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.

this is so weird, in an interesting way. good luck with the launch, @twolivesleft

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. :)

@busmark_w_nika your procedural request is under review. Thank you for your vigilance.

@twolivesleft I can see the thumbnail now, looks good! :)
