Nakul Srivastava
Product & Frontend Engineer
I design and build products end to end — frontend-led, UX-obsessed, and comfortable reaching across web, desktop, mobile, extensions, and AI systems when a problem demands it.
Lately I live at the edge of everyday friction: noticing recurring bottlenecks, then engineering the focused tool that eliminates them.
Fast, accessible interfaces with obsessive attention to craft, micro-interactions, and visual clarity.

Build & Systems Catalog
Hari
wipAn always-on desktop copilot that sits above Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — it plans, remembers, and steers across projects without writing code itself, keeping each harness context clean.
$ npx hari@latest attachJuggling multiple coding harnesses across projects means constantly losing mental context: what was I doing, why, and where did I leave off.
An always-on desktop copilot that plans, remembers, and steers — never touching file edits directly, preserving each harness's context window.
Madhav
liveA glass Windows side-panel that captures notes, ideas, and tasks the instant they surface — syncing bidirectionally with Telegram so capture follows you on every device.
$ winget install imnakul.madhavCapKit
wipA calm, Windows-first capture toolkit: hit a single shortcut, grab anything, annotate in place, then pin, record, or showcase — one uninterrupted flow replacing disjointed utilities.
$ capkit --record --studioVedHerbz ERP
deliveredClient WorkAn offline desktop ERP that replaced a fragile spreadsheet workflow for a cosmetics manufacturer — BOM, batch formulations, QC certificates, and role security on a local SQLite database.
Codex Ledger
liveA privacy-first, local-only analytics dashboard that translates invisible AI API usage into readable telemetry — models, runtimes, token velocity, and real cost per task.
$ npx codex-ledger --port 3344Moving Text
liveA featherweight Rust overlay that scrolls ambient reminders along screen edges — click-through, always-on-top, rendered at 60fps via Direct2D with full Unicode & emoji support.
$ cargo install moving-textTelegram PC Control
liveA lightweight Telegram automation daemon that securely controls a Windows workstation remotely — take desktop screenshots, trigger timed hibernation, or cancel background jobs.
Wallpapers
liveA 60fps glassmorphic 4K/8K wallpaper gallery with a zero-credit sync pipeline — drop images into a folder, MD5-hash against a manifest, and sync only new assets to Cloudinary.
Remind me Gopal
liveA lightweight browser extension that turns any web selection into a persistent reminder with one right-click. Zero account, no external cloud, survives browser restarts.
An adaptive learning workspace that turns reading into reviewable material — captures highlights and active-recall flashcards without breaking focus.
Naarithread
liveClient WorkAn ecommerce platform with a custom headless CMS, inventory tracking, and integrated AI assistant for customer styling queries.
Freesiteshub
liveA curated index of free tools, open-source resources, and APIs for builders and creators — maintained continuously with live uptime checks.
