Anecdote, I like wired headphones for important online calls. I use earpods[1], I started using them back when they came with a phone, I'm happy that it's still possible to buy replacements. I like having a reliable wired connecti

Nonograms! I built Nonodle[1], a daily nonogram puzzle game and I’m adding an option to access these puzzles from Nonoverse[2], my iOS nonogram app. There is an API, and it’s a straightforward task, but one thing led to another and I’m also

This is a very fun project, I like its UX a lot too. I generally dislike timers, but I discovered that this one can be customized in the settings, this is a nice touch. I also like how the sharing feature only prepares the text that the use

Yes, that’s exactly how it works. Each number specifies the size of the corresponding group. E.g. numbers “5 4 7” would mean: “three groups of filled cells, first group will consist of 5 cells, second will consist of 4 cells, third group wi

This is a free app. Always look at the native iOS in app popup and here it says the same thing. Double check your charge, it must be something unrelated. Don’t accuse people of scams without doing this check first.

I built this, the list started as a tutorial and then grew out of control. Especially when I started experimenting with mixing text and interactive elements. I think nonograms are underrated and relatively unknown, I hope this text changes

Fun fact for the fans of the “Baba Is You” game[1]: > the naming of the characters Baba and Keke was inspired by the bouba/kiki effect. Which makes a lot of sense for a game where meaning itself is one of the core gameplay elements.

Loosely related, a html Quine[1]. I like how it shows how little is needed and how far one can bend the rules to fit a particular use case. For my homepage I also don't use a CMS, I write raw HTML or convert markdown documents; my home

I dislike how ai is a major selling point of this computer; then again, I understand it’s a buzzword at this point. Funnily enough, with the name being “HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC”, I know I’m supposed to read it as “(next gen) ai”, b

A new spec version doesn’t mean we stop having the problem. E.g. kubernetes wrote about solving this only five months ago[1] and by moving from yaml to kyaml, a yaml subset. [1]: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/07&
