I Reached My First 100 GitHub Stars (and Why It Was Harder Than Fundraising)

I have quite an story to tell, multiple time migrant, failures and success, I am usually not open to discuss but this 100 Github stars made me realize you cant get something unless you ask for, so here simple snippet of current milestone. I come from a small, poor village in Sindh, and I was probably the first person from it to go to university. I started in the insurance sector, then moved to Dubai and became an award-winning seller. After that came nine years in the startup world: one success, two grand failures, and four migrations and ended Up at Station F Paris (World’s Largest Startup Campus). I don’t complain about any of it, and I rarely even talk about it, because all I have is an amazing journey.

But today isn’t about me, It’s about my first 100 GitHub stars.

The Product Behind the Stars

I’m building ZizkaDB, an operational database that answers the why behind every agentic action. When an AI agent does something, most systems can tell you what happened. ZizkaDB is built to tell you why.

That is a notoriously hard problem, and it needs a specialized stack. Finding people who understand that stack, and who have the patience to build it with me, was harder still
