Production-ready Zig template for Flipper Zero apps

If you've debugged a null pointer exception on a Flipper Zero, you know the pain - the device crashes, you reflash, add print statements, repeat. Memory bugs in embedded C are brutal because they only surface at runtime on the actual hardware. This template lets you write Flipper Zero applications in Zig, giving you: - Memory safety and compile-time error checking - Bounds-checked arrays and explicit error handling - Clean build system that works cross-platform - Integration with UFBT for packaging and deployment - No special IDE required - just Zig, UFBT, and your editor The interesting…

What it does

Contribute to NishantJoshi00/flipper-template development by creating an account on GitHub.

A modern, production-ready template for developing Flipper Zero applications using the Zig programming language. This project provides a streamlined build system that integrates Zig with the Flipper Zero SDK, enabling developers to write type-safe, memory-safe applications for the Flipper Zero platform. This template bridges Zig's powerful build system and language features with the Flipper Zero firmware development kit. It handles the complex integration between Zig's ARM Cortex-M4 cross-compilation and the Flipper SDK, providing a clean starting point for customfrom github.com

    Hi! I've been working on the flipjump project, a programming language with 1 opcode: flip (invert) a bit, then jump (unconditionally). So a bit-flip followed by more bit-flips. It's effectively a bunch of NOT gates. This language, as poor as it sounds, is RICH. Today I completed my compiler from C to FlipJump. It takes C files, and compiles them into flipjump. I finished testing it all today, and it works! My key interest in this project is to stretch what we know of computing and to prove that anything can be done even with minimal power. I appreciate you reading my announcement, and be…

  • I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

  • Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
