About

I've always learned frontend by building in public. Years ago, when Bootstrap defined the era, I shipped Turkuaz; a CSS framework I wrote to understand CSS deeply. That instinct hasn't changed. I still build to stay current; only how I build has.

The real time sink is usually the project skeleton, the conventions, the hooks you rewrite every time, and the rules that keep an AI agent from writing code at random. ViraStack sits right there: Feature-Sliced structure, starters, hooks, and agent rules; a ready foundation you can pick up and run with.

Before ViraStack, the organization was briefly called Vassale; a nod to a craft of joining pieces, and to bringing projects together. It was hard to discover, awkward for SEO, and too close to the English word vassal. So I looked for something else: workable as a global brand, still carrying a small thread of Turkish culture.

That word was Vira!; a call fishermen on Turkey's Black Sea coast use when hauling nets or lines, roughly “heave!” or “haul!” I paired it with Stack, and you get ViraStack: ViraStack Start, ViraStack AI, ViraStack Mask, and the rest.

The turquoise in our logo is deliberate too: it comes from Turkuaz CSS, and I still love that color.

When I look at shadcn, I see the path I was chasing with Turkuaz; he carried it much further. Tanner is a master of this craft; one of the clearest bars for what I'm building with ViraStack. I look to them as role models.
