Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

MUDs are a great breeding ground for bespoke programs. I've made my own system of triggers and aliases in Rust, which interfaces with Mudlet (very popular MUD client) through JSON over stdio. Being written in Rust, it has enabled a publicly usable web tool (http://seurimas.github.io/topper/explainer/?/topper/explaine...), but the majority of the code is just for me.

The site you linked isn't loading for me. It's just a black page with a favicon

I had the wrong path for the demo file. It ought to work now.
