Safe Volume — an Android app I built after my own JBL Charge 3 blasted YouTube at full volume the second I opened it. That problem is now fully solved: per-device profiles with min/max limits for every audio stream (media, ring, notification, alarm), enforced every 16 ms by a background service that survives restarts and starts on boot. Also kills media ducking — Android's habit of dropping your music for every notification, which the OS won't let you disable. Volume keys are blocked at the limit via Accessibility Service. Panic Mode handles two (or more) audio devices connected at once: volume safe for headphones would blast through a newly connected speaker, so a second A2DP device drops every stream to zero until you decide. With Tasker, MacroDroid or any broadcast intent, profiles switch by time, place or anything else — Safe Volume acts as the enforcement layer

For 5 years I built apps on Bubble. It served me well — but times change.
Today I build with a new, AI-assisted stack, and honestly, on the things that matter most to a business, Bubble now falls behind.
• Speed — the apps I build now load noticeably faster, and I measure it instead of guessing.
• Security — I run AI-assisted vulnerability testing on every project and close any holes I find before launch. That's hard to do on a closed no-code platform.
One thing I always recommend after launch — keep the project on light maintenance, just 1–2 hours a week. Apps are not "build once and forget."
I also set up SEO, and even when everything looks fine I send a weekly SEO report with anything worth improving that I notice.
If you have an app idea, a project that needs a rebuild, or something that just needs a reliable caretaker — reach out. Here, by email, or on LinkedIn. You don't to think about stuff at all, I take it.

A personal diary in my app.
I continue to develop free language-learning apps, bringing together all the best practices in one place.
One such practice is keeping a personal diary. It should be written in the evening, with the user describing their day in the language being studied.
But just text would be boring, right? That’s why I added a wide range of tools—from simple text highlighting to voice messages.
Users can modify text styles (bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough, and spoiler) and create tables, quotes, image carousels, section dividers, and voice messages, as well as headings ranging from H1 to H6.
I am developing a free language-learning app.
The app will incorporate all the best language-learning practices I’ve been able to find:
1. Learning words via images, without linking them to the native language: The app already supports completely free image search, as well as transcription and a wide range of languages to learn.
2. Personal Diary: Another good practice is to write a short account of how your day went at the end of each day, using the language you are studying. I’ve already developed a tool for this; it offers plenty of customization options (headings from h1 to h6, photo carousel support, tables, dividers, voice messages, text styling like bold and italics, etc.).
3. Flashcards: Flashcards are another great way to learn vocabulary. You can study all the words you create in the "Words" tab right here. This section brings together the best study methods: spaced repetition, reviewing specific topics, practicing specific words, and so on.
4. Speakin: Here you will be able to practice pronunciation, reading, and retelling. I plan to add an AI to the app that will serve as a great teacher for you.
The application is currently still under development, and I maintain a repository on GitHub. https://github.com/Rywent/LanGrid
This is what the panel for adding a new word looks like. Well, i forgot to mention that there is also a narrator, and you can listen to words and sentences in the language you are learning.
