Project notes

Why each project got started, and how it got built.

• 01 Rebon: a light, fast multi-agent coding tool in Rust Fed up with how heavy and slow existing AI coding tools were, I wrote my own in Rust: fast, light on memory, and able to run several agents at once.
• 02 PaperBell: the whole paper-writing workflow inside Obsidian Writing a paper means juggling several apps; PaperBell moves the whole flow, from finding and reading papers to writing, into Obsidian. I led its product and frontend, and moved its retrieval core to Rust.
• 03 Thino: catch ideas before they’re gone Many ideas are gone by the time a proper note is open, so I made Thino for writing them down on the spot, even offline. It has 488K downloads.
• 04 Task Genius: getting scattered tasks under control Writing tasks in Obsidian is easy, but once they’re scattered you can’t keep track of them. I built Task Genius alone to gather them into list, kanban, calendar and Gantt views; it has 182K downloads.
• 05 Su: notes and a reader you can handwrite on To mark up Markdown by hand like paper, read other languages without switching to a translator, and keep my data in my own hands, I made Su and Su Reader.
• 06 MOSS on a Mac: from over eight minutes to 46 seconds The official setup took over eight minutes per image on a Mac, too slow for daily use. With MLX and a distilled LoRA I got it to about 46 seconds, with hands and perspective as good as the official output.
• 07 One graphics card, one AI that plays Slay the Spire 2 Always wondering how to play Slay the Spire 2 better, I trained a reinforcement-learning AI from scratch on a single RTX 5060. It now wins more than 24% of runs.
• 08 Tiny TD: a roguelite tower defense I made alone in Rust Roguelite tower defense is a kind of strategy game I’m interested in, so I made a pixel-art one in Rust with Bevy, handling gameplay, art and balancing myself.
• 09 Monster duels: making Slay the Spire 2’s monsters fight I love games and like designing them, so I’ve made a lot of mods, Slay the Spire 2 among them. The monster-duel series, where monsters fight each other, peaked at 499K views for a single episode.
