News

Releases and updates for every app, newest first.

  1. New: Eclipse Local AI

    The second app in the directory: a developer AI chat that runs fully on your own computer through Ollama. Your code and chats never leave it.

    • Ask about your project, and apply the changes it suggests after seeing them as a diff.
    • Run code from an answer, search your own documents offline, and export chats.
    • One download for Windows, macOS and Linux. The first start picks a model that fits your computer.

  2. The directory is open

    A home for every app I make, starting with The Twisted Cube. Its online leaderboard and races run on the same site, so the game and its page live in one place.

  3. The Twisted Cube: the courtyard becomes a tavern

    The cottage next to the table is now a tavern with a hanging cube sign, and beyond the wall the world opens up.

    • Neighbours' houses, a village with a church and a windmill, and a castle on its own hill with a town at its foot.
    • Strip fields, hedgerows, pine woods and snowy mountains, all following the seasons.
    • Coins are now Twisted Coins.

  4. The Twisted Cube 1.0 “Together”

    The first full release, and the first one you can play with friends.

    • Online: a daily leaderboard and one-against-one races, in quick matches or private rooms.
    • New puzzles: Pyraminx, Skewb and Megaminx.
    • Speedrun with WCA inspection and penalties.
    • A spoiler-free result to share, and early support for GAN and MoYu smart cubes on Linux.

  5. The Twisted Cube 0.9 “Accounts” and 0.8 “Courtyard”

    The game moved from a dark underwater scene to a sunlit medieval courtyard, with carved wood, parchment and brass for the interface, seasons and a living scene. Player accounts arrived the same day.
