A C/C++ cross compilation toolchain for Bazel based on LLVM that compiles all target dependencies (CRT, libc, C++ stdlib, unwind libraries etc...) from source.

This means that it can cross-compile C and C++ programs that use the libc (glibc or musl) as well as the C++ stdlib (libstdc++ or llvm-libc++) out of the box without any kind of sysroot.

I made a film called "Searching For Kurosawa". This short documentary chronicles the story of Kawamura, a man who worked with legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa on the set of his opus "Ran". Kawamura was working in the BTS crew, but his footage got confiscated. It took almost 40 years to recover the footage and present that as his feature film. My film got screened at the Academy Award-qualifying Bali Interna…

An inventory system for my games in unreal engine.

Supporting grid, multiplayer, predictive moves, item locking and more.

It's been interesting and challenging. Probably the most important part is I've been learning a lot.

It was a lot of fun earlier on but it's becoming less fun the more I work on it.

After 10 years in defense tech, watching missile attacks in Ukraine and the Middle East made it clear how little most people really get about air defense. So I'm builiding this simulator which drops you into the operator’s seat. You can test out different scenarios and build an air defense network against various types of threats (stats from real world). Also have Ukraine, Israel-Iran scenarios. https://airdefense.de…

I tried Isreal-Iran scenario. So, any missile faster than 1000km/h pretty much have 0% chance of intercepting it? Data obviously classified, but this simulation is pretty fun.

Building https://www.typequicker.com Long-term, passion project of mine - I'm hoping to make this the best typing platform. Just launched the MVP last month. The core idea of the app is focusing on using natural text. I don't think typing random words (like what some other apps do) is the most effective way to improve typing. We offer many text topics to type (trivia, literature, etc) where you type text snippets. We…

This is very neat. One piece of feedback and a gripe I have with a lot of these is that missed or extra characters throw off the entire next sequence and essentially require backing up to deal with them, as opposed to wrong characters which are fine to just be mistakes you move on from. It'd be great to have some detection for when the user is continuing that re-aligns their string.

I'm working on a site (https://panoptic.live/) designed for watching multiple livestreams from different platforms at once.

You can drag and drop links from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or Kick.

You can watch multiple streams at once in a grid and/or navigate quickly and smoothly from one single stream to another.

You can add or remove streams, save mixes for later, and share mixes via URL.

It works best on a really big screen and it's decent on a laptop. Phones aren't really supported at this point. If you have a large, secondary monitor off to the side, that's ideal for passively viewing a lot of streams. Happy to answer any questions.
