Hi friends, I started casually working on scrapscript in 2015. I built a few compilers over the years to test out various ideas/implementations, and I think I'm finally happy with the overall design. The code is not public yet. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in joining the core team later this year. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback :)

Hello, I'm building a WebAssembly compiler and documenting the process in the meantime. This aims to be a tool for demonstration and education purpose. It doesn't aim to do fancy stuff nor to replace existing ones. I'm building this to learn and to improve and hopefully it can be useful for others as well :) From last time I've presented the idea, I've implemented more basic features on Luna and I've built a custom and tiny runtime for Luna! (documenting it of course). Any feedback is really appreciated :) Repo: https://github.com/thomscoder/luna

Tiny Moon is a tiny Swift library to calculate the moon phase for any given date, works super fast, and works completely offline. All of this started when I realized that we only have 12, sometimes 13, full moon's in a year. That doesn’t seem like that many. I set out to build a MacOS app to remind me when a full moon occurs, so that I could take a moment and step outside to appreciate it. The MacOS app I ended up creating can be found at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tiny-moon/id6502374344 along with the source code [0], all powered by the Tiny Moon library. I…
