About Ravlik — Practical AI Tools, Coding Experiments, and Slow Engineering

Share

Welcome to Ravlik.com.

This blog is written by a web developer with more than 20 years of practical experience in code, servers, WordPress, Linux, small tools, and now AI-assisted development.

The site is a working notebook, but not a random one. The main focus is practical AI tools: coding agents, language models, OpenRouter, Claude Code, Codex, pi.dev, Kimi, creative automation, and small projects that can be tested in the real world.

So, why the name “Ravlik”?

“Ravlik” (равлик) is the Ukrainian word for snail. It fits the approach here: slow, steady, and deliberate progress instead of chasing every shiny tool without checking whether it actually works.

This blog is for you if:

  • You want practical AI tool tests with real constraints, numbers, and failures.
  • You build small software projects and want to understand which coding agents help and where they break.
  • You care about useful automation, not generic AI hype.
  • You like technical explanations that connect tools, costs, workflow, and results.

A good starting point is the analysis of why Kimi K2.6 became popular on pi.dev. For a practical project, start with CutEase, the sheet cutting optimization tool.

AI is used here as a tool, not as a substitute for checking. Current claims are verified against live tools, product pages, documentation, screenshots, or direct testing whenever possible.
