SpeakUp

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend I built SpeakUp, a local AI-powered mock interview coach for my friend Ayan.

Ask Iche: I built a version of me my colleague can ask about git

She's a Flutter developer learning a Node.js backend. The code isn't where she gets stuck. Git is. Push, pull, fetch, and the classic: "why was my push rejected?" Every time, I stop what I'm doing and explain the same few fixes again. She doesn't need a git course.

"If it's not in front of me, it's gone": I fine-tuned a 4B model for my friend with ADHD

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend TL;DR. My friend Zee has ADHD. I asked him what actually goes wrong, and he answered in two lines: things he can't see disappear, and the one thing he locks onto eats the whole day. So I built Actually. You brain-dump in your own messy words.
