Added so that the app picks up the timer if you closed the app, made the music selection better and added new welcome message for new users to get started. :) 
I have made the chatbot better, made the UI better and less cluttered, added better focus shield, and made it way more optimised

I have polished the previous version of the app. I have added a focus shield, a music and ambient noise player, an AI chatbot, a softer notification, and better personalization.
Completely discarded the previous version of the Chrome extension and rewrote it and added better UI and smart web tools, making it so that you can customize the user’s plan from the Chrome extension itself. Made the bridge between the app and the Chrome extension smoother and better & made the app way more ADHD-friendly. # NOTE: make sure that you enable notification in your OS and BROWSER
Done adding a less cluttered UI, personalization, a chatbot companion, and more music and about to release V2 
Major UI makeover and added a better chat bot.
Added a chatbot and optimized the code & added features to help people with dyslexia to operate it.

Just added a bunch more Malayalam across the site and finally got the career guide PDF in. Figured people should be able to save something and actually walk away with it instead of just scrolling through once. Also cleaned up the readability and squeezed out some performance while I was in there.
Honestly the Malayalam translations were the hard part. A lot of career/science terms just don’t have a clean Malayalam equivalent, so it wasn’t a translate-and-done job; it took a lot of rewriting until it sounded like something a person would actually say instead of a textbook. Still not 100% happy with a couple of sections, but it’s way better than before.
What I’m most happy with is that Arivu finally feels bilingual instead of just having a language toggle that doesn’t mean much. That was the whole point of building this.
If you’re testing it, take a look at the translations between Malayalam and English, download the career guide PDF, and let me know if anything seems sluggish.
Added a settings row to Focus Focus Shield, Calm Mode, No Animation, Light Mode toggle, and a font/sound switcher. Added a settings row to Focus Focus Shield, Calm Mode, No Animation, Light Mode toggle, and a font/sound switcher. Per User Persistence All Per User Persistence All
Also built Quick Commands - one input to type stuff like /plan work 60 or /help instead of clicking through menus. Still wiring up the rest of the commands.
Underneath that: Create Focus Plan, with a Timer: Work Mode. Right now it just displays 00:00 as a placeholder – next up is hooking it to the actual session logic so starting a plan counts down for real.:)
Dark mode has been added. Now tell me what else i should add?

Helpy is a cross-platform desktop application built with Electron, accompanied by a Chrome extension, to help individuals with ADHD manage tasks, improve focus, and reduce distractions. The project was designed around the idea that productivity tools should adapt to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to the tool.
The application combines task management, focus sessions, reminders, and browser integration into a single, streamlined experience. The Chrome extension allows users to quickly capture tasks while browsing, while the desktop application provides a centralized workspace for organizing and tracking progress.
One of the primary challenges was integrating the Electron desktop application with the Chrome extension while maintaining a consistent user experience. Packaging the application for distribution across multiple platforms and designing an interface that remains simple without sacrificing functionality also required significant effort.
This project strengthened my understanding of Electron, Chrome Extension APIs, desktop application packaging, application architecture, and user-centered interface design. I am particularly proud of creating a solution that addresses a real accessibility and productivity challenge while remaining easy to install and use.
To test the project:
Download and install the latest release from the GitHub Releases page.
Launch the Helpy desktop application.
Load the Chrome extension using Chrome’s Developer Mode (Load unpacked or install the provided package).
Create tasks, start focus sessions, and use the extension to save tasks directly from the browser.
Verify that tasks and productivity features function as expected.
made the signup and login work made the notifications way less annoying :D
Just done adding career guide pdf and system mode detector :D
Added a Chrome extension to help track activities and to help people with ADHD and ADD

I’ve built a sci-fi, terminal-style portfolio website that is a “mission dossier” of my journey in space science, hardware, and machine learning. Instead of a resume, it has interactive sections such as “Mission Logs” (projects), “Capabilities” (tech stack), and “Active Transmissions” (current focus).
The main problem was crafting a UI that felt like a real aerospace control terminal and classified dossier but was still responsive and performant. I also had to structure the data carefully so that the hover cards for “Mission Records” and “Credentials” could be rendered dynamically without weighing down the page.
I am really proud of the overall aesthetic and the narrative flow; it is not just a list of my skills but tells the story of a 15 year old aspiring astrophysicist from Kerala. I’m also proud to have tied my real world milestones like being a NASA Space Apps Global Nominee (Team RC_Real Coding) and my ISRO achievements into this cohesive “classified” theme.
Testing & exploring:
Scroll the 6 “Mission” sections or use the top nav.
Hover over the Mission Records and Credentials cards for verified information.
Easter Egg – Scroll to the very bottom of the page (Contact / Footer section) and then type akshith on your keyboard to unlock the Easter Egg! :D (also the solar map works it is time acurate so no quick movement)
Finally did what I wanted to; no one can call it bad. 
UI ready
