A note from the maker
Every A kolam is a line drawing made each morning at the doorstep of homes in Tamil Nadu and across South India, traditionally with rice flour. One line loops around a grid of dots to make the pattern. begins with a single dot. From there, the possibilities are endless: one careful line at a time, until a pattern fills the doorstep. Homes in Chennai, where I'm based, start every day this way.
That's how I build software. One small app, made carefully, then the next. Each starts as an empty file and a blinking cursor, which is why our logo is a cursor with a kolam inside it.
I use a Linux desktop at home and a Windows laptop at work, so I build for both. Madras Indie is a tiny independent studio: fewer features done properly, no ads, and when you write in, I'm the one who replies.
