hi i'm ethan

professional yapper. amateur programmer. serial project abandoner.

i make things that probably shouldn't exist. most of them are in go, rust, or java for some reason. i do not know why.

while (sleep_deprived) {
  new_project();
  abandon(old_project);
}

the greatest hits (debatable)

thing what happened
desmosinator made desmos play midi. graphing calculator → daw pipeline. no regrets
dappendble wrote a database. it's fast because the index lives in ram. that's a feature
lapis-mc minecraft server manager #3. yes there are three. no i will not explain
MergeMaterial tinder but for project ideas. swipe right on "build a blockchain for cats"
gopher-ctf ctf platform for school. runs on postgres and sometimes
frostbyte fps + spleef in 9 hours. the server url is dead. the dream is not its dead

currently pretending to work on

  • rebar — wayland status bar. clone of a bar i liked. works on my pc only. classic
  • lapis-mc — stratum but newer and somehow still no auth

i keep coming back to

Rust Go Java Svelte Flutter Slint ungodly hours

fun facts

  • once automated mouse clicks to draw in gartic phone. Gartic-Phone-Drawer. not anticheat proof. morally questionable
  • built a bakery website for some random local company in cshs. RavensSweetHaven. the styling is bad and i said so in the readme
  • my build system is called jild. java + build = jild. ba dum ts. jild. this is how all things should be named
  • used github as a backend. MergeMaterial. actions runs a cron job, commits json to the repo, github pages serves it. no database. no server. just vibes and version control
  • once made an entire compiler and transpiler for a stupid pun. c_blunt worth it

the lion does not concern himself with

  • finishing projects
  • writing tests
  • memory safety or actually any kind of safety

if you're reading this you probably clicked through from one of my repos wondering "who made this"

answer: me. sorry.
