What is asdesai.com?

Updated

asdesai.com is the personal website of Aarav, a programmer who writes C, tinkers with Linux, and builds small terminal tools. The site is a simple homepage that introduces him, lists his projects, and links to his latest post. It is not a product, service, or company site — it is a personal portfolio and blog.

Who is behind the site

The site identifies its author directly: "Hey, I'm Aarav. I like writing C, messing with Linux, and suckless software." He also describes himself as a math buff, mainly interested in linear algebra and geometric algebra.

His current setup, as stated on the page, is Gentoo on an M1 MacBook Air, running dwl (a dwm-like Wayland compositor) with the fairydust kernel. That combination — Gentoo, Asahi Linux on Apple silicon, dwl, and a custom kernel — signals a preference for minimal, source-based, and highly customized systems.

What you'll find on the site

The homepage is organized around two main sections:

  • Projects — a list of small tools he has built, mostly terminal-based
  • Latest post — a link to his most recent writing

Projects listed

Project Description
fetch A 3D spinning fetch tool written in C
hum A minimal TUI music player
glance A clipboard daemon for Wayland

A "All projects →" link suggests there is a fuller project index beyond the homepage.

Who this site is for

This site is useful if you:

  • Want to see examples of small, focused C programs and terminal utilities
  • Are interested in minimal Linux setups, particularly Gentoo on Apple silicon
  • Follow suckless-style software and Wayland tooling
  • Want to read short technical posts from a developer working in this space

It is not aimed at people looking for tutorials, commercial software, or general Linux support. The content reflects one developer's personal projects and interests rather than a structured learning resource.

How to use it

Start at the homepage to get the short introduction, then follow the Projects section to browse his tools, or the Latest post link to read his most recent writing. The "All projects →" link leads to the complete list if you want to see everything he has published.
