Hi there, I'm relharrati.

💼 I build tools that turn ideas into real, usable things — starting with Raystones, a rhinestone pattern generator for crafters and designers.

What I'm Working On:

Right now, I'm focused on:

• Building tools that solve real problems — not just coding exercises.
• Making complex things simple (like turning photos into craft patterns).
• Shipping fast, iterating based on actual use.
• Closing the gap between "I have an idea" and "here's a working tool."

How I Build:

I believe the best tools are the ones people actually use. Here's my approach:

1. Start with the problem. Not the tech stack. What do people actually need?
2. Ship fast, iterate. Get something working, then make it better based on real feedback.
3. Multiple access points. Web UI, CLI, browser-only — meet users where they are.
4. Zero friction. No signup, no install (when possible), just open and use.
5. Clean output. SVG, PNG, PDF — files people can actually use in their workflow.
6. Open source. Transparent code, community contributions welcome.
7. Self-hostable. Run it locally if you want. No vendor lock-in.
8. Feedback welcome. Open an issue

Philosophy: If a tool needs a manual longer than 3 sentences, it's too complicated.

Why I Build

The Tool Trap — My Story →

I've seen too many developers build amazing things that nobody uses — not because the code is bad, but because the tool is hard to access, hard to understand, or solves a problem nobody has.

I started building Raystones because I noticed a gap: crafters and designers wanted to create rhinestone patterns from images, but the existing tools were either expensive, complicated, or required software they didn't have. So I built something that runs in a browser, costs nothing, and produces files they can actually use.

That's the pattern I want to follow: find a real problem, build the simplest thing that works, and put it where people can use it immediately. No signup walls, no paywalls, no "contact us for a demo."

Just open the page and start creating.
