Active Software Projects

Open Source

• sonar is an alarm clock program that plays a folder of random music. Mine currently wakes me up to speeches from the philosopher Alan Watts.
• kirsle/blog: the Go software that currently powers the back-end of kirsle.net.
• rivescript-js: the JavaScript port of RiveScript, see RiveScript below.
• dethnote: encrypted, zero-knowledge message storage with time-delayed dead man's switch to unlock messages.

Closed Source

• doodle: a drawing-based maze game written in Go using SDL2.

Long Term Support

• rophako: the Python blog and content management system that previously powered kirsle.net.

RiveScript

RiveScript is a chatbot scripting language I originally programmed in Perl around 2003 during a time when chatbots were popular (i.e. SmarterChild).

A second wave of chatbots has come and gone around 2016 and interest has been dropping off again. Most of the implementations of RiveScript are in "long term support" mode without actively gaining new features.

• rivescript-js: work is nearing completion on v2.0.0 which brings much needed async support and gets away from CoffeeScript. After v2.0.0 is stable rivescript-js will return to long term support.
• rivescript-python
• rivescript-go
• rivescript-java: mostly maintained by @marceloverdijk nowadays.
