    Discontinued Susam's Maze • Main website: https://susam.in/maze/ • Mirror: https://susam.github.io/maze/ (by susam)

    It does appear to handcrafted HTML, generated using [1].

    > This is a static website generated using a Common Lisp program. See github.com/susam/maze for the source code of this website[2]

    > Just like the original website, every line of HTML and CSS that appears in the website is handcrafted.[3]

  • susam.net

    Source code of https://susam.net/

    Source code [0] is available on GitHub; looks like they wrote their own simple site generator.

    I've been thinking about something similar (maybe even simpler) for my blog too.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • spcss

    A simple, minimal, classless stylesheet for simple HTML pages

    It seems like the CSS used is shared under the MIT license by the author here: https://github.com/susam/spcss.

  • The Lounge

    💬 ‎ Modern, responsive, cross-platform, self-hosted web IRC client

    There are web front-ends to IRC that can mitigate message loss without having to run bouncers. Convos [1] and TheLounge [2] come to mind but there are others [3]

  • slackcat

    Post to Slack from stdin

    I don't see why you couldn't do the same in a Slack command-line program as well? There even seem to be examples of doing that.

  • makesite

    Simple, lightweight, and magic-free static site/blog generator for Python coders

    Thank you for sharing the link to the source code. My simple site generator is based on my wife's project makesite.py[1]. In fact, I used her site generator for a few years before I went all in on Common Lisp for my personal projects. Then I reimplemented makesite.py in Common Lisp.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • mu

    Soul of a tiny new machine. More thorough tests → More comprehensible and rewrite-friendly software → More resilient society. (by akkartik)

    This was my attempt at providing easy graphics to kids inspired by the BBC Micro: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/tree/main/shell

    Here's a 6-minute demo: https://archive.org/details/akkartik-mu-2021-06-09

    Requires Qemu, though. And no sound yet, unfortunately. I'd love contributions there or elsewhere.
