Atta Ur Rehman Shah
I’m a software engineer and the founder of Fore Studio, a small product studio. I design, build, and run my own products, and I write about how that actually goes — the launches, the mistakes, and the technical work behind them.
Who writes this site
Every article on attacomsian.com is written, edited, and published by me, Atta Ur Rehman Shah. There is no editorial team, no ghostwriters, and no syndicated or AI-generated filler. If something here is wrong, it’s my mistake, and you can tell me directly.
I’ve been publishing here since 2018. The archive is 561 articles deep and started as programming tutorials — Java, JavaScript, Node.js, Spring Boot — written while I was doing that work day to day. More recently I write about building and launching my own products.
The studio
Fore Studio started in 2020 building other people’s products. That paid the bills, but the work always belonged to someone else — so I stopped taking client projects and started shipping my own. There’s no investor deck and no growth target. The measure is whether a thing is good enough that people pay for it and keep using it.
Today that’s two web platforms for founders, a browser extension, and two Mac apps in development. You can read the full story at fore.studio.
What I build
I own and operate these products. When I write about them here, I’m writing about my own business — treat that as the conflict of interest it is. Products marked Fore Studio are built under the studio; Depost AI is run separately.
- Depost AI An AI content team that plans, writes, and designs your LinkedIn posts

- AcquireBase Fore Studio A marketplace for buying and selling internet startups and side projects

- Rimlight In development A screen-recording studio for macOS that works entirely on device

How these articles are written
- Everything is based on work I’ve actually done. Code examples are run before they’re published.
- Every article carries a visible publication date, and an updated date when it has been revised. Older tutorials are kept online because they still help people, but their age is always shown.
- Sponsored posts, when they exist, are labelled “Sponsored” on the article itself. Links to my own products are marked as mine.
- Corrections are made in place, and the updated date changes when they are.
