I built an infinite wall where makers claim their permanent spot on the internet

I had one simple idea. What if there was one giant wall on the internet where every person building something could just claim their spot. Not a feed. Not a portfolio template. Just a wall, and your tile is on it forever.

So I built it. It's called OneWall.

You sign up, claim your tile, add your name, what you're building, your links. That's it. Your tile sits on an infinite canvas that anyone can drag around and explore. No algorithm deciding who gets seen. No posts that disappear after 24 hours. Just you, on the wall, permanently.
The feature I'm most proud of is the collab beacon. Toggle it on when you're open to co-founders, collabs, or just want to connect. Your tile starts pulsing. Others can filter the wall to only see makers with the beacon on. It turns the wall into a live networking tool.

It's completely free. Go claim your number before someone else does.

Built a React component that encrypts copied text while keeping it readable on screen

Kabir — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 04:53:22 +0000

Made react-text-protect to solve a problem on my educational platform - students copying exam questions to share or feed into AI tools.
How it works:
Text displays normally, but copying it outputs encrypted gibberish using a randomized Vigenère cipher. The encryption key is generated fresh on each render and never exposed, making it impossible to decrypt.

Usage:

import { ProtectedText } from "react-text-protect";

function App() {
  return (
    <ProtectedText>
      This text looks normal but
      copying it produces encrypted
      output that cannot be decoded.
    </ProtectedText>
  );
}

Copy output:

*Jeb lhag fdiax josfi kljpdy ftq ut peryuobv xvvrf
*

Why this approach:

No broken right-click menus or accessibility issues
Can't be bypassed with inspect element
Maintains normal text behavior
Zero dependencies, ~2KB

Use cases:

Online exams & assessments
Blocking AI scrapers
Proprietary documentation
Any content that needs to be readable but not copyable

Check it out: npm install react-text-protect
