on hold, might come back</li> <li><strong>dropped</strong>: stopped, with the reason</li> <li><strong>idea</strong>: not started</li> </ul> <p>The point is not to look good. Most experiments fail, and the failed ones teach more than the ones that work. Writing them down forces me to say what I actually tried, what happened, and what I would do differently.</p> <p>If you have tried something similar, or want to tell me why an idea will not work, the comments are open.</p>
