&lt;p>An alternative note-taking application to Google Keep, developed to test and explore the strengths and weaknesses of Zoho Catalyst as a backend platform. While the project served its purpose as a learning experience, active development has been discontinued.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="project-overview">Project Overview&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Jots was created as an experimental project to evaluate Zoho Catalyst&amp;rsquo;s capabilities as a backend-as-a-service platform. The application provides core note-taking functionality similar to Google Keep, allowing users to create, organize, and manage their notes efficiently.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>LinkX - Organized Link Management Platform</title><link>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/linkx/</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/linkx/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="linkx---organized-link-management-platform">LinkX - Organized Link Management Platform&lt;/h1>
&lt;p>A powerful link management platform designed to solve the common problem of losing incredible playlists and resources shared on social media platforms. Instead of manually searching through notes or keep apps after links vanish from WhatsApp stories or other temporary sharing platforms, LinkX provides a permanent, organized solution.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="problem-statement">Problem Statement&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>The frustration of discovering amazing playlists, articles, and resources online, sharing them temporarily through social media stories, only to lose them after 24 hours and having to manually hunt through various note-taking apps to find them again.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Persona - Complete Personal Life Management System</title><link>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/persona/</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/persona/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="persona---complete-personal-life-management-system">Persona - Complete Personal Life Management System&lt;/h1>
&lt;p>A comprehensive all-in-one platform designed to centralize every aspect of personal life management. Instead of juggling multiple separate applications for different needs, Persona provides a unified dashboard where you can login and instantly see what&amp;rsquo;s happening in your life across all dimensions.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Note&lt;/strong>: This is a very ambitious project currently in the vision stage, with development planned for the future.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="problem-statement">Problem Statement&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Personal life management is currently fragmented across dozens of different apps and platforms. Managing tasks in one app, notes in another, contacts elsewhere, mood tracking in yet another tool, and memories scattered across various platforms creates unnecessary complexity and maintenance overhead. This fragmentation makes it difficult to get a holistic view of your life and progress.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Stickylets - Java Swing Sticky Notes App</title><link>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/stickylets/</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/stickylets/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="stickylets---desktop-sticky-notes-application">Stickylets - Desktop Sticky Notes Application&lt;/h1>
&lt;p>A desktop sticky notes application inspired by Windows sticky notes, built entirely with Java Swing and MySQL. This project represents a significant personal milestone - the first truly fulfilling application built from scratch during the pre-AI era.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="project-overview">Project Overview&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Stickylets was developed as a desktop alternative to Windows sticky notes, providing enhanced functionality and persistent storage. The application demonstrates core software engineering principles using traditional Java technologies and database connectivity.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Tazk - Personal Task Management Tool</title><link>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/tazk/</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://projects.eknath.dev/projects/tazk/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="tazk---personal-task-management-tool">Tazk - Personal Task Management Tool&lt;/h1>

The restaurant had different discounts for different type of people like residents have -20%, Volunteers have -10% and outsiders have +5% Tax. I built this application to solve a real world problem.&lt;/p>
