  • I built a forum for Kosshi

    Oct 2, 2026#Kosshi

    I built a forum for Kosshi and started running it in July. It's a place where posts and replies stay together by topic, rather like a message board. I've been so absorbed in developing Kosshi these past few months that I haven't had much time to write here.

  • I started a newsletter for Kosshi

    Jun 7, 2026#Kosshi#Newsletter

    A while back I wrote that feedback for Kosshi had started pouring in over email. That hasn't let up, and I've been living in my inbox ever since. The thing that kept bugging me was simple. I can reply to people one by one, but I had no way to tell everyone using Kosshi, "hey, this is changing." I keep a release-notes page, and I post the occasional "just s
