Open-Sourcing whoami.page - Because Open Source Made Us All Better Devs

Well, it's giving season, so here's my gift to the dev community! 🎁

Merry Christmas!

Some of you might remember whoami.page - that project I built during summer? If not, no worries! It's a platform inspired by read.cv + X where you can create your resume, share your projects, and post your thoughts. Think of it as your cozy corner of the internet for all things dev.

Why Open Source It?

Open-source is the way to go!

I personally think open source is the most crucial thing for developers... let's be honest, if it weren't for open source projects, most of AI tools wouldn't exist! The amount of knowledge I've gotten from digging through open source codebases is astounding. This is my small way of giving back to the community that taught me so much.

What's Inside?

If you're curious about implementation:

  • Next.js 14 with App Router and Server Components
  • Clerk for auth (with custom onboarding flow)
  • PostgreSQL + Prisma for type-safe database stuff
  • TailwindCSS
  • Zustand for state management

Get Your Hands Dirty

Whether you want to:

  • Create your own version
  • Learn from the codebase
  • Test it and break it (please do!)
  • Give feedback on my code (yes, please!)

The repo is now yours to play with.

Thanks to all the developers who've shared their code with the world and let me learn from it. Here's to keeping that spirit alive!
