Imperfect Systems

software · games · music

An independent studio making small, strange, useful things.

Some of it ships, some of it's still cooking, and the whole messy process gets written down in the dev log.

01 — Software

Apps in the workshop

A mix of what's live, what's still cooking, and one thing I'm not ready to talk about yet. The dev log is where most of the work happens in the open.

Deep Cut Atlas

In development

Find the releases that slipped past you

Digs through your favorite artists' back catalog — albums, EPs, and singles you never owned — and queues the ones worth a listen to a "To Check Out" playlist. No algorithm guessing at your taste.

  • SwiftUI
  • MusicKit
  • SwiftData
  • StoreKit 2

Greenhouse

In development

A creative process that refuses to let ideas rot

An opinionated desktop app that enforces a cadence: capture ideas daily, rotate between projects, sit out a cooldown after each session, and never delete a thing. Built to make finishing creative work a habit instead of a hope.

  • Tauri v2
  • Rust
  • SQLite

blog-manager

Internal tool

Where every post starts, before it ships anywhere else

A Rails 8 app that manages drafts, schedules posts, and keeps syndication to Medium, LinkedIn, and Dev.to in sync. Built entirely around this account's own workflow, so it's staying private - but the dev log covers everything that broke building it.

  • Rails 8
  • Turbo
  • Solid Queue

Secret Project

Stealth mode

A roguelike card game, still under wraps

  • Godot 4.x
  • GDScript

02 — Games

Playable detours

A silly little orbit puzzler. More games someday — for now, have a go at this one.

03 — Music

Vicstradamus

San José, Costa Rica

My music project — electronic, hip-hop, and experimental beats. New releases land on all the usual platforms.
