Aditya's fun projects

PDFTools is a collection of Python utilities designed for PDF automation. It includes scripts for grayscale and color inversion for PDF files. This project aims to provide simple tools for working with PDFs and can be extended to include other automation tasks in the future. I love ILovePDF, but I noticed there are some tasks that certain software can’t handle, which require a more hands-on approach. My sister needed to print some lecture notes, but the teacher had provided them with notes that had a black background, and the printer refused to print them, saying it would look bad. She asked me for help, and I knew I could first convert the PDF to grayscale and then invert the colors (black to white, white to black) to make the text readable. The online tools I found were too slow, and they uploaded the files to a server, which I didn’t like. I don’t understand why online PDF and multimedia tools don’t use technologies like WASM to handle operations on the client side. So, I wrote these simple scripts to accomplish this task, and my sister was happy with the results. I will be adding more scripts as needed. Perhaps I will move this to my serious list soon.

This Perl script minifies JavaScript and CSS files by removing comments, unnecessary whitespace, and optimizing values. It can be used in one-time mode or in watch mode, where it automatically processes files whenever they are modified. The script also supports custom configuration for input and output directories.

Sisyphus is a minimal, terminal-based to-do list app built with the Go programming language. It uses the gocui library for building user interfaces in the terminal (used by lazygit as well). The app helps you manage tasks in a simple, efficient way from the command line.

I didn't do well in my computer networks exam, so I decided to build a DNS resolver to learn more. I created a DNS resolver in Go. The resolver handles DNS queries, checks its cache, and queries upstream servers for A and CNAME records.

I lernt fluter basics and built this game in ONE DAY. It allows users to play a guessing game where they hold their phone to their forehead and receive clues from friends. The game is built using Flutter and the sensors_plus Dart package to handle the phone's accelerometer for game mechanics.

This blogs site is not maintained regularly as intended but I keep this repo open for times when I want an organized collection of something to share with other people as a learning resource.
