Creating from the shadows
Lurking between embedded systems and web apps, between security tooling and Linux infrastructure. I build what's needed.
Open-source work and side projects
A Linux-specific fork of GitHub Desktop, synchronized with the official upstream repository and adapted for compatibility with a custom Linux distribution.
Klotzkoepfe is a 2D top-down zombie survival shooter for up to two players on a single keyboard, featuring waves of increasingly stronger zombies and unlockable weapons like shotguns, grenades, and mines. Players must coordinate tactics and weapon usage to survive and achieve the highest combo multiplier.
ScreenChaser is a Linux app that syncs your screen colors with WLED devices using Rust. It grabs your screen via Wayland, processes the colors on the GPU, and lets you tweak settings or preview the lights through a built-in web interface.
Manages environment variables securely by storing them in GNOME Keyring instead of plaintext .env files. Provides a TUI for editing and a CLI for injecting secrets into applications.
This is a web app where you can edit license plates in photos. Just mark the plate corners and choose between black bars, blurs, or a realistic fake plate—all done right in your browser, no uploads needed.
A Rust-based tool for remapping input device events at the kernel level using evdev and uinput. Supports multi-device mapping, terminal-based configuration, and integration with systemd on Linux systems.
Background and stats
xi72yow is into building practical tools and fun side projects, mostly for Linux and the web. They’ve got a mix of stuff going on, from a browser-based app for editing license plates in photos to a zombie survival game you can play with a friend on one keyboard. A lot of their work leans toward solving niche problems, like remapping input devices at the kernel level or syncing screen colors with WLED lights. They also seem to care about security and usability, with projects like a tool for managing environment variables securely using GNOME Keyring.
When it comes to tech, xi72yow keeps things pretty diverse. They write in Rust, Python, TypeScript, and even WGSL for GPU stuff. Their repos show a knack for working with Linux-specific tools like systemd and Wayland, and they’re comfortable with Docker for containerized workflows. They seem to prefer clean, efficient solutions, whether it’s using a terminal UI for configuration or integrating directly with the system. Overall, their projects feel like a mix of curiosity and practicality, with a solid focus on making things work well in their chosen environments.
