A meditative garden for iOS with no notifications, no analytics, and no interest in your attention. Tap to gather light. Grow flora. Watch the numbers fade as beauty emerges.

Gerbil Playground v1.2 adds an actor message log that makes concurrency visible: watch spawned threads exchange messages in real time. Plus ... embeddable mode for dropping live REPLs into documentation, a mobile layout, and resizable panes.

Gerbil Scheme compiles to native code, and has an actor-oriented concurrency mode. Here’s trygerbil.dev: a browser-based REPL backed by real containers, with session persistence, guided examples, and a replay system that survives container sleep.

A ritual from when my kids were small: flip the menu over, draw a grid, fill squares with crayons while waiting for food. I wanted to turn that into an app. Here’s what I built instead.

I built my daughter an AI tutor that runs on our own infrastructure, uses our own API key, and stores every conversation in a database I control. Open-sourcing it today.

Over the past couple weeks, I built “Firefly”: a walled-garden AI companion designed specifically for kids. Here’s what it looks like in action:

tl;dr: a CLI for Coalton scripts I’ve been working on Smelter: a way to use Coalton for writing shell scripts and small CLI programs. It’s an experimental way to get type-safe scripting with Common Lisp. Starting Point: Coalton Coalton is a statically-typed functional language embedded in Common Lisp. It
