mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah I just found your VN and it's so cute and arresting and so full of nonbinary longing I'm absolutely in love already and it's kinda inspiring me to do the scary job of opening up a word doc and try writing some of my own stuff for the first time ever
also wrt aster i love love love love love the idea of being freed from agab. just... can't remember. who cares. no longer having to measure up to a gender metric or constantly minimizing your male shoulders or female hips and worrying about your ratios or presentation - and just relax and enjoy it instead of treating it like a constant chore of maintaining a dozen spinning plates to avoid being "found out". freed from presentation pressure. mwah.
also also as a fellow web developer I'd love to hear more about your stack for ssg - gatsby? svelte? vite? 93 nested imported html docs? one really really big div? I ask because while I don't know if I'll ever have the chops for music production, reading and discovering that inline music player absolutely tickled me, both narratively and as a developer, what a delight, so so so good
My “stack” ... hmmm. “Stack” .................
So, for the main website I just used “Lektor”, which I picked out of a hat on the basis that it was python-based and could do the one thing I cared about (HTML templating). But the CURSE/KISS/CUTE reader is coded from scratch. It is a single-page app, and it loads and displays story content by grabbing the HTML from a JSON file I call the “story file”. The JSON in turn is created by a parser that I wrote in python that parses a specially-formatted markdown file which I also confusingly call the “story file”. The script format for this latter file is slightly custom but is mostly just “normal markdown but I repurposed code ticks as a macro format”:
The music player is pretty rudimentary and just offloads all the complicated business to howler.js.
It’s a funny patchworked leaning tower of python but it gets it done and gets it done entirely client-side and that means I don’t have to dip even one of my toes into the haunted pool of server-side web development =w=
How to Choose the Right Software Development Partner in India
Choosing a software development partner is a big step. You trust someone with your idea, your time, and your budget. You want strong skills, clear talk, and real care for your goals. India is home to many talented teams, and that is why the country has become a top spot for global software projects. But with so many choices, it is hard to know where to start. This guide will help you make the right call and find a partner who fits your needs.
India is known for some of the best software development companies in India. Many of them serve clients across the UK, Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world. But the question remains. How do you pick the one that suits your project?
Below are a few simple points that will help you choose a partner who supports you at each step and delivers strong results.
Know What You Need Before You Start
Many projects face delays because of unclear needs. Before you look for a team, take time to think about your goals. Write down the main idea in simple words. What problem will the software solve? Who will use it? How will it help your users?
You do not need complex terms. Just clear points. For example:
You may want a mobile app for a retail brand.
You may need a CRM to track clients.
You may want to upgrade your old system.
When your own needs are clear, it is easy to explain them to a team. A good partner will then guide you on tech choices and plan the work with you.
Look for Real Experience and a Strong Track Record
Experience matters. You want a team that has worked on ideas like yours. This shows they know the process and the risks. It also means they are more likely to meet your deadlines.
Ask to see their past work. Read the case studies on their website. Check the results they have delivered.
Teams with long experience create better plans. They test each step. They avoid errors. They know what works and what does not.
If you want the best software development in India, look for firms that have worked with both small and large clients. A wide mix of clients shows they can handle different needs.
Check Their Skills and Tech Knowledge
Your partner must be strong in the tech stack needed for your project. This may include web tech, mobile platforms, cloud tools, or UI design. Look for a team with deep skills and a ready process.
But remember, tech skills alone are not enough. They must also think with clarity and guide you with simple steps. A skilled team will explain ideas in plain words. You should never feel lost or confused.
Many of the best software development companies in India train their teams often. They keep their skills fresh and updated. Such training helps you get better results.
Read Reviews and Client Feedback
Client reviews say a lot. They show you how the team treats people and handles work. Look for points like:
Did the team reply on time?
Were they clear and honest?
Did they fix issues fast?
Was the client happy with the results?
Reviews on trusted platforms help you get the full picture. You will see both good and bad points. This helps you make a fair choice.
Check How They Communicate
This is one of the most important parts. Many projects fail because the team does not share updates or messages on time. You want a partner who talks to you in a simple and open way. They must share progress often. They must clear doubts as soon as they arise.
A strong team uses calls, chats, and emails to stay in sync. They do not hide issues. They tell you the truth, even if there is a delay. Clear talk builds trust. It also keeps the project on track.
Make Sure They Understand Your Users
Good software is not only about code. It is about people who use it. Choose a team that studies your target users. They must know what your users face and how the software will help them.
When the team understands the user, the results are always better. The design is smoother. The flow is easy to follow. The users feel safe and comfortable.
Firms that offer the best software development in India study user habits and build strong user flows. This step makes the final product useful and easy to use.
Ask About Their Process
A good partner follows a clear process. This includes planning, design, coding, testing, and delivery. They must explain each step to you. A clean process helps avoid confusion and saves time.
Ask them:
How do they start a project?
How do they handle feedback?
How often will they send updates?
How do they test the code?
Teams with a strong process deliver stable and high-quality software. They also reduce the number of bugs that show up later.
Review Their Project Management Style
A team may have great skills, but poor planning can slow everything down. Strong project management helps the team work in a neat and steady way. It keeps everyone on the same path.
Look for teams that set clear goals. They must break the work into small parts. Each part should have a set time. You should know how long each task will take.
Good project management keeps costs under control. It removes waste and saves time.
Check Their Support and After-Delivery Care
Your work does not end when the software goes live. You need updates, fixes, and support. Choose a team that offers reliable help after the launch. They must be ready to solve issues and guide you through new updates.
Many top firms offer long-term support. They watch the system and fix issues early. They help keep your software safe and fast.
When a company offers strong support, it shows they care about your success. It also shows that they are confident in their own work.
See If They Fit Your Budget
A good partner must match your budget. But remember, the lowest price is not always the best choice. Cheap work may lead to more fixes later. This may cost more in the long run.
Find a team that offers fair prices. They must explain the cost in simple words. You should know where the money goes. A good firm gives full clarity and no hidden charges.
Choose a Partner Who Thinks Like You
You need a partner who understands your goals and values. When your views match, work becomes smooth. The team should treat your idea with respect. They must show real interest.
When a company listens with care, they deliver better results. Strong fit leads to strong outcomes.
Why India Is the Right Place to Find Your Partner
India is a global hub for software talent. The country has a large pool of skilled developers. Many firms here offer high-quality work at fair prices. They have a strong focus on client needs and user comfort.
This is why so many global brands look for the best software development companies in India. They find skill, care, and steady support.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right partner is not hard when you follow a few simple steps. Look for clear talk, strong skills, honest reviews, and a team that cares about your users. When you check these points, you can trust your decision.
If you want the best software development in India, look for a partner who listens, learns, and delivers with care. The right team will bring your idea to life and support you for years to come.
A strong software partner is not just a service provider. They become a part of your growth. And when you choose wisely, your project stands on a solid base.
I started my studyblr not long ago then a week I guess ? No body knows bout me yet tho but that doesn't matter for me...what matters is that this is my blog - MY JOURNEY
Hey you all ,
Myself Ishika a.k.a eunhee
She/her - INFP - capricorn - age 15 and half (yes I am small comparable to my class because I skipped several classes)
Born on 11 january......
I would say I am 5'5 and healthy weight (so you all can visualise me if you want)
A high-school student from India- 11th grader - non medical, Which means my subjects particularly are:
• Mathematics (weakest subject for me)
• Chemistry (love and hate relationship)
• Physics (second fab)
• English (oml fab)
• Computer science (piece of cake for me)
I actually started my studyblr because I lost interest in studies while ago because of all the stress and pressure.
when I see the studyblr community I actually feel really United yk what I mean...
Intrerests: 🚦
There are lot of things that interest me like seriously.....
Dance , singing , playing basketball , editing videos ,
Heyo heyooo, could I get a romantic matchup for Marvel? :0 I’m currently 18 years old and use they/she pronouns. I’m interested in men.
I’m kind of on the shorter side and am not really that strong or anything. I have dark brown hair cut above my shoulders and dark brown eyes, my skin is rather pale. I have some freckles and a little scar on my forehead (ran into a metal fence in preschool 💀). I’m far-sighted but usually wear contacts, sometimes my glasses if I’m relaxing at home.I like to dress comfortably, I usually like to just wear jeans or the pajamas I wore the night before and a comfortable shirt with a jacket or cardigan.
I’ve been a musician for half of my life basically. Started taking piano lessons back in elementary school, got involved in orchestra and marching band in high school. Now I’m majoring in music education. I’ve developed a strong liking for Baroque and Romantic composers like Bach or Tchaikovsky or Chopin, but outside of that kind of realm, I really like listening to Laufey and classic rock that I grew up with because of my dad. Outside of music, I like to read, watch movies (Ratatouille is my favorite 🫶), or just chill with friends. Web ARGs are things that I dive into a lot (thank you, MatPat) as well as other random stuff. If it peaks my interest in the slightest, I’ll end up looking in to it for hours. I’d say that I’m an introvert, I definitely need to spend some time on my own after a long day. I’d consider myself to be ambitious, curious, and passionate about the things that I love. I tend to find myself in leadership positions, even though it’s a bit overwhelming at times. My goal for 2025 is to become an official coffee snob so I’ve become a very avid coffee drinker lol. If it helps to know, I like my coffee medium roast with just a splash of half and half. I’ve heard that your ideal cup of Joe says a lot about you, but idk. 🫠
Anyhoozle, thanks for taking your time to read this and thanks for the matchup :) -Ashley (imconfuzzled27)
Hello, Ashley!
I would love to write you a Marvel matchup!

I hope you like it!
Enjoy!

Shang-Chi -
You had just moved into your new apartment, bozes stacked around your feet, one arm cradling your precious coffee maker, and the other attempting to awkwardly juggle your keys, a tote bag, and a tote full of piano sheet music books
You were a vision of frazzled calm
That's when your new neighbor, Shang-Chi, stepped out of his apartment
He blinked at the sight of you trying to not drop a whole box of coffee filters, and without even thinking, he stepped in
"Hey! Uh- do you need help? I mean- not in a you can't do it yourself way, but more like, I have arms and no plans right now kind of help?"
He helped carry your heavier boxes in, clearly trying not to snoop but unable to hide his curiosity about all your music gear
When he saw a page of Tchaikovsky in one of your folders, he actually asked, "Is this that Nutcracker guy?"
You ended up chucking a bit before telling him all about Romantic composers as he set your boxes down and helped set up your three standing keyboards
He did end up asking why you had three keyboards
And you answered as if it were simple: one has a feature for you to record your own keyboard sounds, the second was actually from the '80s, and the third was the first electric keyboard that you bought yourself
It was a little awkward, a little flustered, but something about him
The warmth in his eyes, the way he smiled, stuck with you
After that, you’d run into him in the hallway often
Shang-Chi carrying takeout, you cradling your third morning coffee like a lifeline
He started offering to pick up your mail when you were out and would randomly show up with pastries and say,
“I figured you’d need something to go with that coffee.”
He always asked about your music
How rehearsals were going, what you were composing or learning
Even though he didn't know much about classical music, he'd try to guess the composer by how "moody or happy" your practice pieces sounded
You introduced him to Laufey on a rainy day
You had her playing in the background while you were folding laundry, and he was lounging on your couch
He asked who it was, and you saw him immediately save the album to his phone
He genuinely loved learning from you
About composers and music theory
When you needed a break from the world, he understood
He’d text: “Let me know if you wanna hang or if today’s a solo recharge day. No pressure.”
Shang-Chi started showing up for your recitals and performances, even the small ones
He'd sit near the back, quietly proud, always holding a bouquet of flowers for you
“I don’t get everything that’s going on with the strings or tempo, but I know you looked so focused up there, like you were doing what you’re meant to do.”
He'd always walk you home
He'd offer you his hoodie if it gets chilly
He always walks closest to the road
You started craving his presence
His calming voice, his awkward jokes, his surprising wit when he matched yours
He'd help you unwind after overwhelming days, even if that meant sitting in silence with you, watching Ratatouille for the fifth time, which he grew to love
It happened on a quiet Saturday evening
He'd come over with your usual coffee (medium roast with just a splash of half and half, he knows)
He found you on the floor, just lying there, with music sheets all around you, looking overwhelmed
He gently nudged the pages, setting them aside carefully, before sitting down beside you and offering you the coffee
You looked at him for a long moment, and maybe it was the coffee or the comfort, but you just blurted out, "I like you."
His eyes widened, and then he smiled - this slow, stunning, and utterly amazed kind of smile
He then kissed you
Softly, tentatively at first, you melted into him
Dating Shang-Chi is like having a warm cup of coffee while wrapped in a fuzzy blanket during a rainstorm with the most comforting Laufey music playing in the background
He loves watching you practice
He often walks you to class or work when he’s free, carrying your heavy bags and holding your hand with ease
You bring out his softest sides
He trusts you with his vulnerabilities and past
Your apartment becomes your safe space
Cozy, coffee-scented, filled with music and love
He learns how to use a French press because he wants to impress you with “real coffee”
The first time, it’s too strong
You play piano for him when he’s had a rough day
He sits beside you, eyes closed, resting his head on your shoulder, while your fingers glide over Chopin
He lets you wear his sweatshirts around the house
You usually pair them with pajama pants and your glasses
He says it’s his favorite look
You leave notes in his pockets sometimes, fun facts, little music puns, sometimes just a heart
He keeps every single one
He’d learn to play a simple melody on the piano just to impress you
If you’re ever overwhelmed, he’ll pull you into his arms, put on your favorite music, and just rock with you until the tension fades
He’d always remind you to rest, to eat, to breathe
You’d compose a short piano piece just for him
You’d patch him up after a tough fight, your fingers gentle, your voice soft, music playing low in the background
now seems as good a time as any to crosspost something I wrote about twitter's api changes about grieving a web we never had, and my half-formed feelings about what it means to grieve a childhood vision of the future
When I saw the news about Twitter’s API, I couldn’t stop thinking about all of these things. About how knowledge of the web has gotten increasingly more specialized. About how Flash used to be a one-time purchase. About our loss of GeoCities, Angelfire, Yahoo Pipes. About how when I first researched making a website, my first results weren’t for something like WordPress, it was for full stack “web app” packages by startups with minimalist color schemes. It put me in a bad mood, and I couldn’t understand why I wanted to just scream. And then I realized.
I was grieving.
I was grieving everything that could’ve been.
There ARE good parts to Web 2.0; and if you look hard enough, you can even take advantage of them. But to think about what could’ve been, had corporatization not taken hold, had three platforms not gained control over the vast, vast majority of the web, fills me with legitimate grief. My head spins when I think about those early days and compare them to what we have now. I get overwhelmed thinking about everything a modern web dev has to keep in mind. I want to be able to buy Flash, learn basic coding, post something I make on deviantArt, and have it work. I want to stumble across data and information, and have it be beautiful and true. I want things online to exist, for the sake of existing. We’re all reaching for the crumbs of what we could’ve had. We’re lapping at the small puddles of what was left for us: customization, free tools, toys, information. Facebook took away gifs, and then graciously gives us looping video. Adobe took away Flash, then graciously gives us free Instagram editing. Our ability to freely interact with the web keeps getting stripped away, bit by bit by bit, and we don’t get a choice. We can only acquiesce, or outright refuse. There’s no more wishing for only the good parts if you’re not a web developer yourself.
Forgive me for thinking it’s not just them who should be able to have fun anymore.
If you follow me here or mastodon you may have noticed that I've been reblogging/boosting a lot of posts for something called The Fujoshi Guide to Web Development (@fujowebdev). There's a good chance you followed me or know me from the Dragon Age fandom where I run communities, events, and zines and write fanfic, and you might be wondering why the sudden and drastic departure from my normal content. Why would a writer contribute to something related to webdev? Why have you stopped seeing thirst for Dragon Age characters and started seeing… whatever a FujoGuide is?
The answers to those questions (and more!) are below the cut.
My Coding Journey
I wrote my first lines of code in 1996 (yes, I'm old AF). It was the early days of the internet and tutorials for how to make your own websites were literally everywhere. You couldn't go more than two clicks without finding a how-to written in plain language. But it was painstaking and tedious. CSS didn't exist yet (literally, I started coding about six months before it was released) and even when it appeared it wasn't widely adopted or supported.
It was the "glory days" of Geocities, Myspace themes, Neopets, and Livejournal. If there was a cool site, you could use HTML and/or CSS to customize it. I honed my skills by coding so many tables character profiles for RPs, creating themes, painstakingly laying out user info pages, and building my own site.
Gradually, things changed. Web 2.0 showed up with locked down profiles and feeds you couldn't customize, free website hosts became more difficult to find, and point and click page builders became the way of the web. Shortly after, I took a long break from fandom; frustrated and disappointed with site closures, lost communities, and general fandom wank… it felt like it just wasn't worth it anymore.
I eventually came back, and when I did it meant customizing themes, figuring out how to create tools for my communities, coding tumblr pages (and learning they're not really supported on mobile), and looking at automations for my common tasks. One day, I woke up and thought, "I'm going to make a Discord bot… it can't be that hard."
So, I did it.
An Unexpected Friendship
About a month after I launched my bot to the public, I received a random Discord message from @essential-randomness. A friend had told her about my bot, and she was working on BobaBoard which needed volunteers. I was shocked. First, people were talking about my bot. Second, I wasn't a real coder. I didn't know anything! I just googled a bunch of stuff and got something working. I had no idea what I was doing.
She assured me it was okay. She was willing to teach me what I didn't know - and most of all, that she wanted my help. I took a day or two to think it over, and fatefully filled out the volunteer form. I didn't know if I could be useful or how I could be useful, but I wanted to try.
Programming Is Awful
In the years months that followed, I spent a lot of time in @essential-randomness' DMs complaining about programming… at least once I realized she wouldn't judge me. I was still very much doing things the hard way, taking hours to update a site to add a single link on all the pages. I knew there were easier methods, but I either couldn't find them or once I found them, they were filled with dense jargon which was terrifying.
"An all-in-one zero-javascript frontend architecture framework!" Is that even English? "A headless open-source CMS." Cool. Sounds good. "A full-stack SSG based on Jamstack extending React and integrating Rust-based JS." Those sure are words. With meanings. That someone knows. Not me, though.
I spent so much time looking at what sites claimed was documentation and losing my mind because I had no idea where to even start most of the time. With @essential-randomness' encouragement, I kept at it, experimenting with new things, and jumping in headfirst even when I had no idea what I was doing. And I was so glad. Where I used to struggle keeping one website updated, last year I managed to deploy and update 7 websites. Yeah, you read that right. It was amazing.
The new stuff made it all much, much easier.
An Idea Is Born
Meanwhile, we spent hours discussing why it was difficult to get fandom to try coding. Part of the barrier was the belief you must be some sort of genius or know math or that creative/humanities people can't do it. It is also partially coding communities being unfriendly to newbies and hobbyists; a culture which often thrives on debasing people's choices, deriding them for not understanding, and shouting rtfm (read the fucking manual) and lmgtfy (let me google that for you)- all of which are unhelpful at best and humiliating and abusive at worst. The tech dudebro culture can be unforgiving and mean.
The number of coding-based Discords I've left far outnumbers the ones I've stayed in.
We determined what fandom needed was a place for coders of all skill levels to come together to help and support one another; where they could learn to code and how to join open-source projects they love, and where they could make friends and connections and show off their projects whether they were new or experienced programmers.
And thus… Fandom Coders was born.
What About FujoGuide?
Of course, running a coding group and working on BobaBoard together means we spent a lot of time talking about the state of the web. We both lamented over poor documentation, jargon-rich tutorials, and guides which assume a baseline of knowledge most people don't have. What we needed to do was provide tutorials which start at the beginning… from the ground up (what is a terminal and how do I open it?) without skipping steps. What we needed to do was make those tutorials fun and appealing.
I don't remember exactly the journey it took to get us here if I'm honest. I have no clue who said it first. But I do remember I first started thinking about anthropomorphizing programming languages when we attempted to cast the languages as the Ouran High School boys… and again when I suggested we do a [TOP SECRET IN CASE WE DO IT] group project in Fandom Coders to help people learn about programming.
What I do know is that as last year ended, @essential-randomness became laser-focused on creating our gijinka and moving forward with FujoGuide… and I couldn't say no.
Okay, But… Why Contribute?
To be honest, it's not just that I was around for the birth of the idea. It's ALL of the things in this post - the culmination of three years of frustration trying to figure out what I'm doing with coding, of wading through dense documentation, of wanting to give up before I even start. It's three years of dipping my toes into toxic techbro culture before running away. All added to decades of watching the web become corporate-sanitized, frustratingly difficult to customize, increasingly less fun, and overtly hostile to fans who dare enjoy sexual content.
To sum all of this up, it's the firm belief that we desperately need a resource like this. Something that's for us, by us. Something that builds fans up, instead of tears them down; that empowers them to create for themselves and their communities what no one is creating for them. It is a project I'm deeply passionate about.
And I can't wait until we can bring it to life for you all.
I've been meaning to post updates for my full stack web dev project, that's literally why I made tumblr, but ever since I burnt out on my last web dev job 5 months ago I feel so demotivated to even continue programming...I thought other peoples update posts would motivate me, but my brain is very stubborn XD I'm starting to hate IT and I feel v lost rn :c I was thinking of switching from web development to game development, but my biggest gripe with web dev was extreme sexism and I don't think game dev solves that unfortunately. Also I am from a shitty tourist town that already has very few IT companies (most of them are web agencies) and remote positions are all rejecting me immediately with no explanation...I don't really want to give up web dev as it has literally been my personality trait from like 2009 (remember stardoll presentations lol), but it's been completely tainted by bad experiences. Thank you, that's it.
