29things I started.

arme.dev lists four. Those are the ones that turned into something. This is where the rest of the time went, and what it was for.

None of this is on my resume. All of it is why I can do the job.

2026

the khayal orbit
Running
Stayed with me
Two websites and a theme around khayal. The org exists so the second brain has a public home.
homebrew-tap
Running
Stayed with me
Four kilobytes of Ruby each: one tap for smart-skills, one for khayal. The smallest repos doing real jobs.
sentence
Running
Taught me
A search for sentence.wtf. The newest thing here; too new to have a history.
nest
Running
Stayed with me
All the Docker services I run on my VPS. The homelab as one folder.

tui-portfolio
Stopped
Started the next one
A portfolio that ran in the terminal, in Go. Both sites I have now came out of giving up on this.
intercom-clone
Still up
Taught me
An Intercom clone, deployed to Vercel in a day. One day of commits, one day of interest.

Follow Everywhere
Stopped
Cost me
Follow someone through a live session, like Figma. It worked. It helped people who don't understand computers, which is also why I killed it: they couldn't tell being shown from being acted for.
bst_zig
Finished
Taught me
The same binary search tree as two weeks earlier, in Zig. Nobody asked for either of them.
bst_rust
Finished
Taught me
A binary search tree in Rust. Nobody asked for it. Two weeks later I asked again, in Zig.
simple-go-service
Finished
Taught me
One day, eight megabytes. My first Go service. Proof I could write one, which was the entire feature set.
feedback
Finished
Taught me
A repo that existed to collect feedback on arme.dev. It worked, in that it taught me nobody was looking.

oru
Finished
Taught me
An assignment for Oruphones, five days long. I remember the five days better than the work.
board-openinapp
Finished
Paid once
A job assignment, finished in two days. The assignment was the point; the board was not.
ehrms
Finished
Paid once
A college final project built for someone else, then sold to a few more someones for quick money.
The PDF searcher
Running
Stayed with me
A PDF searcher, started in Python, rebuilt in TypeScript, then again in Rust in 2026. The only idea here that kept coming back.
dotfiles
Running
Stayed with me
Still pushed to. Rewritten more times than anything else here.
scripts
Running
Stayed with me
Shell scripts for my own convenience. Still updated, still unglamorous.
scam
Still up
Taught me
Every practical-exam answer behind a password, back when nobody else was doing that. Way ahead of the technology, apparently.

online-code-editor
Stopped
Cost me
Created and pushed on the same day. Whatever the plan was, it did not survive the second day.
jnnhub
Stopped
Taught me
A hub for JNNCE, the college I studied at. It didn't go as planned.
dbms
Finished
Taught me
Five weeks of commits on a database server and its client. At the time, the longest I had ever stuck with anything.

armedev.github.io
Empty
Taught me
I made the repo and never pushed anything to it.
netart-test
Finished
Taught me
An assignment for netart, my first internship. The work was small; the fact that someone paid for code was not.

Torq-Motors
Still up
Stayed with me
A site for selling used motorbikes, and an admin dashboard for it. Bikes were already in my work six years ago and I didn't notice.
react-context-api
Finished
Taught me
Learning Context API by building the same thing twice.
scraper
Stopped
Taught me
9KB and a single day of commits. I no longer remember what it scraped, which is its own result.
personal-portfolio
Still up
Started the next one
The 2020 attempt at self-description. The first of five, and the lineage that ends at this site.

Insta_Bot
Stopped
Taught me
An Instagram auto-liker. I wanted to know if attention could be automated. It could, and it meant nothing.
Basics_python
Finished
Started me
The first repo. June 2019. I had no idea what I was doing and I have never been happier about a piece of code.
