Hi everyone ๐
Iโm an independent developer from India, and Iโm currently building Astra Client โ a Minecraft launcher designed to be fast, lightweight, and community-focused.
This post isnโt a tutorial or a launch announcement.
Itโs simply me sharing why I started this project and what Iโm learning along the way.
๐ก Why I Started Astra Client
Most popular Minecraft launchers are built outside India.
They work well, but I always felt there was space for something:
- simpler,
- performance-focused,
- and built by someone who actually plays Minecraft daily.
Astra Client started as a small side project to learn more about product development, desktop apps, and distribution. Over time, it became something I wanted to take seriously.
๐ ๏ธ What Astra Client Focuses On
Right now, Astra Client is built around a few clear goals:
- โก Fast startup and low resource usage
- ๐งฉ Clean and simple launcher UI
- ๐ Safe and transparent downloads
- ๐ Support for multiple Minecraft versions
- ๐ Continuous improvements based on feedback
Instead of trying to compete with everything at once, Iโm focusing on getting the basics right first.
๐ฎ๐ณ Building From India
One thing Iโm proud of is building this project from India.
Not as a limitation, but as motivation.
There are plenty of talented developers here, and I believe more tools and products can come from this ecosystem. Astra Client is my small step in that direction.
๐ What Iโm Learning So Far
Working on Astra Client has taught me a lot, including:
- How important user trust is (security, certificates, transparency)
- Why simplicity beats feature overload
- The value of building in public and getting early feedback
- That shipping something usable matters more than perfection
๐ค Whatโs Next
Astra Client is still evolving.
Iโm actively looking for:
- Feedback
- Bug reports
- Feature suggestions
- Early users who want to test and share thoughts
If you enjoy building products or learning in public, Iโd love to connect.
