Useless things? ➰🗿🤏

On creating useless things

I like making software things that may not quite be useless, but only get used by me. I like making whatever I have a whim to make. I don't have to care about what anyone else wants or needs.

List of almost-useless things I made

jhttpd - web server - no one should use it
Jix - client for LJ scrapbook - long since stopped working
Compositor - desktop UI framework
Jetris - version of a well known game
ShowGC - garbage collection log viewer
RETest - regex test bed (and sanity saver)
Tilex - desktop tile maker
Quircus - IRC client
FTree - file manager
Snowflake - symmetrical drawing app
anims - terminal animation framework
Jemi - Gemini client
Rolling Island - game for mobile - available on PocketCode app
PocketPinball - game for mobile - in progress
Whitespace - esoteric language implementation
Hashtag crawler for Geminispace
Gallery tabs - browser extension, opens images in tabs
Tinymine - game for Thumby - in progress

Some of these are publicly available. I'm not linking to any of them, though.
