Inspired by the mysterious terminals in Severance, Terminal of Woe invites you to observe a grid of numbers and trust your intuition. Built on iPad and iPhone using Codea, and fully open-source. You are permitted to modify the work. Do not question the task.
Thanks for checking out Terminal of Woe 👋
I just returned from 12 weeks of parental leave. Between the baby and the kids, I promised myself that before the end of my time off, I’d ship something. Something small, weird, and made in Codea — the coding app I built but don’t use nearly enough.
This project was my way to dogfood my own app — to approach it not as a developer, but as a user. I forced myself to resist the urge to debug, to poke into internals, or “just fix” something from the inside. Most of the time, I succeeded.
It wasn’t all smooth, but I loved the process. I wrote about it here: https://sim.coffee/a-week-eating...
Hope you enjoy the terminal. If you don't, file a complaint.
As a non-severance watcher, the jokes are going over my head here, but I am just glad to see a non-ai product in the top here today Thanks for that and congrats on launching the game (err experience?)
Hey Simeon – please, upload the video in this launch again, the preview thumbnail is not loaded at the moment. Usually after uploading the video again is the bug resolved. :)
this is so weird, in an interesting way. good luck with the launch, @twolivesleft
Ohhh, a fantastic idea! Definitely will give it a try and have some Saturday Severance vibes. Nice one, and good luck with your launch 🚀
Edit: You've nailed it visually, it really makes me feel like one of our favorite macrodata refiners. Good job 👏
Amazing APP, I still don't understand it after watching the video introduction. It's interesting.
