About Shreyas
Shreyas Bagal is the founder of BoldlyType and a digital marketer and SEO practitioner. He builds the site's tools and publishes its guides.
How the guides are made
Guides are drafted with AI assistance from primary sources (platform help centers, developer documentation, the Unicode Standard and accessibility guidelines) and published under his name. Specific claims such as character limits are checked against the source cited in each article, and a guide says so when a platform publishes no official number. They are not the product of hands-on testing on every device. The editorial standards page has the full details, including how corrections work.
