Jonaz documents the coding grind in public, moving between full-stack apps, LeetCode and DSA practice, and small tools with a sharp point of view. The channel’s project trail includes AniFlow, an anime watchlist app, and Commit Crystal Ball, an offline Git pre-commit hook that scans staged changes for risky patterns.

How they work

Jonaz builds in public, breaks projects into daily or weekly checkpoints, and keeps coding practice alongside product work. Their posts show backend setup, database models, JWT and Google OAuth authentication, FastAPI, Docker, LeetCode, and DSA study appearing in the same routine.

  1. Jul – Oct 2025

    The Lock-In Log

    The channel began as a personal coding log, then quickly became a place to track projects from idea to deployment. Early highlights included Plus, a blog and mini social platform, a video catalogue, and Rate My Portfolio.

    Tools With a Point of View

    The projects became smaller, stranger, and more focused: AniFlow keeps anime watchlists portable, while Now-Playing-Bot turns a pinned Telegram message into a live music status. Later posts introduced bigger experiments and developer tools, including Vitra and DomainPulse.
