I'm Winn Htut Hein, a high schooler from Myanmar. Following up on my last project, I wanted to share my other live app, <strong>BLOC</strong>.</p> <p>BLOC is a minimalist daily planner that unifies tasks, focus blocks, habit tracking, and a calendar view all into a single dashboard. My goal was to create a clean workspace without the clutter of traditional apps.</p> <p>Since I am learning how to properly architect frontends and manage complex UI states (syncing habits, timers, and calendar events seamlessly), I would love to get your honest feedback.</p> <ul> <li>How is the layout/UX? Does it feel intuitive?</li> <li>If you look at the repo, how can I clean up my frontend state management?</li> </ul> <p>Live site: <a href="https://yitbloc.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://yitbloc.site/</a><br> Source code: <a href="https://github.com/winnhtuthein/BLOC" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/winnhtuthein/BLOC</a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fh98gu3yb5ly15vhzzot5.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fh98gu3yb5ly15vhzzot5.png" alt=" " width="800" height="588"></a></p> <p>I'm eager to learn how to make my code and interfaces cleaner.

I'm Winn Htut Hein, a high school student from Myanmar learning to build and ship software. </p> <p>I recently launched an offline privacy tool called <strong>ZeroLeak</strong>. It runs 100% client-side in the browser to strip API keys, tokens, and secrets from code snippets before you paste them into AI chats like Claude or ChatGPT.</p> <p>Since I am focused on learning how to design proper architectures, I would love some honest code feedback from the community. </p> <p>Is a pure client-side regex parsing tree secure enough for this? How can I improve my project setup?</p> <p>You can check out the source code here: <a href="https://github.com/winnhtuthein/zeroleak" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/winnhtuthein/zeroleak</a><br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F8n29eandugooowwj5zd7.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F8n29eandugooowwj5zd7.png" alt=" " width="800" height="369"></a></p> <p>Any advice or criticism is highly appreciated!</p> webdev ai automation
