Projects

Products

• Terminal One(Creator): A blazingly fast, smart and and friendly terminal emulator for developers

• Doodleboard(Co-frounder): An all-in-one whiteboard with built-in doodle styles to help you easily organize, and present your ideas.

Libraries

• Blocky editor is an editor built with blocks.

• PoloDB is an embedded JSON-based database written in Rust. It's designed to be lightweight and safe. It supports query semantics like MongoDB and WAL transactions.

Experimental POCs

• CubyText is an open-source knowledge management app. (2022)

• LichenScirpt is a lightweight language compiled to JavaScript/C. (2022)

• Jetpack is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler written in C++. It can be compiled into a binary without any dependencies. It's portable, fast, and solid.

Sometimes, I will do some "hacking" on existing systems.

• I forked the OCaml to make it compiled to WebAssembly. So you can run the OCaml language in the browser.

• I wrote a CMake file for QuickJS so that you can compile it with MSVC.

• I wrote a Node.js extension, which can help you manipulate xattr on macOS.

Also, I participated GSoC in 2018. I wrote a webpack plugin to help tree-shaking.
