Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 07/06/2026I unironically love websites like this. No https, content straight to the point, loads in milliseconds, tiling background of cool rocks. This is peak. 2171

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 25/05/2026The cheap parallel to usb adapters I've bought aren't reliably working with my dot matrix receipt printer. Oh well, time to dive into the spec and wire a raspberry pi to communicate directly with the port instead! 040
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 27/04/2026Settling towards this design for my new forum, more "embrace tradition". What do you think? 280

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 18/04/2026I’ve been on a kick of collecting old recipe books, and I don’t think this sounds Italian or particularly delightful 110
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 06/04/2026My wife baked cookies for Easter and needed a specific half moon cookie cutter. I threw together a site that uses Three.js to design a parametric one and export the STL to be 3D printed. Custom cookie cutter in ~10 mins! 0120
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 10/02/2026This is a fully functioning Laravel application and playground rendered on a static Cloudflare page. The entire app is sandboxed to your client, all files are editable, and you can even run artisan commands. 1112

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 14/12/2025New home has one of these bad boys in it, thinking of repurposing it to use for Home Assistant commands. What do you think, y/n? 2120

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 28/10/2025I made a daily word game! This is sixhints, the goal is to guess a thing through a series of 6 clues that start ambiguous and get more specific as you go. If this is up your alley, play today's word and let me know what you think! 🔗 sixhints.com 161

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 04/10/2025I've released my first Go application! It's a (very basic) terminal video editor that uses ffmpeg and whisper to let you selectively choose which lines from a video you want to keep. You can also preview each line with a pop-up video player! It's called tsplice: 3556
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 16/09/2025I now have a map, and stick a pin in anytime someone pings me with a message that says a location 250
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 14/09/2025Completely forgot to mention it here, but I've hooked up my receipt printer to a public website through a Raspberry Pi and Cloudflare. You can send me a message, and it'll print out immediately on my desk! ping.aschmelyun.com 4565
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 12/08/2025This single index.html page I threw together for a meme has been viewed almost a million times in the last week. Absolute insanity and I've loved every minute. 180
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 20/07/2025This is the single worst UI that I interact with on an almost daily basis 240
Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 24/06/2025It's great when you finally stumble across a name for a particular aesthetic. Anyway, I think I'm in love with cassette futurism. 180

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 26/05/2025This weekend I built my own "autonomous coding agent" that works in the background and generates PRs when an issue gets added to one of my repos. Oh, and it's a single ~500 line long PHP file. Video coming soon! 190

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 29/04/2025One of the biggest disappointments is the loss of detailed manuals for consumer products. Look at this manual for my Sony TV from 1972.
