PROJECTS 01

From nova-in-rs

A collection of Rust-based side projects I self-host, use, and keep building.

I build things I wish existed powered by Rust

Welcome to Nova-in-rs — a collection of Rust-based side projects I create with self-hosting to explore, learn, and make life better. Everything here is experimental, evolving, and a playground for ideas that excite me.

🚧 WIP
Yui

AI assistant with a proper memory system powered by SurrealDB and Rust/WASM. Write, call, communicate — daily help.

🚧 WIP
NovaBrain

Self-hosted "second brain" — day planning, tasks, mental energy, finances. Useful for neurodivergent workflows. Connectable to Yui.

VoxelNova

A dream voxel game inspired by Minecraft — mega render distance, better automation systems, faster gameplay. Written in Bevy.

  • Projects are self-hosted and experimental.
  • Still learning Rust — quality may vary, but everything improves over time.
  • Feedback, ideas, and issues are welcome, though most code is personal for now.
