I build small, sharp tools that keep the stack honest — frameworks, runtimes, ORMs, and a site for creative work that pays for itself.
- Building zmodu — a compile-time modular framework and worker-oriented runtime for Zig.
- Shipping zfinal — an AI-first Zig web framework with codegen, manifests, and an ORM.
- Maintaining zdoc — turn a folder of Markdown into a documentation site.
- Running chy3.xyz — a bilingual home for open-source creative infrastructure.
| Project | Stack | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| zmodu | Zig |
Compile-time modular application framework and worker-oriented runtime. Docs |
| zfinal | Zig |
AI-first web framework: codegen, JSON manifests, ORM, CSRF, and WebSocket. |
| zent | Zig |
Comptime-driven entity framework / ORM for SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. |
| zdoc | Zig |
Markdown folder → docs site. One binary, no config. Fork of Zine. |
| chy3.xyz | HTML CSS |
This repository. Bilingual site for CHY3, built with zdoc. |

chy3.xyz is the public face of CHY3: a bilingual, content-driven site about making creative work pay. It is built with zdoc, hand-written CSS, and a very small amount of vanilla JavaScript — no framework, no bundler. The source lives in this repository; build and deploy notes are in DEVELOPMENT.md.
Notes from the site on making creative work pay:
- The 2026 Creator Economy: From Attention to Value
- Designing Commercial Paths for Open-Source Projects
- Technical Architecture for Creative Monetization

Small tools. Sharp edges. Open source, all the way down.
