My friend's notes were scattered across a dozen files, so I built him a private search-and-answer tool

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend NotesBuddy is a study assistant I built for my friend Alekh. His problem was simple: his notes were scattered across many different files, and finding one small concept took forever. NotesBuddy fixes that. You drop your notes into a folder, ask a question in plain language, and get a short answer along with the exact passage of your notes it came from. If the notes don't contain the answer, it says so instead of guessing.

I’m building VaydeNet, an embedded communication framework — testers wanted

Switching radios often means rewriting communication code. I’m building VaydeNet to make that easier: a shared communication layer that keeps application logic separate from the underlying transport. The long-term goal is to support technologies such as ESP-NOW, LoRa, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet through a consistent interface. The current prototype focuses on ESP32 and ESP-NOW. Its portable C++ engine validates packets, decodes incoming messages, delivers them to application code, and handles outgoing broadcast messages.
