Polyglot web framework in 15 languages
A polyglot web framework implemented in 15 programming languages, with C# and Lean4 as the reference implementations. AI writes all the code, while deterministic tools run structural and behavioral audits to keep every language port consistent with the reference implementations; the codebase is about 1.8M lines. It is a one-year part-time experiment testing how far "working code → correct code → good code" can go without a human reading the code, with deterministic audits correcting structure, AI mistakes, and validating behavior.
Hissy
A Reddit alternative, a community discussion platform (currently offline).
ShrewDNS
A networking-over-DNS client and server written in Go that exposes DNS channels as UDP endpoints, usable as a building block to tunnel WireGuard, SSH, a SOCKS5 proxy over QUIC (via quicmux), or even Mosh directly over DNS. Also ships with an Android app.
Tinta
Tinta is a journal app for Android where all AI runs on the phone. After the models are downloaded it works fully offline, including in airplane mode. Users write or dictate journal entries, and a small LLM (LFM2.5 1.2B) asks follow-up questions to prompt deeper reflection; an embedding model finds older entries about the same topic and displays snippets of them under the new entry. The app is optimized to run the models on the CPU of budget phones while providing a good experience.
nichess
nichess is a chess variant that adds health points to the game.
Event Ticketing Platform
A platform for selling event tickets, positioned as an alternative to Ticketmaster or weezevent. The author is building it in their free time as a side project and is also using it to gain experience with AI tools; undecided whether to turn it into a company.
Bobby
A pull request review tool focused on ergonomics. It presents files in organized trees/graphs generated using LSPs and symbol references instead of a linear file list, offers keyboard shortcuts for navigation, pan, zoom, comment, note, and submit, and is mostly GitHub compatible with native features. It provides LSP-powered symbol resolution for inspecting definitions and references, supports LLM-powered reviews, and includes inline LLM question answering.
GTA IV multiplayer client
A FiveM/RageMP-style multiplayer client for Grand Theft Auto IV, built to bring online multiplayer play to a game whose official online scene never took off.
Weekly Thanksgiving cooking challenge
A personal weekly cooking challenge run through October and November to practice and refine a Thanksgiving day feast, with each week focused on a different dish or element such as brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and the classic sage, rosemary, and thyme seasoning blend, building up to the final meal.
Benchtop CNC milling machine rebuild
A rebuilt benchtop CNC milling machine, restored/refitted as a compact desktop machining setup.
PyneCore
A Python framework compatible with TradingView's Pine Script, enabling trading indicators and strategies to be written in Python instead of Pine Script.
PyneSys
A Pine Script compiler and full-featured IDE for Pine Script, with syntax highlighting, a language server, a full-featured debugger, charting, and data downloads. It is 99.771% bit exact on the top 1000 Pine Scripts and achieves a 100% trade match.
Puddle Watercolor
A digital watercolor painting app that simulates real-world painting techniques by modeling the physics of paper, brush bristles, pigments, water, color mixing, and drying in real time on the GPU. Built in Rust with wgpu, it runs on iPad with Apple Pencil or finger input and is currently seeking beta testers.
hello-guix
An installer for GNU Guix on Apple Silicon Macs.
Hatamoto
A self-contained platform intended as a complete replacement for WordPress and its most-used plugins, shipped as a single Go binary with no Node or compilation step. Runs on PostgreSQL, supports sandboxed plugins, and includes built-in AI analytics.
Aura Distill
A memory system for AI agents that encodes memories so they can handle ambiguity and contradictions, going beyond simple 'memory' features for personal AI agents. Framed as first-principles thinking for AI agents.
Slopjective-C 3.0
Slopjective-C, a GitHub project (doublemover/Slopjective-C) that the author continues to work on, with development ongoing toward version 3.0 and current progress tracked in pull request #8278.
IdleQuest
A browser-based idle version of EverQuest that plays itself, the result of 2+ years of development and wrapping up. The author also lists other browser-based 3D game projects on their personal site.
New Yokosuka
A browser-based 3D online version of the game Shenmue. The storyline mode is not yet available but is about 75% complete.
AT1C Protocol
A protocol in which AI agents are required to obtain human consent before acting, backed by verifiable receipts so actions can be independently verified rather than trusted on the vendor's word. It is distributed as an npm SDK.
Signy
A modern JavaScript framework focused on speed; the author's own benchmarks rank it among the fastest modern JavaScript frameworks, with plans to submit it to independent third-party benchmarks to verify the results.
Iris CSS
A CSS framework that the author has just finished building.
BEAM-based backend programming language
A new backend programming language that runs on the Erlang BEAM, serving as the foundation of the author's web tech stack.
Web applications built on the BEAM tech stack
A set of web applications being built using the author's new BEAM-based backend programming language and tech stack.
One-Article-Per-Day Reading App
Android app that helps users actually read what they save by allowing only one saved article per day; finishing today's read unlocks the next one. Twitter, Reddit, and other posts can be saved separately and revisited anytime. Currently validating interest, with a planned small closed beta for Android.
DevLens
A cloud-based context compiler and intelligent codebase visualizer for developers and AI agents, aimed at making PR review, onboarding, and architectural understanding of codebases easier.
Smashcut Games
A hub that collects a handful of movie-themed daily games that players can come back to each day.
Orpheum
A self-hosted media server for video, comparable to Plex or Jellyfin, shipping as a single Go binary deployed via Docker with a beta opening in about a month. It reaches a home server from anywhere with no port forwarding, VPN, or paywall (even behind carrier-grade NAT), supports casting to any logged-in device, and watch-together playback with synced video and voice chat that can be mixed with casting. Playback features include dialogue boost and loudness levelling per film, adaptive quality tuned for a home's upload bandwidth, and hardware transcoding with full quality in supported browsers. The library scanner explains its matches and flags guesses, and shows missing disks instead of silently vanishing titles. Data ownership is emphasized: the database is a rebuildable index, metadata corrections write back as NFO files readable by Kodi and Jellyfin, and automatic backups preserve non-derivable data (watch state, preferences, shares). Security is a primary concern: the network-facing core never opens media files or runs FFmpeg; a separate network-isolated media node handles file reads and transcodes over Unix sockets; FFmpeg is sandboxed with Landlock and seccomp; there is a small allowlisted dependency tree with pure Go and no cgo, secrets sealed at rest, optional read-only library mounting so a compromise cannot encrypt or delete media, and a cryptographically signed chain for servers and releases.
Action-style repair marketplace app
A marketplace app, modeled on Action, focused on repairs for electronics and cars: clients post their repair requests and repair masters respond with their offers.
