Survivor Logs
A public coding log that turns side quests into shipped tools, then writes down the messy parts.
👋 Hey! BUILDR-KT2FMB
Survivor Logs is a build-in-public channel for projects, snippets, technical breakdowns, and the occasional sharp opinion. The work ranges from sceniustube, a catalog of interesting YouTube videos, to Dataset.ET and an open-source Flutter package for Android home-screen widgets. Launches sit beside the real process: fragmented developer identities, OWASP study notes, giant AI-assisted pull requests, and lessons learned along the way.
They build from specific frustrations, ship the tool, and explain the reasoning behind it. The channel mixes project launches with technical reading, security notes, open-source releases, and candid postmortems rather than presenting only polished results.
- The channel has 629 posts collected so far.
- Posting is currently on a 37-week streak.
- The channel averages 22.4 posts per week over the last 90 days.
- English makes up 88% of text posts.
The journey.

The Build-in-Public Reset
After going quiet, Survivor Logs came back with a clear promise: product progress, technical breakdowns, startup lessons, mistakes, wins, and real metrics. This stretch brought MarketMind, DevGraph, Dataset.ET, Addis Atlas, and an open-source Flutter package into the log.

In their own words.
Just building in public.
I know I’ve been off the grid.But I wasn’t sleeping. I was cooking.
Fresh from the channel.
I can't agree more with this idea gn the problem is I struggle mixing being uncomfortable with being ungrateful I struggle mixing the boundary of healthy need for more and being greedy This is my struggle.
this platform looks cool ngl https://buildr.mikaelen.site/yihun-shekuri-argaw
