👨‍💻 About the Author

I'm Hamze Ghalebi, CTO at Remolab, passionate about building tools that improve developer workflows. This Projects Indexer is part of a collection of tools I originally built for my own use, and I've decided to open source it in case others find it helpful.

As someone who works with many projects simultaneously, I created this tool to help me index and track all my projects effectively. It helps me maintain a clear overview of my project collection, making it easier to find and manage different projects across various domains.

Many of the tools I create solve specific pain points in my daily workflow with cloud infrastructure and development environments. If you have any feedback or suggestions for improvements, please feel free to contribute!
