# What I'm Doing Now

Inspired by the nownownow.com movement — a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now.

## Building Vanilla

My main project right now is Vanilla — a clean, minimal web experiment built with pure vanilla JS. No frameworks, no libraries, no cruft. Just the raw web, done right.

It's still unreleased but active — I keep adding features and polishing it. The whole point is proving you don't need a framework to make something that feels good.

## Building Gelectron

My side project is Gelectron — a drop-in replacement for Electron that uses native web views (WKWebView / WebView2 / WebKitGTK) instead of bundling Chromium. No 150MB+ binaries. No 300MB of RAM just to show a window. Just your app, running on the OS-native renderer.

Drop-in replacement — just run `gelectron .` instead of `electron .`. Right now I'm filling out the Electron API compatibility layer (BrowserWindow, IPC, Menu, Tray). It's a Rust + Node.js project and every byte and allocation matters.

## Maintaining the FEDL

The Geometry Dash demon list is still going strong. Nearly 4,000 verified runs, 340+ ranked levels, and a community that keeps me busy. I'm working on better moderation tools and a cleaner submission pipeline.

## Back Burner

Noto — the AI note-taking app — is on the back burner for now. It still exists and still works, but Vanilla has my attention. It'll come back around when the time is right.

## This Site

I've been putting a lot of time into milesallen.site — the portfolio you're on right now. I keep adding features, fixing things, and rewriting parts of it. It's my digital home and I want it to be good.
