I am working on an open-source alternative to Quokka.js. https://github.com/apatki1996/quoll

It started out as a project to try Fable. It wrote a lot of the code and I am learning as I go. I am still questioning some of the design choices but so far it is working. I do want to improve it, so any feedback is welcome.

I'm working on an easy-to-embed typed language called Ekto. I am taking a lot of inspiration from Koka and aiming to support full multi-shot delimited continuations all while keeping the virtual machine deeply predictable from the host side.

I'm also rebuilding an integrated task/knowledge/publication system I'd previously built atop Gemini's Gemtext format. While I loved the simplicity, I've discovered that there are lots of burrs in that design, especially on the publication side, which I'd be able to lift by using a more fully featured document format like Djot.

Trying to polish a bunch of my projects I've worked on over the years but never had the cojones to release to the wider world:

Hallways (https://hallways.lonnycorp.com) - a web browser for 3D spaces, where instead of hyperlinks you have portals that you can seamlessly walk through

LonnyMQ (https://lonnymq.lonnycorp.com) - a performant, production-ready TS PostgreSQL message queue library and accompanying blog post that walks through its design (of which I'm quite proud of)

I continue to work on my city builder game Microlandia, launched here in HN ~6 months ago. I originally predicted a few dozen urbanism nerds would play it, but now almost 10,000 copies sold. I'm still a solo developer but now I collaborate with 2D, 3D and music artists. Which is good because the original art that I drew myself for the launch was horrible. I'm currently working on modeling energy, climate and new poli…

"... new policies like universal basic income."

Is the engine honest enough to reality to demonstrate failure?

I'm finally fulfilling a childhood dream of restoring a Heathkit oscilloscope. I managed to nab a functioning IO-12 at the thrift store for $75! Don't tell my husband that I spent more than $200 on parts and supplies for it. I've wanted a Heathkit since I learned about them as a teenager, and this is the first one I've ever seen in the wild. The original owner left the date he assembled it and his callsign written on…

$275 to restore a long-held childhood dream is cheap, I hope your husband wouldn't complain about that.

I'm working on trying to get citizens' voices into spaces of power (councils, parliaments...). So far I've been experimenting with scrapping public records and building a solo (and multiplayer) experience for replaying plenary sessions.
