And just like I was hoping for when I started &gap , I can now use it for git diff when viewing local repo changes!

Finally settled on a name. Most functionality is complete, the rest is just settings. &personal-web-server

Got card rendering working for solitaire (the next game I'm working on as part of my essential &games collection for the jam)

More progress on &unimap - search by character name, and go-to-code-point (feature parity with windows' Character Map and BabelMap.)

I'm pleased with the speed at which it searches all 40,000+ char names. Was fully expecting to dive into SIMD intrinsics by now and implement a fast substring search algorithm like this one.

Next things I want to do are

• load fonts from the user's OS if possible (instead of embedding all of GNU Unifont into the binary lol)
• drag-and-drop characters onto other windows (Character Map/BabelMap feature parity)
• clean up/streamline the UI. (only really need 1 search bar that returns both characters and blocks in an intuitive fashion)

1 and 2 will require diving into Win32 finally

Speaking of &Cacophontonic, I ditched RayGui in favour of something more custom

So far I've been working on packet construction, encryption and parsing for &send-files, so no visual updates yet. Also created a GitHub: https://github.com/DanB91/Send-Files

&damian-930 I now am able to full on draw and go back and back to front. Everything is on GPU now using raylib and OpenGL texture updates that raylib doesnt have a call for but i just do it manually via opengl call. Some wrong with the how mouse pos works when transparency is on, i have not done that yet, i just turned it on for the video

&simultime Got tabs working! The look is ripped off from sublime text, except that when you have only one tab, the tab bar disappears

Shouldn't have procrastinated on the jam, but just figured out how to play an mp4 using MediaFoundation and Direct2D. Gonna be a scramble to the end :grug: &ZVideoTrimmer

Greatly improved scanning performance. Rusts .contains() uses too many SIMD instructions compared to Aho-Corasick: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/aho-corasick-algorithm-pattern-searching/.

The Linux kernel can be scanned (on a single core of intel's i7-13700HX) in 36 seconds, yielding 14272 notes. Rust's source code can be scanned in 5 seconds, yielding 11495 notes ⚡ .

worked on the peak meter today - This video actually helped me discover a bug where, if you use the "solo" functionality, it works fine for the user but OBS gets muted and it sounds like everything is cut out :thonk: whoops... I guess the peak meter also doesn't distinguish between recording and playback

Making diffs more intuitive was the work item for today. VSCode, Azure DevOps, etc. have their own diff algorithm that does some pretty useful stuff to help guide the reader into context. This change to &gap helps to provide even more visibility into inner-diffs by offering a word-based or character-based inner-diff. Sometimes one or the other can help you see changes a little bit better.

Update 4/15/2026

Updates:

Fixed a bug where the tab did not show the modified status when pressing keys such as Backspace, Tab, or Delete in the code editor.

Improved the compiler configuration window.

Added support for the Run button to launch the corresponding executable or interpreter based on the configuration.

&Muze Not much progress, but I got my first "command" working. I have also abstracted moved the MIDI code into the platform layer which solved some bugs I had with hot reloading which is now working as well! I really need to get the sheet music visualizer working...

Important work being done here (&games)

&damian-930 I got drawing and removing list of thing that got drawn working. 500 fps is cause i have some debug testing there that copies images every frame, but if turned off its 1800 frames ))

Found 9220 notes in the linux kernel in 80 seconds.

yesterday I barely could touch &scratchvalult besides fixing the linking errors with the CloseWindow overlap. But today I already got all the basic storage-related needs.
I am now saving the copied contents to disk besides the internal in-memory structure, I load everything back up at start, listing, reloading, deletion, and a basic search within the contents of all the saved texts.
Now getting to a basic working version is mostly figuring out the UI and rendering.
I expect to start that later if nothing comes up 🙂

I added context window narrowing to &gap . This is very helpful for skipping large common areas in bigger files.

My little Minesweeper clone for my &games collection is done enough for today. Next is probably solitaire or something.

I was using this jam to test an idea for a custom renderer based on file type for my text editor. &ViMk is meant to be an “Obsidian” replacement, rendering markdown with vim motions editing, but with "nicer" markdown rendering and support for inline images and objects (because why not lol).
