Welcome to Alember's Vault

Welcome to Alember’s Vault — one home for the things I build, study, and write about. It has been an idea in my head for years, and a real website for about a weekend.

Here’s the honest version of why it exists.

The plan that kept getting postponed

I always wanted a personal site. Not a portfolio that says “passionate developer” three times, but a place where my actual work lives: papers, project reports, half-finished experiments, notes from things that took me too long to figure out.

Every year I’d start sketching it, then work would show up, college would show up, and the plan would go back in the drawer. Building a site like this used to mean weeks of setup before you have anything to show.

What changed: AI tooling

This is the part that finally made it happen. With help from Claude, opencode, Cursor, and Antigravity, the boring parts — boilerplate, layouts, wiring up storage, chasing build errors — stopped being the reason to delay. I could describe what I wanted, iterate on it, and have a working site in a day, on a weekend.

To be clear: the tools typed a lot of the code. The decisions, the design, the structure, and the words are mine. It’s the difference between a faster hammer and a house that builds itself.

Why I wanted it

Three simple reasons:

• To help fellow BCA students. I have past question papers, semester project reports, an internship report, proposals, presentations — the stuff everyone needs and nobody can find. Instead of sitting in my folders, they’re now searchable and previewable right in the browser, for free.
• To own my writing. I started publishing on Medium and enjoyed it, but I wanted my posts on a site I actually control — with my own layout, my own links, no algorithm deciding who sees them.
• To keep a record. Projects and lessons fade fast. Writing them down here means I remember what I built, why I made the choices I did, and what I’d do differently.

What’s inside

• Academic archive — Tribhuvan University BCA past papers with searchable text, plus semester project documents and course guidelines.
• Projects — real write-ups with reports, screenshots, diagrams, and repository or live links.
• Blogs — notes on Node, Docker, Redis, CORS, deployment and whatever else I bump into next.

Under the hood (short version)

Astro and Tailwind keep it fast and mostly static, Supabase holds the files, and Cloudflare serves it. If you like that kind of detail, the code is on GitHub and the roadmap is right there in the repo.

const vault = ["blogs", "academic", "projects"];
console.log(vault.join(" · "));

What’s next

More past papers as I get them, more project write-ups, and — eventually — whatever I’m building next. If you’re a BCA student and something here saves you an evening, that’s the whole point of building it.

Thanks for stopping by.
