🚀 Releases §

Beat Kanji (2025-12-12) §

• got bored of flashcards for kanji practice
• made a rhythm game where you draw kanji to the beat (like Beat Saber)
• → GitHub

Zeitgeist - Stories for You (2025-10-21) §

• Stories, as a format are great for capturing moments, thoughts, and ideas
• However, stories on social media are always public
• Zeitgeist lets you capture stories privately and explore them on a map or grid
• → Homepage

Zettel — Fast Note-Taking (2025-09-01) §

• Built for quick idea capture because everything else felt too slow
• Minimal UI, opens fast and stays out of the way
• → GitHub

Buffertab (2025-07-21) §

• Just a scratchpad for when you don’t want accounts, files, or friction

• Easy to bookmark, share, and forget about later
• → GitHub

Zugspaet (2025-07-21) §

• Deutsche Bahn kept disappointing me, so I built a tracker
• Look up historical delay data for specific routes

• → GitHub

BrainForge (2025-01-26) §

🚀 Launching BrainForge - and IDE for your brain!
(okay - that sounds exaggerated, it's pretty much just an @obsdmd clone I built in ~7 days)

Kanji Vault (2024-12-19) §

• Maps kanji by their building blocks (radicals) instead of random lists
• Makes studying feel more like exploring a graph than grinding flashcards
• → GitHub

StartTree V2 (2024-09-23) §

• Wanted a start page that looks like the tree command
• Clean, hierarchical bookmarks
• No bloat—just links in a terminal-ish layout
• → GitHub

💡 Obsidian 3D Graph plugin (2023-12-19) §

• The 2D graph felt a bit dead, so I made it 3D to make big note networks easier to read
• → Obsidian 3D Graph plugin

💡 Obsidian note linker plugin (2023-12-19) §

• Got tired of manually hunting for note connections
• Auto-links notes using regex rules
• → Obsidian note linker plugin

TinyCompTS (2022-05-07) §

• I wanted to understand how compilers actually work
• So I built a tiny one from scratch in TypeScript
• Great learning project, not something you’d ship
• → GitHub

🤖 Prototypes §

🧑‍💻 GPT-Lang (2023-03-24) §

Built a compiler to turn natural language into JavaScript.
It works like a normal compiler, except that it uses GPT-4 to translate parts of the abstract syntax tree into code.
Meaning, it's possible to build module support, build caching etc. on top of it. pic.twitter.com/EJSxQMFTi9
