👋 Hello Mastodon!

I'm Nowshad, a solo dev from Bangladesh building privacy-first
browser tools (PHP, Node.js, Go).

Currently building Encrypted Clipboard Manager - a zero-knowledge clipboard
manager. Your data is encrypted client-side, I can't read it even
if I wanted to.

Sharing my build-in-public journey here: wins, bugs, and Manifest V3
rants 😅

Excited to connect with indie devs, FOSS folks, and privacy people!
