In plain words
Mayo is a lightweight web-based audio player that functions offline, built for users seeking an alternative to subscription streaming services. It uses SolidJS and Tailwind CSS on the front end with IndexedDB for storage, while the backend runs on Bun, Astro, and SQLite with full-text search capabilities. The application downloads audio files locally and works entirely without internet connectivity once set up, making it suitable for anyone wanting to self-host their music collection with a modern, functional interface.

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
