Building in public: Updates and progress.
2026 W07: The Assembly Line (and the pleasure of deleting legacy code)
How we went from craftsmanship to industrial production: 11 interactive tutorials in 7 days. A technical chronicle on scaling, technical debt, and the art of teaching geometry without using words.
Read entry 2026 W06: Teacher Mode (Or how we taught users to think like the machine)
We redesigned the onboarding system. No more static texts. We implemented an interactive 'Teacher Mode' that guides you step by step, detects your confusion, and celebrates your small victories.
Read entry 2026 W05: The Quest for Mathematical Truth (and why we imported a quantum physics library)
A 3000-word chronicle on how we tried to add two 'simple' games and ended up fighting NP-Complete problems. The story of how a simple light board forced us to use industrial SAT Solvers and how integer division almost destroyed our mental health.

2026 W04: The Silent Referee (and why deleting buttons is the best UX improvement)
A technical and philosophical dive into eliminating UI bureaucracy. How we moved from asking the user to fill out forms to creating a Reactive Auto-Verification system, and how we optimized O(N) graph cycle detection to run at 60fps.
Read entry 2026 W03: The Safety Net (Or how we implemented Undo in 10 games at once)
The detailed technical story behind the implementation of the Undo/Redo system in PuzzleHub: design patterns, concurrency problems with coroutines, efficient memory management, polymorphic serialization, and the search for the perfect UX on Android.

2026 W01: House Cleaning and Solid Foundations (Extended Version)
Starting the year by bringing order to chaos. A technical chronicle of how we dismantled a 600-line ViewModel, unified time logic with Flows, and improved Slitherlink's invisible accessibility.
Read entry Research: Clawdbot and Local-First Architecture
Research diary on Clawdbot. Beyond the tutorial, here I analyze the decentralized architecture and Gemini 3.0 integration challenges.
