AuditLog

Open source
Audit trail for your data models, an ORM-agnostic core with a pluggable, async sqlx backend (SQLite & Postgres).

auditlog records every create / update / destroy of your models into a single polymorphic audits table, capturing what changed (a diff), who changed it, when, from where, and an optional comment — then lets you query that history and reconstruct any past revision

Thoughts & travels

Notes on what I’m building, the gear I keep, and the trips I take when I step away from the screen.

About

I make software that feels calm to use.

I’m a developer based in Bengaluru. Most of my apps start with something I wish existed, a budgeting tool I’d actually open, a recipe keeper for my own kitchen, build tools to save time and I ship them small, then iterate.

Away from the keyboard I travel when I can, take photos, and keep a slow blog about the trips.
