About LiDa Software

LiDa Software started as a small side project by Hen Faibish, a developer who just couldnโ€™t stop building things, even on weekends. Itโ€™s not a company with investors, slogans, or slides full of buzzwords. Itโ€™s just one guy who really loves code and believes good ideas should be shared, not locked behind paywalls or jargon. LiDa creates small, useful, sometimes weird tools... the kind that make developers smile, save time, or say โ€œoh, thatโ€™s actually clever.โ€ No hype. No AI drama. Just clean code, curiosity, and the joy of making things work (eventually). When Hen isnโ€™t coding, heโ€™s probably testing another idea, writing about software, or explaining to his kids why โ€œjust five more minutesโ€ of debugging can actually mean an hour.

โšก Motto: build cool stuff, keep it simple, and share what you learn.
