About Me
I'm Ale160. I entered society at 17 and became a self-taught developer.
Just experienced startup failure, heavy debt, and broken relationships.
Now I'm an independent developer and content creator.
I'm not perfect, I've made mistakes and failed many times, but I want to walk a different path:
Open-source my tools for free, continuously document my growth, and see how far I can go.
I believe the original meaning of the internet was sharing.
So I made hub-nav (personalized browser start page) permanently free and open source,
recording every reversal and decision publicly.
I'm no philanthropist—I did consider charging, but ultimately chose free.
Because I think my products aren't worth paying for yet.
Currently I'm doing two things:
1. Continuously releasing free open-source tools.
2. Continuously producing video content.
Not to prove anything, but to exist for the long term.
What I Believe
- Many hands make light work - you think, I build.
- First make it work, then make it better.
- Always free within my means.
- First survive, then talk about returns.
My Projects
All the above pure frontend tools will be permanently free and open source. I don't care about technical elitism; I only care about helping more people.
Support & Feedback
I'm not in a hurry to commercialize, nor pursue short-term gains.
But I believe: long-term continuous evolution is more important than always being correct.
