A zoomable, searchable archive of BYTE magazine▲423
A while ago I was looking for information on a obscure and short lived British computer. I found an article[1] in the archives of BYTE magazine[2] - and was captivated immediately by the tech adverts of bygone eras. This led to a long side project to be able to see all 100k pages of BYTE in a single searchable place. [1]: https://byte.tsundoku.io/#198502-381 [2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17683184

Apple II clock using interrupts from physical pendulum clock▲157
A clock app for my Apple ][ clone in 6502 assembly, using interrupts generated by an inductive proximity sensor and a physical pendulum clock. I wanted to polish the code a bit more before sharing (I especially dislike the self modifying code part), but the computer seems to have developed a hardware problem lately and it keeps crashing (bad RAM chip most likely), so I am sharing as is.
