about studdy-buddy

a personal project born from frustration with scattered learning resources.

Why I Built This

learning web development in 2025 is a lot. google searches return outdated stack overflow threads. llm searches hallucinate methods that don't exist. tutorials are stuck in 2022. decision paralysis before you even start.

so i made myself this simple wrapper with clean ui/ux where i can learn and bounce ideas when i'm not building.

it's open source. contributions welcome if it helps you too.

Design Principles

KISSkeep it simple stupid - when in doubt choose the simpler solution

DRYdon't repeat yourself - minimal code, maximum impact

Brutalismfunction over form, bold borders, monospace fonts, no fluff
