Slug: plasmoid
Summary: Driven by my interest in retro, text-based systems, I built md2txt, a standalone CLI that converts Markdown into Micron and other niche formats such as Ancient Machine Book and Geminis gemtext.
To learn Flutter development I created an opinionated app launcher for Android. It's working prinicple is based on text search inspired by [Notational Velocity](https://www.notational.net/) and text based minimalism.
Instead of widgets, folders or docks, you get a single searchable list where typing is the primary way to navigate. It's fast and keyboard-first. Apps you reach for constantly can be pinned to the top; ones you rarely use get pushed to the bottom out of the way. Tags let you impose your own vocabulary on top of the system's categories, so searching *+work* or *@social* surfaces exactly what you mean rather than what Android thinks you mean.
Plasmoid treats your app list as something you actively curate rather than a grid you scroll through without getting in the way. Just like software should be.
