About
About
Hi, I'm Sami Aktaş. I live in Adana, Türkiye, and I'm starting my software entrepreneurship journey with this very site.
The story of how I got here actually began with a letdown. I trusted quite a few people online who said "I built this with AI — click and buy it," and paid them — but most of it wasn't as easy as it looked, and some of it wasn't even real. So I decided to do the exact opposite.
Here I'll show whether something is genuinely possible — whether it earns users or revenue over time — without misleading anyone. If a project takes off, I won't just say "look, it worked": from day one to the day it took off — maybe 8 months — what happened, where I got stuck and how I solved it will all be here, dated line by line.
That's what build in public means to me: sharing the process as it is, honestly. If you'd like to try building something yourself, you can follow every step I take right here — what I did, where, and how.

İş modeline göre köklü sadeleştirme canlıda
Payda bugün en büyük değişimini yaşadı: iş modeline uymayan her şey silindi, kalan her şey tek kurala oturdu. Komisyon artık tek model — satıştan brüt yüzde; maaş ve satış-başı modeller, görev atama, bankacı giriş rolü ve genel gider kategorileri tamamen kaldırıldı. Satış girişi dört zorunlu alana indi (hesap, banka, kategori, üslup), müşteri kaydına numara bazlı engelleme geldi (taciz eden müşteri hangi hesaptan gelirse gelsin sorguda 🚫 ENGELLİ çıkıyor), görevlerin yerini hesaba bağlı tarihli hatırlatmalar aldı. Silmenin en zor kısmı kod değil kanıttı: her silinen parçanın gerçekten çağrılmadığı grep kanıtıyla raporlandı, bağımsız bir denetçi ajan rastgele örneklemle doğruladı ve test takımı yeni modele göre yeniden yazıldı — 1140 kontrol yeşil. Canlıdan da dört ölü fonksiyon silindi; biri açık kalsaydı dört-göz onayını atlatma yolu olurdu.
Daily System Improvements
Today I improved my daily system. I made data handling more realistic.
Admin Panel and API Integration
Today I connected the Grok API to the site. I built a simple admin interface to add new projects and change images. Automatic publishing feature was also added.
Fixed Translation Crash Issue
Today I fixed the crash problem during translation. Now your texts will translate more reliably.
Updates on the Devam Project
Today I worked on the Devam app. I updated some sections and noted the project status. From now on I'll focus only on the relevant area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions — for both AI and search engines.
Are the revenue and expense figures real?
Yes. Every project's costs and earnings are shared openly with their dates; the goal is to practice open entrepreneurship (build in public).
What do you work on?
I build web-based SaaS applications, AI-powered tools and digital products.
Where can I buy the products?
Every item in the Store links to its own sales/download page.
