Nahom documents the messy middle of getting better at code: unfinished projects, layout distractions, sudden breakthroughs, and the occasional AI-assisted shortcut. They have finished a React Notes-App, launched CodeLore V0 for learning programming through strange analogies, and released Dev Arena, a competitive coding and quiz platform with more than 400 questions.

How they work

Nahom learns by building in public, usually with React and modern web tooling. Their posts show a cycle of starting ambitious projects, getting distracted by design, figuring things out, and returning to finish; the CodeLore stack includes React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Framer Motion, and Supabase.

    The Discipline Log

    The channel opened as a public record of Nahom’s full-stack journey and participation in the #Whiplash2025 challenge. Early posts set the tone: coding updates, difficult errors, and trying to turn projects into a regular habit.

    React, Notes, Repeat

    A basic Notes-App became the first finished project, built to strengthen React skills. The next challenge was quiz-app, where MVP planning collided with a love of polishing layouts and the reality of unfinished work.

    Stories in the Stack

    CodeLore V0 turned creative learning notes into a public product. It lets people read, write, publish, search, like, share, and install programming explanations built around stories and unusual analogies.

    Arena Mode

    After finishing two projects and sharing a sneak peek, the channel launched Dev Arena in September. The updates then widened into demo websites, coding resources, AI-assisted development, and a clear warning not to vibe-code without understanding what the code does.

    A compact statement of the channel’s learning philosophy: tools help, but understanding still matters.

In their own words.

CodeLore is a place where programming concepts are explained using stories, chaos, and weird analogies so they're easier to understand and remember.
