// opening monologue
Hey, I'm Hunter. I build small, sharp software: games that boot in the browser, tools that live in the menu bar, and terminal apps that make dense data feel readable. This issue's cover star is Instagib Arena — a one-shot railgun FPS with real netcode, free in the browser. Live games first, terminal utilities next, native macOS apps after that, and chuds.dev as the launchpad for the whole set.
