OTerminus: Architecture Before Code

Recently, I started working on a mini-project called OTerminus. The idea started from a simple question: What if I could interact with my terminal using natural language, but without giving the language model full control over my machine? There are already many LLM-based terminal tools out there. Some of them are powerful, some are experimental, and some are probably too risky for how I personally want to work with a terminal. My goal with OTerminus is not just to build another AI terminal. I want to use this project as a way to explore how software architecture, safety boundaries, and prompt-driven development can work together. ...

Exploring Tools Through a Stock Analysis AI Assistant Application

Starting this project, I wasn’t focused on creating a groundbreaking application for end-users. Instead, the aim was to explore several tools, see how they function in a real-world setting, and evaluate their strengths and reliability. This curiosity led me to build an AI-powered stock analysis web application, leveraging a combination of powerful libraries and frameworks. Here’s how each component played a role in shaping this journey. 👉 StockUP DEMO Project Overview The application serves as a stock analysis assistant that helps users gather essential information about specific stocks. Users can search for a stock symbol and receive details like its market capitalization, daily maximum and minimum values over time, and recent news. The app also includes technical analysis powered by AI, offering insights that might help in understanding a stock’s potential movement. ...
