My two biggest projects are:

https://www.idlequest.net/ - a from-scratch recreation of the 1999 MMORPG classic EverQuest, featuring a real-time MMO server written in Go, a 3D game browser-based client built with Babylon.js, and the clasic UI recreated using React. You can play it both as a regular MMORPG but also in "idle mode" where it basically plays itself. This had up to 70 players online at once a while back which was really cool, though its popularity is in a bit of a lull right now. There are still tons of bugs and stuff that isn't fully implemented (and balance issues) but it's still fun for most people who have nostalgia for it.

https://www.newyokosuka.com/ - an unofficial Shenmue MMO experience. Based on the 1999 Sega Dreamcast game Shenmue, it's playable entirely in your browser! It's basic world exploration with forklift shenanigans, some basic dialogue systems, and a basic combat system test, but I'm about to push an update that includes all cutscenes and story progression as well. The story part is taking a bit of time because I'm having to mold it to fit in an MMO context. But it's a fun project to work on and the Shenmue community loves it so far.

I used to teach C to students many years ago, and with agents it's becoming a niche craft. C is still both an important and fun language to use, and I've been very slowly making a C language course to let beginners learn a bit about the language and practice writing simple code with no AI: https://c-course.com A work in progress, and will stay so for much longer, I guess.

I've always had a sweet spot for using C for pet projects. For some reason, I find it soothing to work with the language. I think there is still room for this language to be taught to beginners.

for you tennis players out there, I'm working on RallyClip, an app for free tennis match segmentation. It's a free and open source alternative to SwingVision:

I'm working on model performance and an iOS app right now; would love feedback on the macOS desktop app.

I’m iterating on a constellation of git collab services that I’m calling “the disappearing code forge.” All self hostable with a focus on minimalism and Unix philosophy.

I just revamped the collaboration portion which is a patchbin service: https://pr.pico.sh

As part of that I work im also iterating on the ci/cd solution we are calling pici: https://ci.pico.sh

Working on the chainsaw for my centaur form factor robot. Have one part to machine then just need to weld everything up and will be ready to try it out. It uses a motor and controller sourced from an E foil, and has 2DOF position control. https://www.satyress.com/buildprogress I've also been slowly chipping away at a Jagged Alliance 2-like game in Godot. Nothing to share yet but if anyone else is also frustrated that…

I recalled what it was about before even clicking the link, and I've only seen it once. You are really good at making people remember your products. The first time, I thought it was a hoax, or a FNAF variant because of the design of the robot and the tone of the website, but if it happens to become a real product, congrats, I hope you'll find success with it.

A tmux plugin that makes is better to work with many agents:

https://github.com/Ymirke/tmux-agent-switcher

You press ctrl+n and you get a sidebar showing all the tmux tabs you currently have and the statuses of the agents.

The sidebar then has a couple different navigation modes based on what floats your boat, toggle by tab:

1. Using vim bindings j/k, and supporting number -> j/k to go up or down quickly.

2. Using number -> number. Meaning you press the number of session then number of tab.

3. Using search, useful if you have a ton of sessions open.

I really like what herdr, cmux and others are doing in this space, but I find it hard to get myself away from my core tmux setup, so I made this to not have to change too much of how I work.
