Alabaster is a light Visual Studio Code theme that intentionally minimizes syntax highlighting to keep code calm and readable. Instead of coloring every token category, it highlights just a small set of classes like strings, statically known constants, comments, and global definitions. Standard language keywords are deliberately left uncolored under the philosophy that they are obvious and draw unnecessary attention. This restraint produces a clean, low-noise editor surface that emphasizes what changes most during editing: names, literals, and commentary. The repository documents the rationale in detail and has inspired ports to other editors, showing its appeal to developers who prefer quiet aesthetics. Community discussions in the issue tracker revolve around targeted tweaks rather than expanding the palette, consistent with the theme’s minimalist vision.

Snapshot plugin with rich features that can make pretty code snapshots for Neovim.

This is an exercise in some advance programming topics using a text adventure as the central result. This originally began as a project to recreate an old BASIC text adventure, on the ZX Spectrum, using Z80. After developing a very simple byte code VM to handle the game interactions, I realised that there was an opportunity to use some more advance techniques, which in turn can lead to some PC based tools.

pastel is a command-line tool to generate, analyze, convert and manipulate colors. It supports many different color formats and color spaces like RGB (sRGB), HSL, CIELAB, CIELCh as well as ANSI 8-bit and 24-bit representations. pastel provides a number of commands like saturate, mix or paint. To get more information about a specific subcommand (say mix), you can call pastel mix -h or pastel help mix. Many pastel commands can be composed by piping the output of one command to another. You can also explicitly specify which colors you want to read from the input.
