THE STORY OF SNIGDHA OS

๐ŸŒŸ The Story and Name Behind Snigdha OS

๐Ÿ’ก The Name

The name Snigdha OS carries a deeply personal significance to its creator, Eshan Roy, widely known as Eshanized. As the founder, lead maintainer, and developer of Snigdha OS, Eshan drew inspiration for the name from Mubasshira Snigdha, a figure of immense importance in his life.

Initially, the project was known by its codename "Project N" during the early development phase. However, when the first official release was launched on December 31, 2023, Eshan chose to rebrand it as Snigdha OS to honor Mubasshira Snigdhaโ€™s memory.

Eshan, the former CEO of Tonmoy Infrastructure, continues to receive unwavering support from the company. Tonmoy Infrastructure remains a key backer of Snigdha OS, ensuring its development thrives. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ’” The Story

Behind the name lies a heartfelt and poignant story. Mubasshira Snigdha, Eshan Roy*โ€™s late girlfriend, tragically passed away in 18th June, 2023. Her untimely departure left a profound impact on **Eshan*, inspiring him to immortalize her memory through his work.

Naming the project Snigdha OS was Eshanโ€™s way of creating a living tribute to herโ€”a meaningful endeavor that would preserve her name and legacy. Through this operating system, her memory continues to inspire users and developers worldwide. ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ’™

Snigdha OS is not just a technological creationโ€”itโ€™s a testament to love, loss, and the enduring power of remembrance. The operating system embodies a vision for innovation while standing as a beautiful memorial to Mubasshira Snigdhaโ€™s impact on Eshan's life.
