What it does

Tophat allows you to easily accomplish everything programatically and doesn't force you to work with annoying editors. However you can always make your own ad-hoc editor. Tophat includes many built-in modules. Some are necessary, but most of them are optional and just extend the few base ones. If you don't like some of them, you can implement your own ones using native C extensions. Tophat's source is open and licensed under BSD-3. The source code is small, under 10k lines (excluding dependencies). The well known flappy bird game, written in tophat. It is very small and simple - implemented in just one 300 line file. The space shooter is an arcade game, where you have to shoot enemies…from tophat2d.dev

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
