Ideas deserve
to become real.

I’m Yesser Benamara—a 29-year-old Tunisian graphic designer and indie developer living in Kilchberg, Zürich. Grindline is the first project I’m bringing toward launch.

01 / THE STORY

One idea.
A new direction.

Grindline connects the design work I already know with the development world I want to explore more deeply.

WHY GRINDLINE

The concept itself inspired me: bringing the different parts of fitness and everyday wellbeing into one connected place.

Seeing my first project come to life means a lot. I want my ideas to become useful things that can genuinely help other people.

BEYOND THE BUILD

Digital drawingA space to explore ideas without rules.

UI designWhere structure and personality meet.

GamingA different kind of problem-solving and escape.

SportsThe part that keeps the rest in balance.

Build. Listen.
Improve. Repeat.

I want to see Grindline thrive, learn from real feedback, and improve both the product and my skills. My ambition is to go deeper into development and keep finding solutions for problems I—and other people—face.

OTHER PROJECTS / A SIDE PROJECT

Another idea I’m shaping outside Grindline.

01 NATIVE IPHONE PROJECT

A softer way
to stay close.

Whereabouts is a free, ad-free iPhone app in active development that helps friends stay connected through shared locations, Moments, and conversations. It has no algorithmic feed, advertising, or tracking for profit—just a more intentional way to share places and experiences with the people you choose.

The app is still being built and refined, with its map, Moments, chat, profiles, and privacy features continuing to evolve.

ANOTHER PROJECT / A SHARED-FOCUS PLATFORM

A quieter experiment in working together.

Quiet work.
Shared intent.

TRY SHUCHU ↗Available formacOSOPEN THE LIVE PROJECT

Shuchu is a shared-focus web platform designed to make working alongside others feel calm, intentional, and connected. Users can join virtual rooms, focus together, save and edit personal notes, and move between essential spaces such as rooms, settings, and account features.

The experience combines collaborative productivity with a nostalgic Windows XP-inspired interface, using familiar desktop windows, playful system details, and a distinctive focus-orb visual identity. Shuchu was also designed with mobile use in mind, adapting the desktop-style environment into focused, one-screen navigation for smaller devices. The result is a warm, characterful productivity experience that turns quiet co-working into something more social and engaging.
