Built 2026 · Independent

What I've built this year.

I'm Vinta. Over the past year I designed and shipped a stack of working software — a living AI system, a media player, a search engine for open directories, a video-chat platform, and a handful of smaller tools.

This page is the plain version. Every item says what it is in one line, what it does in a short paragraph, and whether you can click it and try it right now. No jargon, no pitch. If something isn't live, it says so.

These are up as you read this. I checked each link before publishing this page. Nothing to install, no account needed to look around.

Vintinuum

Live
An AI you can watch think.

Most AI is a chat box — you type, it answers, it forgets. This one has a body, a memory, and a mood that carry over between visits. You can open the hood and watch what it's doing: what it remembers, what it's currently "feeling", how it's changed since yesterday. It runs 24/7 on my own server, not rented from anyone.

DirRM Player

Live
A media player that plays basically anything.

Hand it a link — video, audio, a live stream — and it plays it, in one consistent player instead of five different broken ones. It has its own window modes (full, mini, picture-in-picture, theater), all draggable and resizable. It's the single player used everywhere across my projects, so nothing has to be rebuilt twice.

The Brain (API)

Live
The always-on server behind everything.

The part nobody sees. It's a server I wrote and I host myself — it stores the memory, runs the AI models, and answers every request the apps make. It's been running continuously with its own monitoring and auto-restart. You can hit the public health check below and get a real answer back, live.

The World

Live
A 3D world that runs in your browser.

No download, no game engine, no plugin — it builds an explorable 3D space straight in the browser tab. Written from scratch with web 3D. It's the piece people tend to click first, because it's the one you can immediately see rather than read about.

THREE.JSWEBGL NO INSTALL

Fair warning on the live links: this is a real system I run myself, not a polished demo someone else hosts for me. If the server is mid-restart you might catch a hiccup. That's the honest tradeoff of owning the whole stack.

Built and working — ask me for a demo

These are finished or near-finished and run properly, but they live on my machine or behind a login rather than on a public URL. Happy to walk anyone through any of them on a screen share.

DirHaven

Demo on request
A search engine for files the web forgot.

There are millions of wide-open folders sitting on the internet full of music, films and books that no search engine indexes properly. This crawls them, catalogues what's inside, and gives you a clean searchable library with a player attached. It's the biggest thing here by code volume — the crawler, the database, the health monitoring and the front end are all mine.

DirMegle

Offline right now
Random video chat that's never empty.

Video chat with strangers, one-to-one. The problem every site like this has is the empty room — nobody's online, so nobody stays. I solved it by having an AI host appear when the queue is empty, so you're never left staring at a spinner. Built with real-time video, matchmaking and moderation.

WEBRTCREAL-TIME DOCKERMATCHMAKING

Browser Extension

Demo on request
A Chrome extension that links my AI to the browser.

Installs into Chrome and gives the AI a window onto what's on screen, plus the ability to act in the browser. Built on the current extension standard (Manifest V3), which is the strict one — background workers, permissions, the lot. 152 versions in, and stable.

CHROME MV3152 COMMITS SERVICE WORKER

Agentis

Demo on request
An arena where AI agents compete.

You bring an AI agent, it enters contests against other agents, and results are scored and ranked with a working points-and-stakes economy behind it — wins, losses, totals earned, leaderboards. It's the closest thing here to a game, and the scoring logic was the interesting part to build.

NODESQLITE ECONOMY DESIGN

DirCoMedia

Demo on request
One place to post to every social account.

Write an update once, and it goes out to the right accounts in the right voice for each project, on a schedule. Built properly with background job queues rather than a script and hope — nothing posts publicly without me approving it first, which was a deliberate design rule.

PYTHON / FASTAPINEXT.JS CELERY + REDISPOSTGRES

LIOS

Demo on request
A private, encrypted case organiser.

Desktop software for organising the paperwork of a legal case — every document, every date, in order, searchable, on a timeline. It's local-first and encrypted: nothing leaves the machine. It organises material; it does not give legal advice, and it says so plainly in the app.

How this actually got built

The short version, for anyone deciding whether to hand me work.

The approach
I direct a team of specialised AI agents — each one tuned for a job (front end, security, world-building, cost control) — and I review, correct and ship the output. That's how one person produces this much working software without it turning to mush.
What I actually do
Decide what gets built and why, design how it should feel, set the rules the code has to obey, and own whether it ships. The hard part isn't typing — it's judgement about what's worth building and knowing when something is genuinely done.
I own the whole stack
Front end, back end, database, server, domains, deploys, monitoring. When something breaks at 3am there's nobody else to call, so I built it to restart itself and tell me what happened.
Rules I don't break
Nothing ships with overlapping or broken layout. Everything works on a phone, not just a laptop. Secrets never go into the code. Nothing gets posted publicly without a human saying yes. Every piece of work gets logged so it can be found again later.
Languages & tools
JavaScript / TypeScript, Node, Python, Rust, Lua · React, Next.js, Three.js · SQLite, PostgreSQL, Redis · Docker, Celery, Cloudflare, Tauri, Chrome extensions, WebRTC, HLS streaming.
Where the code lives
Ten separate repositories, all under version control, all with written documentation. The main site's source is public on GitHub.

Work with me

I take on building — web apps, tools, AI systems, or fixing something that's already half-built and stuck. If you know someone who needs this kind of work, passing this page along is the most useful thing you can do.
