Avi Chandra

iOS & Android developer, New Delhi

I build iOS and Android apps, mostly social and productivity. I ship them end-to-end, interface to backend, with a focus on intuitive design.

Currently interested in sync engines, CRDTs, and local-first software.

Outside of work I like swimming & cooking. Check out my recipes.

Projects

mrmr.social

2,500 active users

Anonymous campus social network. iOS, Android, web.

Posting is scoped to a single university, so the feed is only ever people you could run into that afternoon. That boundary does the moderation work a filter model can’t, and it makes the cold start finite: about two hundred users at one school, not a million everywhere.

mrmr: Local Communities

Community group chat. Rooms, threads, polls, events.

Every group gets a home split into topic rooms, closer in shape to Geneva than to a public server list. Built for the group chat that already exists in your life rather than for discovery.

Calnip

Open source

macOS quick-entry launcher. Swift, EventKit, no Xcode project.

Hit a hotkey, type lunch with sam 12-1 tom >work, press return. A hand-written parser resolves times, ranges, dates and recurrence with live token highlighting, and a day timeline renders a ghost of the event plus conflict warnings before you commit it. Local only, straight through EventKit.

$ brew install avichandra2k1/tap/calnip

Sundae Dashboard

Product analytics and user feedback, in one dashboard.

PostHog assumes you already know what a funnel query is. Sundae doesn’t. It gives small teams ready-made admin dashboards for signups and activation, a feedback inbox that turns complaints into trackable issues, and simple team permissions—all in one place.

The Sundae analytics dashboard

Thangs

Open source

Cross-platform GTD app. Tauri desktop, React Native mobile, CRDT sync.

A task manager in the shape of Things 3, sharing one sync engine across all three platforms. Merge rules are defined per field rather than per record, so a completion is sticky, ordering uses fractional indices, and a client can drift offline for a week without the server picking a winner.

Superday

5,000 users

Visual day planner for iOS.

Lays the day out as blocks you drag against a timeline instead of a list you scroll past. Built for planning that falls apart in a checklist, which makes it work well for ADHD users and fine for everyone else.

Shyguy

#2 Product of the Day

iOS vlogging app built around a simulated call interface.

Talking to a camera in public feels awkward. Shyguy puts a realistic FaceTime interface over your screen, complete with a ‘person’ on the other end. So filming yourself just looks like a normal video call.

Lorcana Card Scanner

iOS bulk scanner. Recognition on the live camera buffer.

Reads frames straight off the capture pipeline instead of taking stills, which removes the camera reconfiguration that costs a few hundred milliseconds per shot. Matches are debounced across frames, so you fan a stack past the lens and it logs the whole thing.
