I have a few embedded devices where flash space is limited. tmux is so much smaller than zellij, and it's not even close.

Zellij is close to 50 megabytes, but tmux and all dependent libraries (minus libc, it's always there) is about 2 megabytes.


Games. Well, mostly tooling surrounding them it seems. In the last 2 months I've made a pixel art editor for Android, a headless population simulator(still balancing parameters on this one, not enough NPC's turn to crime at present, and I've also run into some weird issues with market prices, in one instance the price of meat rose enough to cause a integer overflow. I could switch to i64, but honestly meat was supposed to cost around 20 moneys, not 2³²

I'm also working on a 2d procedural animation plugin for bevy, a autotiling plugin for bevy (using 16 tile-dual grid, which the default bevy autotiling plug-in didn't support) and ofc my android pixel editor now has a rig editor mode and a tile editor mode that integrates with the plugins.

Making video games is hard! I keep getting side tracked!


Im building https://trypixie.com to legally employ my 7 year old child, save on taxes and contribute to her Roth IRA.

I also built https://statphone.com - One emergency number that rings your whole family and breaks through DND.

I'm still obsessed with making my game, which you can try it at the link above (it is desktop only). This is my first "real" game, and it has been incredibly fun and rewarding. I've been working on it in the evenings for about 4 or 5 months.

It is a very ambitious mix of genres - shoot-em-up and deck-building. A lot of people said that those are genres that shouldn't be combined, but I think it turned out to be a fun little game. Folks who are not fans of one (or either) of the genres are actually playing it. I built a global high-score leaderboard, and there are people (including a few of my friends) competing on it. Whoever knocks my friend "BER" from first place will earn a beer from me.

This is purely a fun project, although I'm now seriously considering releasing it on steam when I finish everything I planned for it. It is made in Kaplay, a small JavaScript gamedev library, which is a big part of what makes it fun. If you try it out, please leave a comment, I would love more feedback!


I got addicted to scrolling content on my phone, so I built a digital pet whose growth and well-being depends on you staying off your phone! This way, if I spend all night scrolling the browser, my pet will get depression.

Unlike similar apps such as Focus Friend or Forest, which use active timers to police screen time, my app is an inversion that works like an idle game; All screen time is tracked all day, (with double the punishments at night), and upon check-in, you get feedback on your device usage.
