What projects does Aarav showcase on asdesai.com?

Updated

asdesai.com is the personal site of Aarav, a programmer who describes himself as writing C, tinkering with Linux, and using suckless software. The projects he showcases there are mostly small terminal tools, listed on a dedicated Projects section alongside a link to "All projects." The three named examples are fetch, hum, and glance.

The projects listed on the site

The homepage's Projects section names three tools, each with a one-line description:

Project What the site says it is
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 sits below these entries, so the homepage shows a subset and the full list lives on a separate projects page.

What the set tells you about his work

The three examples share a clear pattern:

  • Language: all are written in C, matching his stated preference for writing C.
  • Form factor: small terminal tools rather than GUI applications — a fetch utility, a TUI player, and a daemon.
  • Environment: they fit a Linux desktop built from suckless-style components. glance being a Wayland clipboard daemon lines up with his setup, which he describes as Gentoo Asahi on an M1 MacBook Air running dwl (a Wayland compositor) and the fairydust kernel.

If you are looking for the same kind of software — lightweight, terminal-first, C-based — this list is the place to start.

How to reach the projects

Start at the homepage, scroll to the Projects heading, and follow All projects → for the complete list. The Latest post section on the same page links to his most recent writing, which is where updates about these tools are likely to appear.
