some things i did on the internet.

türksigara.net (2022 - ongoing)
a shitpost website that somehow became a cultural artifact
built it in a few hours as a joke.
then i found the original meme creator and gave him access to curate the memes.
it later spread on the internet, widely enough that some people started
producing unofficial merch (t-shirts, lighters etc.) and selling them on
peer-to-peer marketplaces.
see the other sites inspired by turksigara -> turkkedi.net and turkbira.net
i also produced some merch myself to share with friends.

r/place guide, the flag, portrait and more (2022 and 2023)
deployed a coordination website for the turkish community that became the national reference for the event.
got in touch with the the top turkish streamer (elraenn) to make it more visible,
it reached millions of views, appeared on national TV, and led to a job offer.
after seeing emirhan's flag proposal, i contacted him and made a few adjustments to the design.
the final flag wasn't accepted by the streamer, who went with another one instead.
it became the banner of r/Turkey right after the event and stayed that way for over 4 years.
see the summary of the event: youtube
succeeded with our flag design in the final event.

osuhileindir.xyz (2019 - 2023)
a fake cheat website for the rhythm game osu.
my dawg baris, 'partner in crime', was using the domain as an image host.
i took it over and built a downloadable binary, a backend for the mandatory
account creation, and a fake support channel with fake staff.
it was the #1 result on google for "osu hile" for years and was one of the
most popular running jokes in the turkish community. moderators were muting
people in the global chat just for mentioning the initial letters o.h.i.
