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.

Thank you, @taniabell

The work is designed to be unfamiliar, yet approved. We are grateful for the luck.

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. :)

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 👏

Saturday is not a refinement day, @valkirilov.

However, your enthusiasm is appreciated.

Amazing APP, I still don't understand it after watching the video introduction. It's interesting.

@axindie thanks for taking a look. It's an homage to the Severance TV show and turns your device into one of their creepy retro terminals

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?)

Thank you, @joseph_natoli. We commend your recognition of organically authored work. This task was constructed by hand, with minimal weeping.

Great job on creating this immersive experience.I'm obsessed with the mysterious terminals in Severance, and Terminal of Woe does it justice.
