Vizza – Interactive, Beautiful Simulations
I recently released a new version of my hobby project Vizza. It's a free desktop app of various beautiful visualizations. I've been working on it for several months now and I wanted to share it with y'all.
Vizza – Interactive, Beautiful Simulations launched on September 9, 2025 with 9 votes, #1,272 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
A desktop application featuring interactive simulations built with Tauri, Svelte, and WebGPU. - Velfi/Vizza
A collection of interactive GPU-accelerated simulations for fun and beauty. Features a friendly UI that puts you in control. Download the latest version for your platform from the releases page . Then, open the downloaded file and install the app, usually by double-clicking on it. You'll have to click past security warnings because I haven't paid for a developer certificate yet. Once the app is installed, you can run it like any other app. Presets and color schemes you create will be saved to your Documents folder. Agent-based simulation where creatures follow trails to create emergent networks. Reaction-diffusion simulation modeling chemical reactions that create organic patterns.…from github.com

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
