Newsletter February 2025: A New Code Hosting Platform?
When I came across XXIIVV in last month, I immediately got interested in the idea that in order to be able to run our software many, many years from now, we need to target a small virtual machine that we can re-implement in a weekend. Their virtual machine is called Uxn:
Uxn is the virtual machine powering the Hundred Rabbits software.
I spent some time reading about Uxn and trying it out. I also started documenting my research in a blog post. Then I got distracted by other things.
One thing that distracted me was starting working on my own code hosting platform. It will be tailored to my specific needs and my projects. I wrote about some of my needs back in 2017 in A new home for Timeline and I also have new ideas for what I want today.
I made pretty good progress, and I think I can soon start using it for some of my projects.
However, as with most of my hobby projects, I got distracted. This time by a snowboarding vacation. We’ll see what my interest decides to continue working on when I have the time and motivation.
