I currently have capacity to take on new commercial software builds, so if you know of anyone I should talk to let me know or pass on my details. Rust or C#, or even helping non-technical leaders run projects from scratch.

A mammoth 10k-line patch just merged to main for markdown-neuraxis - a complete replacement of markdown parsing engine github.com/timabell/markd… This should prove a good foundation for the ambitious goals of the project. #PKMS #Markdown #FOSS #RustLang

New blog post: "Automatic release notes with semantic commits and git-cliff" 0x5.uk/2026/03/12/aut… #git #development

I've made & published a new VSCode extension to make headings and bullets collapsible in the default markdown preview pane. github.com/timabell/vscod… #VSCode #plugin #outliner #FOSS #markdown

snapshot testing of new wip markdown-neuraxis markdown parser with insta #RustLang crate

@alexander_codes ooh that's tidy

@tim_abell spacecake.ai

1. Discuss & research design with Chat-GPT 2. Get ChatGPT to write up and ADR 3. Download it as a markdown file and check it in to the git repo 4. Get claude code to implement it E.g. this one I just created: github.com/timabell/markd…

@alexander_codes What are you working on?

@tim_abell looks really cool. some crossover with what I'm working on 😊

Quick, sideload markdown-neuraxis while you still can 😬 keepandroidopen.org #StallmanWasRight #Android

sln-item-sync now has better sln folder detection, better version info, better automated build/release, and runs under dotnet 8/9/10 github.com/timabell/sln-i… #dotnet #foss #DotnetTool #SideProject

More UI elements on the markdown-neuraxis android notes app. It's coming together! #discussioncomment-15681277" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/timabell/markd… #PKMS #Markdown #Android #Outliner #FOSS #Maker #Hashtags

Ladies and gentleman. The English language.

My nascent android version of markdown-neuraxis is now pretty snappy at hunting down markdown files and showing them. Grab the apk here if you want to kick the tyres: github.com/timabell/markd…

"Manage multiple local git repositories with gitopolis" I posted this demo vid to youtube. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=M-GUzC…

I'm officially dog-fooding disk-hog-backup - all my backups to external hdd on the currently active disks are entirely created by disk-hog-backup, that's quite a milestone for a small FOSS side project. github.com/timabell/disk-…

@HelpAliExpress This is what takes you to that broken form. It's easy to reproduce, you just put in my email address (t@0x5.uk) in the login form (no password needed) and you get this

@HelpAliExpress You should really fix this form, I tried again, it's broken on firefox and chrome, and it's clearly been broken for a long time seeing as I reported this to you nearly 2 months ago. This broken form is where the "account disabled" message takes you. Pretty crap UX.

@HelpAliExpress trying to buy something for the first time and my new account has been disabled, and the "re-enable" form is broken 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

🎙️Happy Xmas, plus a little insight into my 2025 FOSS shenanigans pod.0x5.uk/32 #podcast

Using a mocap suit to kick yourself in the balls with a robot is a great metaphor to close out 2025.
