My Story
Five years ago, I found myself at a crossroads, unsure of what direction to take in life. That's when I stumbled into software development. What started as a path of uncertainty gradually transformed into a genuine passion. Through coding, I discovered not just a career, but a way to create meaningful impact in the tech world.
Why BareSoft?
In today's tech landscape, it often feels like AI has become the default answer to everything. While I don't oppose AI – it's a powerful tool when used thoughtfully – I noticed a growing trend of products that simply wrap AI APIs without adding genuine value. This observation led to the creation of BareSoft.
I believe in celebrating developers and creators who choose to solve problems through innovative thinking and careful craftsmanship, rather than immediately reaching for AI as the solution. BareSoft is designed to be a platform that showcases these thoughtful, human-driven tools.
My Philosophy
To me, a meaningful product is one that solves real problems through deliberate design and development, not by outsourcing the solution to AI. While AI can be a valuable component, it shouldn't be the entire product. I consider AI usage excessive when it becomes the primary selling point rather than a thoughtful enhancement to core functionality.
Vision for BareSoft
I envision BareSoft as more than just a directory – it's meant to be a safe haven for people seeking respite from the AI hype. Through carefully curated listings, future blog posts, and community engagement, I aim to build a space that celebrates human ingenuity in software development.
As a solopreneur, I'm committed to growing this platform organically, focusing on quality over quantity, and maintaining the core mission of highlighting truly innovative, AI-minimal tools that make a difference.
