I'm interested in using a WebOS like this: github| live embedded into Unix platform like this browsix with support for frontend website like this from webflow template (webflow code export) as switches to toggle between frontend and backend codes of projects. I know it may sound a bit weird, but please DM, and we can discuss more.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
264 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 May 2021

At this point I've made a habit out of building homebrew tools and languages. Very few of these are purely because I was dissatisfied with off-the-shelf solutions; many of these just exist because I thought it would be fun/educational/challenging to build an X for myself from scratch.
I've made
- A dynamic programming language, Ink (https://dotink.co), which runs in "production" (for whatever that means for side projects) for around a dozen projects written in it.
- A compiler to compile that to JavaScript (https://github.com/thesephist/september)
- A bunch of language tooling around that language, like syntax highlighters, editor plugins, code formatters (for example, the code formatter https://github.com/thesephist/inkfmt)
- A small UI library (https://github.com/thesephist/torus)
- A suite of productivity tools (https://thesephist.com/posts/tools/) like notes, todos, shared whiteboard, contacts/CRM
- Twitter client (https://github.com/thesephist/lucerne/)
- Theres a few dozen more at (https://thesephist.com/projects/) :)
Many of these end up building on top of each other, so across the few dozen projects built on top of these tools they form a nice dependency graph -> https://twitter.com/thesephist/status/1367675987354251265
